Why Luminedge ?
"Despite their transformative potential, 60% of deeptech innovations never reach the market. Co-founded by iXcampus and the Institut d'Optique, with the support of HEC Paris, LuminEdge was designed to overcome the technological, industrial, and commercial barriers specific to these disruptive sectors."
LuminEdge Startups
What if you joined the adventure?
For Whom
The program is open to all registered startups whose ambition is to develop a hardware technology solution in the fields of photonics, quantum technology, or nanotechnology. Your technology project must have a minimum maturity of TRL 3, and you would like to be supported in your prototyping or industrialization phase.
How it works
LuminEdge is a 24-month, tailor-made support program. You'll join a cohort of around ten projects that share the same technological and business challenges. After a diagnostic phase and possibly specific entrepreneurship support with our partner Deeptech Founders, you'll benefit from personalized support without masterclasses or e-learning! Our teams regularly review your progress and act as facilitators, giving you access to the program's resources (on-demand expert pool, mentoring, financing, technical platforms, etc.).
Apply
The application process is online and takes just a few minutes. If your project catches our attention, you'll meet with the program teams and join the next cohort next September. Since the LuminEdge program is funded by a France 2030 project, startups are not required to apply.
