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.

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.

MagREEsource develops technology to manufacture permanent magnets from recycled rare-earth materials, offering magnets with a 91% lower carbon footprint compared with magnets from Chinese mining. The company operates a pilot plant in Noyarey that became operational in December 2024 and has a current capacity of 80 tonnes per year. It employs 50 people and uses two core processes that will form the basis of its future large-scale factory. MagREEsource plans a MagFactory targeted to reach 1,000 tonnes per year by 2028 and has been labeled a "Projet Stratégique Européen" under the EU Critical Raw Material Act. The startup aims to build a sovereign, low-carbon supply chain for magnets and to reduce dependence on the Chinese market. Target markets include wind power, aerospace, robotics and defense.
