The Paris-Saclay ecosystem


  • The Paris-Saclay ecosystem is ranked among the top 8 innovation clusters in the world (MIT ranking)
  • It hosts nearly 500 start-ups, 2/3 of which are Deep Tech start-ups.
  • It covers the territory ofEssonne and Yvelines, including 3 communities of agglomerations and the city of Evry.
  • This exceptional scientific and technological cluster brings together universities(Paris-Saclay, Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines and Evry-Val-d’Essonne), research institutes(CNRS, INRAE, CEA, AgroParisTech, INRIA, etc.) and internationally recognized industrial players of excellence
  • The high concentration of these quality players makes it a very attractive territory for Deep Tech start-ups, especially for the key sectors of the territory (aeronautics-defence-security, future mobility, health-biotech, ICT, new energies)

The Deep Tech Factory Network project aims to boost the establishment of Deep Tech start-ups in the Paris Saclay area


  • The Deeptech Factory Network project aims to boost Paris-Saclay start-ups in the pre-industrialization phase by facilitating their access to accommodation, equipment and skills from major companies/ITs, institutions and start-ups in the area.
  • Different matchmaking models to boost the pre-industrialization phases have been selected:


Valorization of the Paris-Saclay innovation ecosystem and duplication in other ecosystems


  • This project will aim to highlight the players in theecosystem (major accounts/ITCs, institutions) who provide accommodation, equipment or expertise through a label
  • This matchmaking program will facilitateopen innovation and thus partnerships between start-ups and players in the research and innovation ecosystem
  • This project was developed according to the specificities of the Paris Saclay territory, but adjustments could allow for duplication and universality for other territories that have Deep Tech start-ups

French Tech Paris-Saclay, the central connector of the ecosystem for this project


French Tech Paris-Saclay, in collaboration with the actors of the ecosystem (communities of agglomeration, incubators, etc.) will aim to :

  • Facilitate and animate the “ I’ll start-upper at your place “, ” Tech it easy ” and ” Start-up zone ” programs
  • Centralize requests and offers for accommodation, equipment and expertise
  • Set up a welcome kit
  • To set up and manage a digital platform centralizing requests and offers of accommodation, equipment and expertise, as well as information on settling in the Paris-Saclay area
  • Helping start-ups to identify funding (territorial, revitalization, private, etc.) to have access to accommodation, equipment or expertise
