• Ingage

  Participated · Equity · Sep 2025

  Ingage is a Franco-Italian deep-tech startup commercializing a new generation of MEMS inertial sensors that keep position error below 50 cm even after several minutes of high-speed motion without GPS, vastly outperforming conventional automotive-grade MEMS devices. The technology, protected by 30 patents and stemming from 15 years of joint research between CEA-Leti and Politecnico di Milano, targets autonomous vehicles, drones, industrial robots and defense applications where reliable navigation is mission-critical. With its compact form factor and lower cost compared to traditional aerospace-grade inertial systems, Ingage aims to bridge the gap between consumer MEMS and bulky high-end solutions. The company plans to finalize development of its first sensor range, transfer the technology to high-volume manufacturing partners and expand its team. Additional resources will deepen collaborations with CEA-Leti and Politecnico di Milano to accelerate product industrialization. The €6 million financing represents the company’s first external capital and provides runway to reach large-scale production and initial commercial deployments.

• Stellaria

  Participated · Equity · Jul 2025

  Stellaria is developing the Stellarium, a fourth‑generation molten‑salt fast‑neutron reactor designed to fully regenerate its fuel during operation and be self‑sufficient for more than 20 years. The design aims to reduce long‑lived nuclear waste (minor actinides) and to provide competitive, safe and flexible low‑carbon power for industry and the grid. The company plans a first molten‑salt facility capable of sustaining a fission reaction by 2029 and expects a first production unit ready for commercial deployment by 2035. Funding announced in 2025 is being directed to technical and regulatory studies, the development of a liquid‑core fast‑neutron demonstrator, and R&D acceleration. Stellaria intends to double its workforce to support those efforts and to expand its Grenoble research laboratory by several million euros. The company was founded in 2023 and originates from CEA and Schneider Electric.

• Otrera

  Participated · Equity · Dec 2024

  Otrera develops a sodium-cooled fast-neutron reactor (RNR-Na) design derived from CEA research and adapted with recent industrial advances. Its RNR-Na technology is intended to enable repeated use of reprocessed nuclear fuel, supporting a closed fuel cycle that reduces ultimate waste volumes and lessens the need for natural uranium extraction. With the newly announced €17 million financing—partly from France 2030 and partly from a private round including EDF, ADF, Onet Technologies, Exergon and Normandie Participations—the company is entering an advanced engineering phase. Otrera will use the funds to carry out its Avant-Projet Détaillé (APD), develop test capabilities, hire staff, and structure its supply chain. The company has announced plans to site a future industrial facility near Cherbourg (Manche) to prepare manufacturing and assembly of critical components for serial reactor deployment.

• Blue Capsule Technology

• Quobly

  Participated · Seed · Jul 2023

  Quobly develops silicon-based quantum processors and system-level architectures using FD-SOI technology on 300 mm wafers to enable semiconductor-grade manufacturability and dense integration. Its Alloy product line includes Alloy Pioneer, intended for early adopters in high-performance computing and research, and will be accessible through the cloud in 2026 with deployment into HPC environments planned for 2027. Quobly pairs hardware, control electronics and a software stack including Alloy Forge, its quantum application development environment, to allow developers to build and validate applications under realistic hardware constraints. The company emphasizes industrialization through partnerships with semiconductor and industrial leaders such as STMicroelectronics, Air Liquide, Soitec and Orano. Financially, Quobly completed a €19 million seed phase from 2023–2025 and has now raised a €115 million Series A to fund R&D, scaling of silicon quantum processors and commercial expansion. Its strategy centers on transferring quantum technologies into advanced manufacturing environments to address scalability, yield and reproducibility.
