FLYING WHALES is a French company established in 2012 to develop and industrialize a 60 tons Large Capacity Airship. The development of this solution is first to enable the French Forestry Agency to increase large volumes of timber extraction from land-locked areas. This solution, which will offer very low operating cost and almost no environmental impact, also targets the large market of special transportation, and logistics & freight market in the countries with transport infrastructure deficit. This project is supported by the French Government and the Quebec Government.
The company bases its growth on key human values including deep teamwork, boldness and the ambition to contribute significantly to the development of the new world.

More than 50% of energy is consumed in the form of heat and more than a third of the energy consumed is lost as heat (equivalent to 2450 Mt of CO2 per year). Industrialists are keen to reduce their energy consumption to improve their competitiveness and reduce their carbon footprint.
In order to support these manufacturers in their low-carbon transition, Eco-Tech Ceram, a three-time winner of the world innovation competition, is made up of a team of 40 employees (doctors, engineers and technicians) specialising in industrial heat, energy storage, materials, automation and financing engineering. We understand the needs of industry so that we can offer turnkey technical and financial solutions. Manufacturers can now make savings from the first year without having to invest.
Given the size of the market, Eco-Tech Ceram has surrounded itself with public (BPI, Occitanie Region, ADEME) and private (RGREEN, QAIR, JOHES) shareholders capable of supporting ETC over the long term in France and internationally.
The energy and climate challenge is immense, and Eco-Tech Ceram intends to play a major role. To do so, it must successfully transform itself from an innovative SME into a leading ETI in its market (decarbonised energy).

MexBrain développe des dispositifs médicaux capables d’extraire spécifiquement, rapidement et de manière contrôlée des métaux. MexBrain a conçu une plateforme ultrachélatante : des fluides capables d’extraire les métaux associés à des systèmes de dialyse. Ces dispositifs sont spécifiques des métaux ciblés et ont une capacité d’extraction ajustable. Aucun médicament ni produit ne circule directement dans l’organisme, limitant les effets secondaire.
