The Demo Day is a unique moment of inspiration and networking open to venture capital investors, professionals, and experts in construction, mobility infrastructure, energy and real estate. Leonard’s business innovation programs aim to identify solutions to the VINCI Group’s future challenges, with a particular focus this year on climate tech and deep tech.
17 startups present
17 startups from our CATALYST and SEED programs will be there to present their synergies with the VINCI group and the results of six months of acceleration powered by Leonard. You will also have the opportunity to meet the 7 intrapreneurs from VINCI who tackle the most pressing challenges in building a better and greener future for construction, mobility, real estate and energy industries.
Highlights from the program
- 1 panel on how to accelerate deep tech, including materials, robotics and the nuclear industry, with Roger Abou-Khalil, head of Orano Open Innovation and Venture Fund Manager, Romain Roullois, general Manager at France Deeptech, Aurélien Schwartz, CEO and co-founder of Metroscope (the AI solution for the nuclear industry developed as an EDF internal project) and Marine Glon, investment Director at Super Nova Invest.
- 1 panel on electrifying mobility with Pierre Coppey, executive vice-president of VINCI and Chairman of VINCI Autoroutes, and Benoit Lemaignan, CEO of Verkor, the electrical vehicle battery manufacturer that has grown from a startup to a scale-up in three years and has raised the second largest round in Europe last year to build a gigafactory.
This event is open to investors, to VINCI decision-makers and to all professionals and experts in the areas of construction, real estate, mobility and energy interested in searching innovative solutions to address the most pressing challenges in the business.
