00:00:46Bonjour à tous, je suis vraiment ravie d'être ici parmi vous aujourd'hui.
00:00:52C'est un jour assez spécial pour la French Tech.
00:00:54Viva Tech, comme tous les ans, c'est le moment où l'écosystème de la French Tech rayonne,
00:01:00ici à Paris, mais bien sûr à l'international, avec un nombre incroyable de startups représentées dans ce salon.
00:01:08La French Tech, notre rôle, c'est de pouvoir faire en sorte que l'écosystème des startups en France puisse
00:01:16grandir année après année.
00:01:18Et à cet effet, je pense que nous sommes sur certains records.
00:01:22Nous avons vu à quel point, dans les années précédentes, la French Tech a accéléré.
00:01:27C'est aujourd'hui un million de personnes qui travaillent de façon directe ou indirecte dans les startups de la
00:01:33French Tech.
00:01:34C'est plus de 27 licornes depuis l'arrivée de notre dernière licorne ECOVADIS hier, qui a été annoncée,
00:01:42et 12 milliards d'euros de levée ici en France pour ces startups qui innovent dans tous les secteurs.
00:01:48Une véritable accélération et nous pouvons en être très fiers.
00:01:51Les entrepreneurs font ce secteur, ils font grandir, ils trouvent des solutions et nous sommes fiers de les accompagner.
00:01:58Pourquoi aujourd'hui est un moment spécial ?
00:02:01Parce que nous avons choisi de mettre à l'honneur, sur le stand de la French Tech, un secteur tout
00:02:06particulier.
00:02:07Celui de la transition écologique.
00:02:11Je pense que chacun d'entre nous le sent au quotidien.
00:02:15Le changement climatique est maintenant.
00:02:18Il faut agir, il faut agir de façon urgente, il faut changer nos comportements, il faut trouver des nouvelles technologies.
00:02:24Les startups de la French Tech peuvent apporter une partie des solutions.
00:02:30Je pense par exemple à Blablacar, qu'on ne présente plus, qui a permis qu'un certain nombre d'entre
00:02:35nous ne prennent plus leur voiture seule,
00:02:37mais en covoiturage, et donc incitent ce changement de comportement.
00:02:41Mais je pense aussi à des entreprises technologiques, comme Insect, qui construit la première ferme verticale négative en impact carbone
00:02:50pour remplacer nos protéines animales par des protéines d'insectes.
00:02:53Toutes ces startups innovent, non pas en Silicon Valley, non pas en Asie.
00:02:59Elles innovent ici, en Europe.
00:03:01Nous avons les moyens de devenir les leaders de ce secteur.
00:03:05Nous avons les moyens de prendre la tête de ce changement.
00:03:09C'est pourquoi, avec la mission French Tech, nous avons lancé maintenant, il y a un an,
00:03:14en partenariat avec le ministère de la Transition écologique, un programme dédié à ces innovations.
00:03:20Ce programme, qui s'appelle le French Tech Green Vin, a déjà fait ses preuves.
00:03:26Nous allons dans quelques minutes vous dévoiler les nouveaux lauréats,
00:03:29avec le ministre que je salue ici et qui nous fait l'honneur immense de sa présence.
00:03:34Mais pour revenir sur la première promotion de l'année dernière, la barre est très haute.
00:03:39Sur les 20 startups sélectionnées, et nous avons eu l'occasion d'en rencontrer quelques-unes ce matin,
00:03:44comme Algama, comme encore Lactips, qui fait des protéines à base de lait,
00:03:50elles innovent partout en France.
00:03:52Elles innovent à grande échelle.
00:03:53Elles ont le pouvoir de changer les choses à grande échelle, partout et dans le monde.
00:03:58Pour ne citer que quelques chiffres, 5 d'entre elles ont fait une entrée en bourse l'année dernière.
00:04:05Une entrée en bourse très remarquée, notamment la dernière Life,
00:04:08qui fait déjà partie aujourd'hui du segment Tech Leaders Euronext.
00:04:12On voit à quel point elles sont les leaders du secteur.
00:04:15Elles ont levé plus de 500 millions d'euros à L20.
00:04:18C'est la moitié du secteur de la Green Tech.
00:04:21Ce sont donc les leaders, elles vont pouvoir accompagner ce secteur,
00:04:25et nous, nous pourrons les accompagner.
00:04:28Il a été très difficile de choisir parmi les 1800 startups de la Green Tech en France,
00:04:33dont la moitié seulement ont été fondées depuis seulement 5 années.
00:04:39Ça vous montre, je crois, le dynamisme du secteur et l'urgence à agir contre ces entrepreneurs.
00:04:43Très difficile donc de choisir seulement 20 pépites parmi ces 1800 startups.
00:04:49Mais aujourd'hui, nous allons pouvoir vous dévoiler la promotion 2022 du Green 20
00:04:54et nous sommes extrêmement fiers de le faire en présence de M. Bruno Le Maire,
00:04:58ministre de l'Economie, des Finances, de la Souveraineté industrielle et numérique.
00:05:03Je vais donc lui passer la parole.
00:05:15Merci Clara, merci à tous de votre présence.
00:05:19Je vais commencer, comme je vais vous faire de grands remerciements,
00:05:22par un seul petit reproche au monde de la tech.
00:05:25Clara, on est le contre-exemple.
00:05:27Mais il faut que la tech progresse sur l'égalité femmes-hommes.
00:05:33Il y a encore trop de patrons hommes exclusivement dans la tech.
00:05:36Il n'y a pas suffisamment de femmes ingénieures dans la tech.
00:05:39Donc je compte sur vous pour progresser sur l'égalité femmes-hommes dans le monde de la tech française.
00:05:46C'est essentiel.
00:05:49Je voudrais remercier également tous les entrepreneurs qui sont présents ici.
00:05:55Un million d'emplois indirects, vous l'avez rappelé.
00:05:59500 000 emplois directs, c'est considérable.
00:06:02Et surtout quand on regarde la progression au cours des dernières années,
00:06:06c'est plus 20% d'emplois chaque année.
00:06:09Donc si nous voulons atteindre notre objectif du plein emploi,
00:06:13nous l'atteindrons aussi grâce à la tech.
00:06:16Nous, nous avons une responsabilité.
00:06:19C'est vous créer un environnement qui soit le plus favorable possible,
00:06:22le plus stable possible en matière de fiscalité,
00:06:26en matière d'impôts, en matière de simplification des règles.
00:06:31Ça restera notre cap.
00:06:34Simplification, allègement des impôts, soutien au monde de la tech,
00:06:38soutien à l'innovation pour vous permettre de poursuivre vos investissements
00:06:42dans les meilleures conditions possibles.
00:06:44Nous avons une deuxième responsabilité essentielle,
00:06:48c'est vous apporter les compétences que vous avez besoin.
00:06:51C'est un des énormes défis que vous avez tous,
00:06:54si je vous entends bien sur vos stands,
00:06:56trouver les compétences dont vous avez besoin
00:06:59et ne pas avoir de pénurie de recrutement
00:07:01au moment où vous avez besoin de développer votre entreprise.
00:07:04Là aussi, c'est notre responsabilité.
00:07:06Toutes vos propositions en la matière seront les bienvenues.
00:07:09On n'a pas la vérité révélée,
00:07:10mais on a besoin que vous nous disiez,
00:07:12ben voilà, il nous manque telle compétence, telle formation.
00:07:14Il faut que vous fassiez le nécessaire pour améliorer cette situation.
00:07:18Après, je vois trois défis majeurs pour la tech
00:07:22dans les mois et les années qui viennent.
00:07:26Le premier défi, c'est le financement.
00:07:28Chacun a bien vu, ou alors c'est qu'il ne lit pas le journal
00:07:31et qu'il n'ouvre pas la télévision,
00:07:33que les conditions de financement sont en train de changer radicalement.
00:07:39L'argent facile, l'argent gratuit ou presque gratuit
00:07:43quand on l'emprunte, pour les entreprises, pour l'État,
00:07:46c'est fini.
00:07:48Et chacun doit en avoir conscience.
00:07:51Les taux zéros pour les États,
00:07:52voire les taux négatifs, c'est fini.
00:07:55Les taux extrêmement bas où on peut emprunter de l'argent,
00:07:57très facilement, c'est fini.
00:08:00Donc notre responsabilité est de continuer à vous garantir
00:08:04un financement solide par d'autres moyens.
00:08:07C'est l'initiative Scale-Up qu'on a lancée avec l'Allemagne,
00:08:10avec l'Italie, avec l'Espagne.
00:08:123 milliards d'euros que nous mettrons à votre disposition
00:08:14d'ici la fin de cette année pour vous aider à vous financer.
00:08:19C'est s'appuyer sur la Banque Européenne d'Investissement
00:08:21qui doit investir encore davantage dans la tech,
00:08:25les technologies de rupture.
00:08:26C'est ce que fait l'excellent Bruno Bonnel
00:08:29qui, désormais, si il a besoin d'argent,
00:08:31ce n'est pas au ministre des Finances qu'il faut s'adresser,
00:08:33c'est à Bruno Bonnel, secrétaire général
00:08:36en charge de l'investissement.
00:08:39Il a 30 milliards d'euros à disposition
00:08:42qui sont là, justement, pour financer la tech
00:08:45et vous aider à vous financer dans de bonnes conditions.
00:08:48Mais c'est le premier défi,
00:08:49vous permettre de vous financer
00:08:51dans des conditions qui sont objectivement
00:08:53plus difficiles aujourd'hui.
00:08:55Vous y êtes arrivé, bravo, 27 licornes dès 2022
00:08:58alors qu'on avait des objectifs moins ambitieux.
00:09:01Comme vous avez fait mieux que nos objectifs,
00:09:03moi, je vous fixe d'autres objectifs.
00:09:0610 décacordes en 2030, 5 en 2025.
00:09:13C'est-à-dire 5 entreprises avec 10 milliards d'euros
00:09:16de capitalisation française en 2025.
00:09:2010 entreprises de la tech
00:09:21avec 10 milliards d'euros de capitalisation en 2030.
00:09:27Françaises, bien sûr.
00:09:28Est-ce qu'il y en a ici qui sont prêts à relever le défi ?
00:09:31Je voudrais voir quelques mains qui se lèvent, quand même.
00:09:34C'est pas mal.
00:09:35On va arriver à 30 décacordes d'ici 2030.
00:09:38Ce sera formidable.
00:09:39Donc moi, je vous garantis un accès à des financements nouveaux.
00:09:44Et il faut que vous, vous continuiez à vous développer, à grandir.
00:09:47Il n'y a aucune raison que les plus grandes entreprises de la tech
00:09:51soient exclusivement aux Etats-Unis, en Chine ou ailleurs.
00:09:55Vous êtes en train de relever le défi.
00:09:56Il faut continuer dans cette voie-là.
00:09:58On vous garantit les conditions fiscales de simplification
00:10:00et de financement dont vous avez besoin.
00:10:04Deuxième défi que vous êtes en train de relever
00:10:06et sur lequel il faut tenir bon,
00:10:08c'est lier la tech et l'industrie.
00:10:11Il n'y a pas d'un côté les chercheurs qui sont dans leur laboratoire
00:10:15et qui travaillent sur des choses très compliquées
00:10:17et de l'autre l'industrie qui développe des produits manufacturiers.
00:10:21Ça, c'est une vision totalement datée.
00:10:23Les deux vont ensemble.
00:10:24Quand je regarde ce qui est développé en termes nutritifs,
00:10:28de l'agroalimentaire, avec les micro-algues
00:10:31pour que ce soit utilisé dans la pâtisserie,
00:10:33vous avez bien le lien entre la tech et l'industrie.
00:10:37Quand je vois ce qui est fait en matière de déchets
00:10:39pour récupérer les déchets
00:10:40et en faire des blocs qui peuvent être ensuite réutilisés
00:10:43dans le bâtiment et les travaux publics,
00:10:45il n'y a pas de séparation entre la technologie
00:10:47et le développement industriel.
00:10:50Les deux sont totalement liés.
00:10:52Donc il faut qu'on continue
00:10:53parce que c'est la tech qui fera la réindustrialisation de la France.
00:10:59Et c'est la souveraineté numérique,
00:11:01la maîtrise de nos technologies
00:11:03qui fera notre souveraineté industrielle.
00:11:06Il n'y a pas de souveraineté industrielle
00:11:08si la technologie est chinoise, américaine
00:11:11ou venue de l'étranger.
00:11:12Vous êtes souverains industriellement
00:11:15quand vous êtes souverains technologiquement
00:11:17et je compte sur vous pour relever ce défi.
00:11:19Je dis aussi qu'il ne faut pas forcément se disperser.
00:11:22On a un certain nombre de secteurs
00:11:24que nous avons définis comme prioritaires
00:11:26en écoutant l'écosystème de la tech,
00:11:29en écoutant les industriels,
00:11:30en écoutant les scientifiques,
00:11:32en regardant aussi quelle était notre disponibilité
00:11:35en termes de production industrielle et de savoir-faire.
00:11:38Et donc vous avez un certain nombre de secteurs
00:11:39dont Bruno Bonnel est directement responsable
00:11:41sur lequel le lien tech et industrie soit se développer.
00:11:45C'est l'énergie avec l'hydrogène,
00:11:48avec l'électrolyse,
00:11:51ça va être le nucléaire avec les SMR,
00:11:53il faut qu'on arrive à développer les SMR,
00:11:55ça va être le spatial avec les micro-lanceurs,
00:11:58les mini-lanceurs, les lanceurs renouvelables.
00:12:00On attend beaucoup du monde de la tech
00:12:01pour développer ces savoir-faire-là.
00:12:03Ça va être l'agroalimentaire que j'ai cité,
00:12:06ça va être les batteries électriques
00:12:07parce qu'il est indispensable au moment où on abandonne
00:12:10le véhicule thermique en 2035
00:12:12qu'on développe des nouveaux types de batteries,
00:12:15qu'ils soient des batteries plus propres,
00:12:17des batteries qu'on recycle,
00:12:18des batteries qui soient ion-lithium solide et pas liquide.
00:12:21On compte sur la tech
00:12:22pour nous apporter les solutions technologiques
00:12:25aux défis industriels que nous avons à relever.
00:12:28Et moi, je vous donne une garantie là-dessus.
00:12:30Je vous donne une garantie sur le financement.
00:12:32Je vous donne une garantie sur la stabilité fiscale.
00:12:37Par les temps qui courent,
00:12:39c'est pas mal d'avoir de la stabilité fiscale.
00:12:41Je préfère le dire au passage.
00:12:43Je vous donne une garantie sur le lien entre industrie et tech.
00:12:47Il y a une autre garantie que je vous donne,
00:12:49c'est que nous allons nous battre
00:12:50avec le président de la République
00:12:51pour que lorsque l'on vous impose des règles,
00:12:54et ça fera le lien avec mon dernier point,
00:12:58eh bien on impose les mêmes contraintes
00:13:00aux produits qui sont importés de Chine ou d'ailleurs.
00:13:04Il n'y a aucune raison qu'on vous demande
00:13:06de développer des technologies pour décarboner notre industrie
00:13:09et ces technologies ont un coût.
00:13:11Elles pèsent sur le coût du produit final
00:13:13et que dans le même temps,
00:13:14on laisse rentrer en Europe ou en France
00:13:16des produits industriels
00:13:18qui ne sont soumis à aucune de ces règles
00:13:20ou à aucune de ces objectifs environnementaux.
00:13:24Nous nous battrons pour qu'il y ait en bon français
00:13:26du level playing field en matière de commerce international
00:13:29sur les règles environnementales et les règles industrielles.
00:13:33Sinon, vous ne serez pas compétitifs.
00:13:36Enfin, le troisième défi,
00:13:37le financement, le développement industriel.
00:13:40Le troisième, c'est évidemment le changement climatique,
00:13:44la décarbonation de notre industrie,
00:13:46l'accélération de la production d'électricité décarbonée
00:13:50dont on va avoir massivement besoin.
00:13:52Là, je compte sur vous
00:13:53et je voudrais fixer un autre objectif.
00:13:55Vous avez cité le chiffre tout à l'heure.
00:13:57Clara, 1800 entreprises qui travaillent dans la décarbonation
00:14:02et qui sont labellisées environnementales
00:14:05et qui participent de cette lutte
00:14:08contre le réchauffement climatique.
00:14:09Nous sommes quatrième en Europe.
00:14:12Ce n'est pas bon.
00:14:14Quatrième, ce n'est pas français.
00:14:16Nous, notre place, c'est premier.
00:14:19Donc je vous demande,
00:14:20les mondes de la tech,
00:14:22les entreprises de la tech
00:14:24doivent être les premières en Europe
00:14:26en matière de lutte contre le changement climatique.
00:14:29Et il faut qu'on se fixe cet objectif.
00:14:31D'ici 5 ans,
00:14:33l'écosystème de la tech en Europe
00:14:34qui est le premier en matière de décarbonation,
00:14:37de lutte contre le changement climatique,
00:14:38de procéder pour réduire les émissions de CO2,
00:14:41c'est l'écosystème de la tech française.
00:14:44Ça doit être un objectif partagé pour nous tous.
00:14:47Ce sera intéressant technologiquement.
00:14:49Ça créera des emplois.
00:14:50Et je pense que ça nous mettra en position
00:14:53de leader européen et mondial.
00:14:55Je vous donne juste un exemple que j'ai vu tout à l'heure.
00:14:57J'étais sur le stand du CNRS.
00:14:59J'ai vu une entreprise extraordinaire
00:15:01qui s'appelle Cairo,
00:15:02ce que vous connaissez peut-être,
00:15:04qui est la seule à pouvoir rassembler
00:15:05l'ensemble des données à travers la planète,
00:15:08les traiter par l'intelligence artificielle,
00:15:10et du coup arriver à localiser les émissions de CO2
00:15:14avec une définition à 15 mètres près
00:15:17pour savoir exactement qui émet du CO2
00:15:20à travers la planète.
00:15:22Si on veut mettre en place le mécanisme d'ajustement carbone
00:15:25dans de bonnes conditions,
00:15:26en place,
00:15:27si on veut vraiment faire un bilan carbone
00:15:29de chaque État, de chaque continent,
00:15:31de matière précise,
00:15:33il y a une seule entreprise au monde
00:15:35qui est capable de le faire.
00:15:37C'est une entreprise française.
00:15:39Elle s'appelle Kairos
00:15:40et elle développe des technologies françaises.
00:15:43Eh bien moi, je veux qu'il y en ait partout,
00:15:44dans tous les domaines
00:15:45de la lutte contre le changement climatique.
00:15:47Nous devons être pas quatrième,
00:15:49pas troisième, pas second.
00:15:51Nous devons être premiers.
00:15:53Je compte sur vous.
00:15:54Quand je vois tout ce que vous avez réussi,
00:15:55je suis sûr que vous relèverez aussi ce défi.
00:15:57Merci à toutes et à tous.
00:16:05Merci, monsieur le ministre.
00:16:07Et donc, nous allons arriver au moment
00:16:09que vous attendez tous,
00:16:11c'est-à-dire que l'on va inviter sur scène
00:16:13les lauréats du Green 20,
00:16:16la promotion 2022.
00:16:17Vous avez eu la chance d'en rencontrer
00:16:19quelques-uns tout à l'heure en avant-première,
00:16:21mais ils sont assez nombreux
00:16:23et ils sont là pour œuvrer,
00:16:25comme le disait monsieur le ministre très justement,
00:16:27dans tous les secteurs de la transition écologique.
00:16:30La décarbonation de l'industrie,
00:16:33les changements énergétiques,
00:16:36les changements de l'agroalimentaire,
00:16:37ils sont partout, ils innovent
00:16:39et nous aurons l'occasion ensuite,
00:16:42après cette petite photo de famille
00:16:43que nous allons faire tous ensemble,
00:16:45d'en entendre quelques-uns.
00:16:46Donc, je vous invite aussi
00:16:47à rester avec nous pour la suite.
00:16:48Sans plus attendre,
00:16:49je vous invite à nous rejoindre sur scène,
00:16:51tous les patrons et patronnes
00:16:53des entreprises du Green 20.
00:17:17On peut les applaudir très fort.
00:17:31Et donc, pour rappel,
00:17:33la promotion de l'année dernière
00:17:34a levé plus de 500 millions d'euros.
00:17:374 d'entre eux ont fait des entrées en bourse.
00:17:40Donc, vous savez où est l'ambition ?
00:17:42Je pense que le ministre l'a ancrée.
00:17:43L'ambition, c'est d'être numéro 1 de ce secteur.
00:17:46On sait qu'on peut le faire
00:17:47et on pourra le faire grâce à vous, bien sûr,
00:17:49qui êtes représentatif de l'évolution de ce secteur
00:17:52et de l'excellence française dans ce secteur,
00:17:54mais grâce aux 1 800 start-up
00:17:56que vous représentez aussi aujourd'hui.
00:18:06Merci beaucoup.
00:18:08Monsieur le ministre, je sais que vous êtes attendus.
00:18:10Donc, nous allons pouvoir vous libérer
00:18:11et continuer la séquence par la suite.
00:18:14Merci.
00:18:15Merci.
00:18:16A bientôt.
00:18:21Thomas, il n'est pas là, non ?
00:18:27En fait, là, il y a un MC qui reprend,
00:18:29qui s'appelle Mike.
00:18:30Ah oui.
00:18:31C'est moi.
00:18:31C'est moi qui parle où ?
00:18:34On peut passer tout en anglais, là, maintenant.
00:18:36Comme tu préfères.
00:18:38Tu préfères en français ?
00:18:39Je peux le faire en français.
00:18:40Vas-y, français, français.
00:18:40Attention, on est déjà en français.
00:18:41Et on switch après.
00:18:43D'accord.
00:18:44On commence à penser ?
00:18:45Oui.
00:18:45Donc, j'ai à débuter.
00:18:46Oui.
00:18:47Tiens.
00:18:51Ah oui, OK.
00:18:53C'est une discussion, je l'ai oubliée.
00:18:55All right, so, we're going to continue this session
00:18:58with French Tech Green 20.
00:19:00And so, I'd like to welcome to the stage, please,
00:19:04Thomas Cotinet.
00:19:10Oui, bonjour à tous et à tous.
00:19:13Je suis Thomas Cotinet du ministère de la transition écologique
00:19:17et de la cohésion des territoires et du ministère de la transition énergétique.
00:19:20J'ai la chance de diriger Écolab, qui porte notamment l'initiative
00:19:24Green Tech Innovation, donc initiative qui consiste à détecter
00:19:28les startups green tech les plus prometteuses.
00:19:31Et d'ailleurs, dans la nouvelle promotion de Green 20,
00:19:34celles et ceux qui viennent de monter sur scène,
00:19:37la moitié sont Green Tech Innovation.
00:19:39Donc, voilà.
00:19:40Donc, nous faisons le maximum pour faire émerger plus de startups
00:19:44et de PME qui vont rapidement rencontrer leur marché
00:19:48avec une prise en compte des spécificités des marchés
00:19:51de la transition écologique et en particulier la vente.
00:19:55Voilà.
00:19:55On parle beaucoup de financement parce que c'est indispensable
00:19:58de financer les startups, mais il faut également les aider à vendre
00:20:02et les aider à vendre dans les secteurs de la transition écologique,
00:20:05qu'il s'agisse de la mobilité, de l'énergie, du bâtiment,
00:20:09la préservation des espèces, la prévention des risques naturels
00:20:12ou industriels.
00:20:13Ça veut souvent dire les aider à vendre à des acteurs publics,
00:20:17d'où une action spécifique du programme Green Tech Innovation
00:20:20pour travailler à une meilleure orientation de la commande publique française,
00:20:24qui est très importante en France, au profit des startups
00:20:27de l'innovation verte.
00:20:29Green Tech Innovation, c'est aussi un rôle de tiers de confiance.
00:20:33Alors, on est dans un contexte de greenwashing.
00:20:37Je pense qu'il faut avoir le courage de le dire,
00:20:39même si on est super heureux qu'Avivatech ait énormément
00:20:42d'entreprises Green Tech.
00:20:44Ceci dit, pour des startups et des PME Green Tech,
00:20:46c'est devenu beaucoup plus difficile par rapport à il y a 5 ans.
00:20:49C'est beaucoup plus difficile d'émerger.
00:20:51Et donc, elles ont besoin de l'État.
00:20:53Et là, le ministre de la Transition écologique vient apporter la garantie
00:20:56que l'impact écologique, la promesse d'impact écologique
00:21:00de toutes ces solutions innovantes est au rendez-vous.
00:21:02Donc, nous faisons le maximum pour apporter,
00:21:05en partenariat avec la mission French Tech,
00:21:08en partenariat avec Business France,
00:21:10avec l'AFNOR, avec la Commission européenne également,
00:21:12nous faisons le maximum pour apporter cette visibilité
00:21:15aux startups et aux PME qui innovent au service
00:21:18des politiques publiques de la transition écologique.
00:21:21215 startups sont d'ores et déjà accompagnées.
00:21:25Et une quarantaine nouvelles vont arriver.
00:21:28En tout cas, voilà, en tant que représentant de ce ministère aujourd'hui,
00:21:32je suis vraiment très, très heureux d'accueillir les 22 lauréats
00:21:36de Green 20 dans la grande famille de la Green Tech française.
00:21:40Bravo à vous.
00:21:41Et très heureux qu'il y ait 30% de CEO femmes.
00:21:45J'abonde complètement dans les propos du ministre.
00:21:47C'est aussi un autre objectif de faire monter l'entrepreneuriat féminin
00:21:51dans le secteur de la Green Tech.
00:21:53Donc, voilà, bravo aux lauréats.
00:21:54Et je passe la parole au MC.
00:21:57Merci.
00:22:00Merci, merci beaucoup, Thomas.
00:22:04OK.
00:22:09OK, according to my script, yes, we have three chairs.
00:22:13Just three, OK.
00:22:15That's good then.
00:22:15So, I will now ask, please,
00:22:18carry us and like tips to please come to the stage
00:22:21so we can discuss a little bit their experiences with.
00:22:27And also, could I invite Louis Fleuret also to this stage?
00:22:33You're coming?
00:22:34OK.
00:22:34Cloud and Clara Chappas, welcome back.
00:22:37Thank you.
00:22:39Thank you.
00:22:40Is that everyone?
00:22:42OK.
00:22:43OK, good.
00:22:45So, Thomas, welcome back.
00:22:49OK, we have the two startups.
00:22:50OK, perfect.
00:22:51Please take a seat.
00:22:57All right.
00:23:02So, this is very cozy, isn't it?
00:23:05All right, good.
00:23:06So, let's have some questions, really just to share some of your experiences with the experience.
00:23:12So, could you share with us what you gained from being part of this program?
00:23:16And also, explain to the audience what has changed for you since you joined the Green 20 program?
00:23:26Please, yes.
00:23:27Hello, everybody.
00:23:29This program is very interesting because it's a lot of visibility and it's very important for a startup to have
00:23:36visibility for investors, corporate or institutional.
00:23:39And if we are in stage today, it's thanks to this program and the French Tech, so thank you so
00:23:47much.
00:23:49So, of course, it's a fantastic recognition for a company like Kairos.
00:23:58So, of course, Green Tech 20 is a great label and, of course, we gain visibility as well.
00:24:04So, more than this, this program is a combination of both, of course, a community of Green Company, but also
00:24:18a very active and efficient team.
00:24:20So, thanks to Nassim and Mathieu, who helped us to navigate inside the French administration and find us the right
00:24:31contacts and good opportunities and, of course, plenty of interesting initiatives.
00:24:39So, since we joined the program, as a result, we have found new investors and been able to maintain our
00:24:47research and development level on top and top.
00:24:50of environmental topics, like greenhouse gas emissions and fight against deforestation.
00:24:58Okay, thank you.
00:24:59Thank you both.
00:25:00Could you, actually, I'm just very curious, which one of you are Kairos and which is Lactips?
00:25:06Kairos?
00:25:06No, Lactips.
00:25:07Lactips and Kairos.
00:25:08Could you just tell me, just in 30 seconds, what your solutions are?
00:25:12Just, I think, for the audience, just to know what you're doing.
00:25:14Okay, Lactips, we do thermoplastic with protein.
00:25:20Milk protein and other ingredients, vegetal ingredients, and it's a raw material for all plastic industries.
00:25:29It's water-soluble plastic, and we can do all plastics necessary.
00:25:40And, for example, we can use our pellets as coating on paper, and with this kind of coating, the paper
00:25:51is totally recyclable, and without microplastic in the ocean.
00:25:56We can use our pellets for injection, and with this kind of product, if we can have a product, if
00:26:13it's in the environment, there are no impact on the soil or the ocean.
00:26:23It's totally biodegradable, marine biodegradable, and home compost.
00:26:28Okay, so biodegradable plastic applications, which we need, right?
00:26:31We really need this.
00:26:32Okay.
00:26:32Yes.
00:26:32So, thank you.
00:26:33Yes.
00:26:34So, at Kairos, we are fusing data satellites around assets all around the world.
00:26:43So, as Mr. Le Maire said, we are monitoring assets everywhere around the world in real time, thanks to satellite
00:26:51data.
00:26:52And we are able to measure many things with satellites, especially greenhouse gas emissions.
00:27:00And so, we can contribute to the decarbonation.
00:27:04I see.
00:27:05So, data analysis, okay, for carbon and greenhouse emissions.
00:27:08Okay, thank you very much.
00:27:09All right.
00:27:09So, I'll get back to the script.
00:27:11Thank you.
00:27:12All right.
00:27:12Here's another question.
00:27:13Could you tell us, according to you, what are the main challenges coming ahead for green tech startups?
00:27:18So, that might be to one of you two to answer.
00:27:21Yeah.
00:27:22Maybe to reiterate what was said this morning, it was extremely important for us, I think, both at the Ministry
00:27:28of Ecological Transition and the Mission French Tech, to launch a program dedicated to green tech.
00:27:35Because this issue is so urgent and needs so radical innovation that we have to take our responsibility to help
00:27:43companies like yours navigate so that we can scale and become the first ecosystem.
00:27:48In Europe, but most importantly, we can really change the way that citizens, the way that companies, the way that
00:27:55the world basically interact with its environment to find solution for this ecological transition.
00:28:01So, what are the challenges facing you today?
00:28:04I mean, probably quite a few.
00:28:06I think this issue is accelerating.
00:28:08It's probably a good thing because more and more people are aware that this is a challenge that is a
00:28:15challenge of today, not a challenge of tomorrow, a challenge of today.
00:28:19So, this will for sure give you more power to respond, to attract talent.
00:28:23I know talent is the big thing everyone is looking for in the startup environment.
00:28:29You have the ability to attract those talents because they want to work for solutions like yours.
00:28:34So, that's probably an opportunity for you.
00:28:36But, of course, I think the challenge will remain the same for the whole sector is how do we scale?
00:28:41How do we make sure that those amazing solutions, like you mentioned this morning, Kero's solution is recognized in the
00:28:50U.S.
00:28:50as the only one solution being able to do what they do?
00:28:54And how do we make sure we can scale those solutions at an international level so we can help solve
00:28:59this problem for the greatest number of people?
00:29:04Please, Thomas.
00:29:04Yes, I would like to congratulate Pauline and Julia, Kero's and LikeTips because your last year was a wonderful year,
00:29:15both in terms of turnover and ecological impact.
00:29:19So, developing a cutting-edge ecosystem in France, it is both a prerequisite and an obligation.
00:29:28A prerequisite to remain among the leaders of innovation, and an obligation to achieve the carbon neutrality by 2050.
00:29:44And LikeTips and Kero's are wonderful examples because you provide breakthrough technology, genuine breakthrough technology we need.
00:29:56And also, you are deploying with a large scale your innovation, and we also need a green tech innovation who
00:30:08could be implemented in all the country and rapidly.
00:30:12And you are two great examples of these needs for the French innovation.
00:30:19Thank you.
00:30:20Thank you, both of you.
00:30:20All right, let's have another question.
00:30:21Could you tell us, according to you, what are the main challenges coming ahead for green startups?
00:30:27Main challenges?
00:30:29For main challenges, it's for LikeTips, but I think it's the same for other green startups, green tech startups.
00:30:41It's to work with end users and brands.
00:30:46It's very important.
00:30:47It's important to raise funds to develop the technology and the scale-up, but the most important thing is to
00:30:53make money and to have a turnover, a high turnover.
00:30:58And we need to work with big players to work, to co-develop this technology.
00:31:07We can do this alone.
00:31:08We are small, they are big, and we need their help, and it's important to work.
00:31:15And this program and the French Tech, it's a big opportunity to work with this kind of actor.
00:31:28It's very important.
00:31:29Thank you.
00:31:31So, for me, it's a double challenge.
00:31:36So, for the green tech startups, we have to convince the players to build a new world, which is completely
00:31:45different, but also with completely new distributed technologies.
00:31:49So, we have to explain to them what are these technologies, and then to convince them to act.
00:31:54So, it's actually a double challenge.
00:31:56So, adoption is the key word, you know.
00:31:58So, there is urgency, as it has been said.
00:32:02And so, we have the technology to eliminate the equivalent of all emissions of France and Germany.
00:32:09But today, what happens is that players are still evaluating the technology in an old way.
00:32:16That's very simple.
00:32:17Okay, great.
00:32:18Thank you.
00:32:19Thank you.
00:32:19All right.
00:32:20One more question to all of you.
00:32:22This is your second edition.
00:32:23What can the Green 20 program bring for you next year?
00:32:29Ask for the companies, and then we'll try to make it happen.
00:32:34What can we bring to you?
00:32:39This second edition is a big occasion to go through what we do in the last edition,
00:32:46and work with all the teams, with Nassim and the French Tech team, to, I don't know how I can
00:32:56explain that, to work hard and complete the first step during the previous year.
00:33:10So, for us, the second edition will allow us to allow us to make it concrete, you know, to accelerate
00:33:20our commercial deployment, and especially our methane and CO2 monitoring solutions, as well as a fight against deforestation solutions.
00:33:31So, our technology, we're talking about one gigaton of CO2 equivalent to be saved, so government will play a key
00:33:41role, as has been said.
00:33:43So, it's an opportunity for France and for Europe to be on the edge of the solution.
00:33:50Okay, great.
00:33:51Just a question for me.
00:33:53So, where is this taking place?
00:33:55I mean, is there a...
00:33:57Are you meeting at a particular place, like Station F, for example?
00:34:02So, maybe to give a bit more insights on how the program works.
00:34:05Yeah.
00:34:06So, and we'll have a chance to talk with one of the members of our jury in a minute.
00:34:12The Ministry of Ecological Transition and the French Tech Mission come together to create this program, and they select 20
00:34:21of the top companies in France working on concrete solutions for the ecological transition, with really the ability, the power
00:34:29to scale.
00:34:29Well, we're really looking for companies that are the leaders, that are going to be the green unicorns of tomorrow,
00:34:36like EcoVadis, who was announced as a 27th unicorn yesterday.
00:34:41And how it works, we have a combined network of opportunities for the startups.
00:34:48First and foremost, through a dedicated account manager, who you've both cited quite a few times.
00:34:56I think he's over there, Nassim.
00:34:59So, Nassim is helping all those companies really building bridges between the state, the administration, and their business, and making
00:35:07sure we can simplify everything they have to go through regarding administrative hustles.
00:35:13We obviously also give them opportunities in terms of visibility, as you mentioned, so bring them on VivaTech, but also
00:35:21we are presenting a lot of different conferences throughout the year, the CS of Las Vegas, Web Summit, but also
00:35:29simply when a minister comes around and goes travel somewhere,
00:35:32where we make sure some of those companies can go with them, if it's interesting for them commercially, and we
00:35:38help them connect with the right people within the state to accelerate on regulation.
00:35:44Great. Thank you for that explanation. Thank you. Thank you, Clara.
00:35:47All right. We've got a couple more minutes.
00:35:52When it comes to green tech evolution, where's the really important space?
00:35:57What's the tech that people really, really need to be working on right now in 2022?
00:36:02Is there something that really stands out?
00:36:05I'll let you pitch for your own field.
00:36:12I'm just improvising here, Brune.
00:36:15Could you please repeat the question, please?
00:36:17So, with regards to all of the solutions that we've been working on with green tech,
00:36:21what's the one thing that we really, really need to be working on in green technology?
00:36:26What's the magic thing that we really need to be working on?
00:36:30There are many technologies that have to be implemented, you know, so it's very difficult to preach for our own.
00:36:39But, no, I would say that today, you know, the support of government is absolutely key,
00:36:46because, you know, the energy transition, for instance, is something which has to be monitored by the government.
00:36:58So, the transition of energy?
00:37:00Absolutely.
00:37:00Okay.
00:37:01I think it's important, as we discussed a little bit earlier,
00:37:08that we think of green tech as a sector that can help both consumer-changing habits,
00:37:14because we know this is one of the prerequisites.
00:37:17So, I mentioned BlaBlaCar earlier.
00:37:19You could also mention back market for refurbished phones or electronics.
00:37:24You have all those bunch of startups who are basically helping us changing the way we consume,
00:37:30helping us changing the way we move around,
00:37:33helping us thinking differently about all of those issues.
00:37:36And you have, on the other hand, all the startups like those two looking at finding really deep tech technologies,
00:37:43so that we can move forward when it comes to thinking about energy, decarbonation of the industry,
00:37:50all those sectors that you can think of that are all so critical,
00:37:54because everything will need to change.
00:37:56I don't think we can say, oh, if we fix the energy, then we're done.
00:38:01Unfortunately, no.
00:38:02So, that's why we have so many various startups in the Green 20.
00:38:06And I think we'll have a chance to go back on this in a minute.
00:38:09And to answer your question, I would like to add the topic of the use of the data.
00:38:16In our opinion, using the data, not only for the pure player of data,
00:38:22is a crucial action to help all the green tech to be more efficient.
00:38:29It's really a powerful level.
00:38:32And we also want, within the framework of this program, of this tailor-made program to support startups,
00:38:40we also want to accelerate on the use of data by the green tech.
00:38:46Okay.
00:38:47All right.
00:38:47Good.
00:38:48That's interesting.
00:38:48And actually, just to hear the mention of back market,
00:38:52I remember I coached these two guys eight years ago, and they were just two guys, right?
00:38:56Today, they're absolutely huge.
00:38:58They're now valued 5 billion euros.
00:39:015 billion euros.
00:39:02Amazing.
00:39:03Okay.
00:39:03So, thank you very much to everyone.
00:39:06I know that some of you are staying and some of you are leaving.
00:39:09So, congratulations again for the selection and what you do every day.
00:39:15So, I'd like to have an insight now from the jury members.
00:39:18So, please help me to welcome on stage Benoist Gossman and Eurasio and Carol Gettien from CNRS.
00:39:28All right.
00:39:30Is she sick?
00:39:31Okay.
00:39:31You're going to stay?
00:39:32Yeah.
00:39:32Unfortunately, Carol is sick today.
00:39:35So, she won't be able to join us because we don't want to have anyone take any risk.
00:39:41But we have Benoist, so we're in good hands.
00:39:44Hello.
00:39:44Hello.
00:39:45Welcome, Benoist.
00:39:45Okay.
00:39:47Let's have a question.
00:39:48So, first of all, could you tell us a bit more about the selection process?
00:39:52And what do you think of the companies interviewed?
00:39:55So, it was quite a hard process because we finally selected 20 companies out of more than 200.
00:40:03So, it's always like a very hard choice to do.
00:40:06So, first of all, I was quite impressed by the quality of entrepreneur.
00:40:10You know what makes the value of a company, especially at this stage of development, is like 99% is
00:40:17done by the quality of entrepreneur.
00:40:18So, I was really impressed by the quality of the entrepreneur.
00:40:21Very talented people, dynamic people.
00:40:23They know what they want to do.
00:40:25They want to change the world.
00:40:26They have a strong technology.
00:40:28So, it was a hard choice, but we finally made it.
00:40:31We spent quite a lot of time with all these companies, and hopefully, we made the right choice.
00:40:37Great.
00:40:38All right.
00:40:38So, what was the criteria?
00:40:40Sorry.
00:40:40What criteria was determined for you then?
00:40:43So, first of all, as always, the quality of entrepreneur was a key criteria.
00:40:48And then we just wanted to make sure that these entrepreneurs have a strong vision of what they want to
00:40:55do.
00:40:55They develop a strong technology, proprietary technology, and that this technology can scale to become an industrial startup.
00:41:05You know, we don't want to have companies with good ideas, which is not scalable.
00:41:12Right.
00:41:13It's kind of obvious, but it happens sometimes that technology cannot be scalable.
00:41:18So, it was a quick criteria.
00:41:19Is there something that you're really looking for in the very beginning when they first pitch?
00:41:23It's like the one thing.
00:41:24Is it scalable?
00:41:24Is it scalable?
00:41:25Is it scalable?
00:41:26Exactly.
00:41:26Yeah.
00:41:26Okay.
00:41:27Okay.
00:41:28Good.
00:41:28Maybe to give some insights on how we put the jury together because, as Benoît mentioned, it's quite a big
00:41:35challenge to find those 20 companies because there are so many great companies in this field.
00:41:40You have to assess the technology.
00:41:43Is it a good technology?
00:41:44You have to assess the scalability, the talent of the entrepreneur.
00:41:48All those criteria has kind of come together to help us define, oh, where are the top 20?
00:41:54We don't have a say in this process.
00:41:56It's really the jury that is coming up with the decision.
00:42:03And so, we try to put together, and Benoît is here to represent the investment world, but put together a
00:42:09bit of all the different dimensions of this ecosystem.
00:42:11So, Benoît for the investment with Zero Zero.
00:42:15Carol was not here for the research, CNRS.
00:42:19Former green tech entrepreneurs or entrepreneurs who have already scaled who are able to help us assess what is the
00:42:27process of being a green entrepreneur, trying to scale something like an industrial technology.
00:42:32Is it feasible?
00:42:33Is it not feasible?
00:42:34Yeah.
00:42:35So, really bringing all those expertise so that everyone can add one insight and so that we can come up
00:42:42with the best selection possible.
00:42:43Okay.
00:42:44Dream team.
00:42:44And I would like to highlight the criteria of the anchoring on a territory within the 1,800 green tech
00:42:56that the minister mentioned, 70% are not located in Paris region.
00:43:01So, it's very important, and the jury managed to propose a promotion which is representative of the French green tech.
00:43:13So, 70% are outside of the Paris region?
00:43:16Yes.
00:43:16Okay.
00:43:17Every corner of France?
00:43:18And inside the 22 winners, we have 10 French regions which are represented, which is very good.
00:43:28Okay, great.
00:43:29All right.
00:43:30Another question.
00:43:31So, this is a long one.
00:43:33Now, we would like to know more about the different companies that are part of this class of 2022 of
00:43:38the French Tech Green 20.
00:43:40So, let's talk about them a little bit more.
00:43:43I understand that they bring different solutions, types of solutions, and evolve in different...
00:43:50Okay, I don't know what that word is.
00:43:52Different ways.
00:43:55So, what's the question?
00:43:58There are different types of solutions which are evolving, right?
00:44:03Anything to say on that?
00:44:05What type of sectors did you encounter?
00:44:07What was the sector that made you the most excited?
00:44:10Why?
00:44:11Well, I like most of the sector, but I really, first of all, do like the entrepreneurs.
00:44:16So, first, I like the entrepreneur, and then I like the sector.
00:44:20I do it this way and not the other way.
00:44:22Okay.
00:44:22Yeah.
00:44:24So, can you repeat that so you do...
00:44:29Can you repeat that again, sorry?
00:44:30Criterion number one is the quality of entrepreneur.
00:44:32Ah, okay.
00:44:33So, it's kind of abuse, but you have always to remind this when you do make investments, especially at this
00:44:39stage of development of this company.
00:44:43Yeah, yeah.
00:44:44Okay.
00:44:45Actually, I want to follow up with something.
00:44:47Because, for me, in my experience of watching pictures, I've watched a hell of a lot of pictures over the
00:44:50last 10, 15 years.
00:44:51How important is the team?
00:44:53How important are the people?
00:44:56You might have a great idea, but if, for example, they're going to explode after six months, how do you
00:45:01know that these people are going to last?
00:45:04It's a tough question.
00:45:06Yeah.
00:45:07You know, for me, investing in the companies, investing with founders is like when you recruit someone.
00:45:13Yeah.
00:45:14Even if you are used to it, you're recruiting so many people, sometimes you can have like, in all the
00:45:19casting, you saw the people was a top person, and it happens to be not the right person.
00:45:24So, also, what can happen sometime in the founder, when there is like two or three founders that can fight
00:45:31each other after six months, one year, two years, it happens quite often.
00:45:34Right.
00:45:35It's very hard to detect.
00:45:36Yeah.
00:45:37And when you detect it, it's just too late.
00:45:40Okay.
00:45:42Interesting.
00:45:42There you go.
00:45:44You need to invest in a startup crystal ball.
00:45:47Exactly.
00:45:48That would be great.
00:45:49All right.
00:45:50We have now on screen all the laureates of the Green 20, class of 2022.
00:45:56So, to give you a sense of the variety of startups and the variety of sectors that are represented, because
00:46:01it all came on stage a little bit earlier, but it was quite brief.
00:46:05I don't know if we have still some of the new laureates, but to start, so our first sector is
00:46:14on low environmental impact materials.
00:46:17And we have six or seven companies who are innovating in this field.
00:46:23So, if some of you are still around, and I think of BFC, like tips, we have you already.
00:46:31We just had you just before.
00:46:35Lixo, Matterup, you're all on the screen.
00:46:37Rosie, if some of you are here and want to say a few words about why is this sector and
00:46:43why you think this is really important, that would be great.
00:46:46Great. Thank you for volunteering.
00:46:49Yes.
00:46:53Great.
00:46:56Working?
00:46:58Working.
00:46:59Hi.
00:47:00So, my name is Marjorie.
00:47:01I'm the CEO and co-founder at Lixo.
00:47:04So, we're one of the youngest companies in the selection.
00:47:08We're really happy about it.
00:47:09We were founded just before the COVID hit.
00:47:12So, it was hard, especially for an industrial company.
00:47:16We work in the waste management industry.
00:47:19And basically, our ultimate goal is to make recycled materials compete with virgin materials, both in terms of price and
00:47:28quality.
00:47:29The way we do that is we provide tools to the entire value chain, to the entire cycle, really, so
00:47:36that they can trace, they can valorize waste to know exactly how much it's worth.
00:47:41So, why do we think this is important?
00:47:44Well, of course, circularity, well, it's just obvious.
00:47:48We are lacking virgin materials.
00:47:51We don't want to exploit virgin materials anymore.
00:47:55So, using what already exists is just obvious.
00:47:58And that's what we're trying to do, together with all the amazing companies that are around us in this election.
00:48:04It's the same principle as, like, tips they were explaining a little bit earlier.
00:48:08How do we use materials that is already here to create new materials?
00:48:12Yeah, and materials, but also, obviously, objects.
00:48:16Because materials is kind of easy because, you know, it hasn't been transformed yet.
00:48:21What's really hard is to use stuff that's already built, that's already complex.
00:48:26Can you give us an example?
00:48:29I guess, well, plastic is a good example.
00:48:33Okay, but like plastic in an object that's being prefabricated, like in a microwave?
00:48:38Well, if you take a bottle of plastic, take a bottle of mineral water, whatever brand it is, it's no
00:48:46longer virgin material.
00:48:47It's already an object.
00:48:49So, it cannot be reused as such.
00:48:52It has to be decomposed, it has to be merged with a little bit of virgin materials, some ways of
00:48:58transformation to become pellets, so small flakes of plastics, to use that, again, as raw material.
00:49:08So, how do you, you know, start from the object, make it, well, make sure that it's usable, make sure
00:49:14that it wasn't spoiled or contaminated in any way, and then make it useful again.
00:49:21And can this be any plastic, or are there some plastics which are...
00:49:25No, but that's the really hard thing about polymers, is that, well, you cannot really do plastic with any plastic.
00:49:34So, polypropylene doesn't work with polyethylene and that sort of thing, so it's extremely complex.
00:49:40There are amazing companies working on that.
00:49:42Carbios is one of them.
00:49:44They're working on how to de-polymerize, de-polymer, well, anyway, go from a polymer to a monomer.
00:49:53It's extremely hard to do, and, well, the entire industry is changing around that, to be honest.
00:50:00Thank you so much.
00:50:01Well, thank you very much.
00:50:02We will move to the next sector.
00:50:04For sure.
00:50:05Thanks.
00:50:06Thank you.
00:50:07All right, well, we have four minutes left.
00:50:10So, the next...
00:50:10I'm just going to go through all the sectors with the companies.
00:50:13Please.
00:50:14Thank you, and I think we're going to give a big round of applause.
00:50:18Yeah.
00:50:21So, the second sector is how we accelerate the emergence of a sustainable and resilient city model.
00:50:27We all know we have to change the way we live in the cities.
00:50:31We have to think about living differently, and so we have two companies, Neymar and Silfen, in this category.
00:50:39Is one of you two here?
00:50:42Yes.
00:50:43Thank you.
00:50:47So, we're going to ask you the same question, I think.
00:50:50Hi.
00:50:51Thanks for coming.
00:50:52Thanks a lot.
00:50:54So, okay.
00:50:56Maybe you can just explain.
00:50:58Just tell us, in 30 seconds, what you're doing.
00:51:00One word about Silfen.
00:51:01We are a technological and industrial company in the field of hydrogen, and we use hydrogen to help building owners
00:51:10to achieve their energy transition.
00:51:11We can produce energy on the buildings.
00:51:14Most of our time, we are in buildings, and we use energy within buildings.
00:51:19Now, we charge also electric cars at the buildings.
00:51:21And so, there is some kind of missing block in the energy transition, is how we can really harvest and
00:51:27handle all the local renewable energy to use it when we need it.
00:51:32And associating battery and hydrogen, plus a lot of software, makes it possible to power districts, buildings, industries with local
00:51:42renewable energy.
00:51:43Okay, so heating buildings, using power transition from away from fossil fuels.
00:51:48Yeah.
00:51:48Okay.
00:51:49That's really important stuff.
00:51:50Why is it the most important sector for the ecological transition?
00:51:54Yeah, and it's quite new.
00:51:56The technology enables to do that now.
00:51:59And it's also a new sector, as seen from the hydrogen industry, that was very focused on the mobility, very
00:52:07focused on the large-scale industry.
00:52:09And now, we can really have the hydrogen enter also the decarbonization of the building sector and the cities.
00:52:15Wow.
00:52:16Thank you.
00:52:16Okay.
00:52:17Thank you.
00:52:17Thank you so much.
00:52:25As the next sector, how we can build a low-carbon industry.
00:52:29I think the minister really insisted on this.
00:52:32It's not industry on the one hand and tech on the other hand.
00:52:36Everything has to work together, especially when it comes to how do we transform the way we build industry of
00:52:42the future.
00:52:43How do we make sure it's low-carbon from the get-go?
00:52:46So, we have four companies.
00:52:48Metron, Neolis, Kairos, who was already here on stage just a few minutes ago.
00:52:53Is one of you volunteering and here?
00:52:58Who is not Kairos?
00:53:00I love Kairos, but we already had you before.
00:53:06Great.
00:53:06Thank you.
00:53:07Do you want to tell us a bit more?
00:53:08Yeah, please.
00:53:09So, maybe I can introduce Metron.
00:53:11So, we are a software company helping industries to have better energy performances.
00:53:19So, we have Salesforce just here.
00:53:21So, maybe we can say that we would love to be the Salesforce of decarbonization.
00:53:26Our Salesforce is for sales guys.
00:53:30What do we do?
00:53:31We help to optimize in-depth industrial processes.
00:53:36So, we really enter in all processes, helping forecasting or consumptions, optimizing on a day-to-day basis on a
00:53:43live way of operating.
00:53:45And we also help to aggregate all this information to monitor on a corporate side to help groups identify best
00:53:54practices, spread them all around the groups to be sure that they're working all together all around the world in
00:54:00all units they can have and getting better performances in all teams.
00:54:04Okay.
00:54:05So, you're talking about data?
00:54:06Sorry?
00:54:07You're talking about data?
00:54:08Yeah.
00:54:09Okay.
00:54:09And you're using artificial intelligence?
00:54:12Perhaps you could explain us how?
00:54:14Yes, we are using artificial intelligence, but it's just the way we are doing things, not what we want to
00:54:20do.
00:54:21I mean, sometimes we don't need, we just have to make monitoring and it's efficient enough.
00:54:28And sometimes we have to enter in in-depth analysis.
00:54:30We have an ontology basis of AI, which have like a library of hundreds of optimizations for industrial processes that
00:54:42we can reanalyze and that can build and propose all the time optimization to operational guides on the ground.
00:54:50Okay, so basically streamlining, streamlining all processes and the way that industrial complexes are running.
00:54:57Yes, optimizing sequencing, optimizing all the context of the process, not only the energy side.
00:55:03Okay, thank you.
00:55:04So, we wish you to go meet Salesforce and tell them about your ambition.
00:55:09Hopefully.
00:55:10Thank you so much.
00:55:12Thank you.
00:55:12Thank you.
00:55:17And we talked a lot about energy.
00:55:20So, obviously, last but not least, the renewable low-carbon energy sector with companies like Aeolique, Ecilab, GME, Tryon, or
00:55:28Wagga Energy.
00:55:31Thank you for volunteering.
00:55:34Thank you.
00:55:36Welcome.
00:55:36So, yes, tell us a little bit about what it is that you're doing.
00:55:39Yeah, sure.
00:55:40Please.
00:55:40Hi, Ecilab is the French champion based in Exxon-Provence.
00:55:43Ah, we have no microphone?
00:55:44This one?
00:55:44I don't know why.
00:55:46Okay, good.
00:55:46We can hear you.
00:55:47That's good.
00:55:48So, Hi, Ecilab is the French champion based in Exxon-Provence of the hydrogen transportation and storage solutions.
00:55:55So, we developed a breakthrough innovation to encapsulate the gaseous hydrogen into a liquid, stable, non-toxic, non-polluting, with
00:56:07zero emission supply chain.
00:56:08Wow.
00:56:09And we are dividing by seven the gaseous hydrogen into the liquid solution.
00:56:14Thus, we are revolutioning the transportation of the low-cost green hydrogen from Chile to the port of Amsterdam.
00:56:22And we are the excellent solution to decarbonize the maritime sector because we can store the hydrogen with the hydrozyl,
00:56:30the molecule, and then relax the green hydrogen in the board.
00:56:35So, with only using water, we need no energy to relax the hydrogen.
00:56:39Okay, so it's hydrogen, which is liquefied, which then can be transported.
00:56:45Exactly.
00:56:46But it's primarily to be used in the maritime sector, so we're talking about the big freight ships.
00:56:50Exactly.
00:56:51So, people can continue ordering from Amazon and not worry about the destroying planet.
00:56:54It is a massive market.
00:56:56Yeah, right.
00:56:5774 billion euros.
00:56:58And you know that the International Maritime Organization is willing to decarbonize by 2050 and starting 2030, all the maritime
00:57:06sector.
00:57:07Yeah, that's huge.
00:57:08Okay, thank you.
00:57:09Thank you.
00:57:09Congrats.
00:57:10Sounds exciting.
00:57:12Thank you so much.
00:57:17And I'm sorry I say it was last but not least, but we still have one, about clean mobility.
00:57:23So, as we know, this is going to be one of the big stakes to change the way we move
00:57:30around, to change the way we behave.
00:57:32We have to invent new ways of moving around, clean ways of moving around.
00:57:35And so, we have three startups in this one, Beyond Aero, Gouache, Phoenix, Foursery, and Talano.
00:57:42You want to come?
00:57:47Hi, thank you very much for having me.
00:57:49Super happy to be here with you.
00:57:51Which company are you, sorry?
00:57:52Oh, sorry.
00:57:53So, I'm Antoine, and I'm one of the co-founders of Phoenix Mobility.
00:57:56So, basically, we convert existing vehicles to 100% electric vehicles, which is twice cheaper and really better for the
00:58:03planet,
00:58:03because we are in a circular economy dynamic.
00:58:06How do you do that?
00:58:08So, actually, the process is super easy, but the truth is it's kind of hard behind the curtains.
00:58:14So, we remove every fossil fuel component inside of the vehicle, so the motors, the gas tank, all that kind
00:58:20of stuff.
00:58:21I'm not the engineer in the group, in the team, but I can explain this, at least.
00:58:26But you're talking about, like, reconverting all the cars?
00:58:29Yeah, so, basically, we can convert all cars on the market, but for now, we focus only on utility vehicles
00:58:36for B2B clients.
00:58:38Because I've got a Mini Cooper 2005, which could do with this, right?
00:58:41Exactly.
00:58:41You know, fossil fuel vehicle will be forbidden in 2035.
00:58:45You're not really attached to that car, right?
00:58:47I don't want to throw it out.
00:58:48So, yeah, I completely agree.
00:58:50But it depends on the vehicle that you have, so maybe it's going to be more difficult.
00:58:54But when you look at it, fossil fuel vehicle will be forbidden in France, actually, before 2035.
00:59:01And there is no way traditional manufacturers will reach this gap without innovation, without new startups.
00:59:05And we want to contribute to this, to making mobility cleaner and more accessible to everyone.
00:59:11That's amazing.
00:59:12Thank you.
00:59:12Thank you so much.
00:59:13Thanks a lot.
00:59:14Thank you.
00:59:15All right.
00:59:18So, maybe on our last slide this time.
00:59:22So, congratulations again to all the laureates of this class of 2022.
00:59:26I think you can see you asked us what is the most important sector.
00:59:30It's absolutely impossible to pick because we need all of you to basically change everything we do.
00:59:36And we're really, really proud to have such a great class this year.
00:59:41Congratulations again.
00:59:45Thank you, everyone, for joining us, being present, and finding out more about this wonderful initiative.
00:59:52Thank you, everyone, for being here and answering the questions.
00:59:57We will now take a break, and we'll be back at 1.15, I believe.
01:00:01Thank you.
