ENSTA Welcomes You to VIVATECH 2026

Alexandre Chapoutot, a faculty researcher at U2IS and deputy director of operations at LARIAD, will present his work in autonomous robotics on June 17 at the Île-de-France region’s booth (Hall 7.2 D14). There, he will unveil a robot developed at ENSTA capable of navigating autonomously in unstructured environments. This type of research requires field testing, and the Île-de-France region has contributed significantly to funding this work.

Maryline Besnard, Innovation Project Manager and Head of the ENSTARTUPS incubator, will be present at the event on Thursday, June 18, to support the four startups from the ENSTA ecosystem, which will be present at the Institut Polytechnique de Paris booth (Hall 7.3H20).

Founded either by entrepreneurs who completed the “business creation” track within ENSTA’s generalist program or through the ENSTARTUPS incubator, this participation in VIVATECH will provide these startup leaders with an opportunity to meet other entrepreneurs, numerous decision-makers, and over 3,500 investors.
 

ARKANE TECH aims to lighten future avionics systems (reusable space launchers, aircraft, etc.) by replacing their traditional heavy and bulky wired networks with a new, more efficient wireless communication solution between all instruments. Having joined ENSTARTUPS in 2020 and successfully graduated in 2022, the company joined the Village by CA network, where it continues to grow. Since July 2022, it has been a winner of the AI Challenge for Space Transportation with its CEREBRO-NEXT solution.

PLANOR is management and automation software for training organizations. Qualiopi certification is a real game-changer for training organizations, giving them access to public or pooled funding such as the Personal Training Account. But for small organizations, obtaining this certification is akin to a real obstacle course. PLANOR, a startup founded by a student in ENSTA’s personalized business creation support program, has the solution.

VENTURIX is developing an airborne offshore wind turbine integrated into an inflatable balloon to reduce the costs of floating wind power. This is a competitive alternative to traditional offshore wind power that combines technological innovation with industrial sovereignty. The system’s high-altitude position allows it to capture winds that are more consistent and powerful than those at sea level, and its installation cost is significantly lower than that of offshore wind turbines.

We deploy(science) is a platform for the development and deployment of data-driven embedded intelligence. Its expertise is based on creating a faithful mathematical representation of digital twins. This model is a tool that allows for the assimilation of all physical phenomena and operational constraints. By absorbing this complexity, the startup delivers simplified, reliable, and actionable solutions.
