14/9 - Ambitious (re)industrialisation through collaboration : Lessons from the field

In the past months, the ESSEC Deep Tech & Future of Industry chair has been studying how Industrial Startups, whether Deep Tech or not, can contribute to a reindustrialization of our territories.

One important element that has come out of our quantitative and qualitative research is the role of collaboration between industrial startups and larger or existing companies.

I am sending you this email as a personal invitation to join us on 14 September 2026, 18h30 for an informed discussion, fueled by our own insights and those of ecosystem involved in our study to promote and further develop the industrial startup ecosystem in France. We hope you can join us for a fantastic evening, with panel speakers:

• Paul-Francois Fournier, Innovation Director, Bpifrance

• Charline Avenel, Director at Région Ile-de-France, in collaboration with EDF
