Centrale Nantes, Audencia and Nantes University share the conviction that sustainable innovation emerges at the juncture of different disciplines. Building on this multidisciplinary collaboration, which began in 2013, the incubator has created and maintained, thanks to its proximity to research laboratories and the expertise of its faculty and alumni network, an environment of innovation where entrepreneurs from diverse backgrounds meet, reflect and share ideas to create innovations with high added value for society: a fertile environment that has enabled the launch of more than 170 projects, the creation of 140 innovative companies and more than 1,300 jobs. In 2025, Nantes University joined the incubator's governance, strengthening its deep tech positioning and its openness to new scientific fields with a shared vision: to innovate by drawing on the richness of our academic and scientific ecosystems.
The incubator offers a dedicated work space, a support programme to develop key entrepreneurial skills and contact with a network of entrepreneurs and alumni of the three establishments.
