  • Moiz

    Participated · Equity · Sep 2025

    Founded in 2020 out of research conducted at the Institut Néel (CNRS) and incubated by SATT Linksium, Moïz develops energy-harvesting technology that converts waste heat from industrial equipment into electricity for connected sensors. Its devices enable fully autonomous, battery-free monitoring solutions, cutting both environmental impact and installation or maintenance costs for heavy-industry clients such as Rio Tinto, with whom it has worked since 2021. The company’s first generation of sensors targets the digitalisation and decarbonisation of industrial sites by providing reliable data acquisition in harsh environments. With fresh capital, Moïz plans to accelerate the industrialisation of these products, expand international market reach, and advance R&D on silicon-integrated thermal energy recovery technologies. The startup will also strengthen its R&D team through approximately ten new hires over the next twelve months. To date, Moïz has secured €3 million in external funding, including €1.1 million in equity, to finance these growth initiatives.

  • eyeGauge

    Led · Seed · Dec 2023

    eyeGauge, created in February 2020, has developed a data-collection system that captures measurements from vessels without direct digital access to equipment and machinery and links those feeds to its Unified Fleet Data Platform. The platform is positioned to optimise fleet performance by enabling ship-performance measurement, anomaly detection and extended vessel life through non-invasive digitisation of existing sensors. The company was incubated and accelerated at ZEBOX in Marseille and Le Village by CA in Paris, and currently serves maritime clients in Singapore and Europe. eyeGauge recently raised new funding that will be supplemented by public funding. The investment will be used to reinforce R&D, expand the go-to-market team, and further enhance the data collection system. Investors highlight the project’s potential to contribute to decarbonisation by enabling measurement and sharing of ship performance data.
