VC | Inria Startup Studio - Deeptech Venture design partner & program manager
Mar 2025
World-leading research and technological innovation are an integral part of its DNA. Inrias 3,500 researchers and engineers put their passion for digital technology to work in nearly 200 project teams, most of which are joint teams with our academic partners, including major research universities and the CNRS. They explore new fields, often in collaboration with different disciplines and industrial partners, with the aim of meeting ambitious challenges. As a technology institute, Inria supports the development of numerous software products, sometimes making a global impact via the opensource model. Because technology start-ups are powerful channels for research outcomes, Inria also supports entrepreneurial risk-taking and start-up creation (Deeptech). Firmly established on major university campuses and in industrial ecosystems, the Institute is at the heart of the digital revolution.

𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐑𝐄𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐔𝐑 𝐀𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐑 Inria Startup Studio gives project owners all the cards to start creating a digital Deeptech startup. 𝐖𝐇𝐎 𝐈𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐔𝐏 𝐒𝐓𝐔𝐃𝐈𝐎 𝐅𝐎𝐑? Many profiles can benefit from the Inria Startup Studio program: doctoral students, postdoctoral fellows, interns, engineers or researchers employed by Inria (permanent or not), employees of other French research partner institutions, project leaders (with a technology) outside Inria. A project may be carried by one or more people, but the team must include at least one scientist (researcher or engineer).
