Pour une startup, une PME et parfois un grand groupe, la transition d’un prototype fonctionnel vers une première série (pré-série) est une étape cruciale, qui doit être la plus courte et la plus simple possible. Aujourd’hui ce n’est pas le cas, cette étape est longue et complexe. Nous voulons fournir une solution simple et intégrée pour adresser ce problème. Nous voulons redonner l’envie (et les moyens) aux porteurs de projets qui naissent sur notre territoire, de s’y épanouir et s’y établir.
Notre vision: Créer un nouveau type de structure d’accélération en rupture avec le modèle actuel de mise en realtion. La rupture vient du fait que l’accélérateur intègre en son coeur une “usine du futur” comme moteur d’accélération des projets innovants et comme moteur de rentabilité de cette structure basée sur le modèle du “Guichet unique”. Cette structure sera aussi une des vitrines de l’usine du futur. Nous construisons ce que personne n’a jamais construit pour ancrer en France les startups et PME innovantes et industrielles et être une contribution forte à l’effort de ré-industrialisation.
Nous soutenons et contribuons au mouvement de la French Fab.
Notre mIssion : Construire une fédération de ces accélérateurs en France et en Europe.
La durée typisue d’une campagne d’accélération sera en moyenne de 100 jours. Ce n’est pas seulement abitieux mais impossible avec le système actuel. C’est pour cela que nous avons inventés un nouveau type d’accélérateur, aussi innovant que les projets qu’il accélère.
For a startup, an SME and sometimes a large company, the transition from a functional prototype to a first series (pre-series) is a crucial step, which must be as short and simple as possible.
Today this is not the case, this stage is long and complex. We want to provide a simple and integrated solution to address this problem
We must give the desire (and also the means) to the technologies that are growing in our territory to flourish there and thus remain there.
Our vision: Create a new type of accelerator that disrupts the current model. The disruption comes from the fact that the accelerator integrates into its heart a “factory of the future” as an engine of acceleration and as an engine of profitability for the structure and based on the one-stop-shop model. The factory of the future will be also a showcase of the latest technologies.
We are building what no one has never built to anchor the startup and PMEs in France and to ignite re-industrialization.
We are totally in the #FrenchFab dynamic.
Our mission: Build and provide a federation of such hardware accelerators in France and in Europe.
The typical duration of acceleration program will be 100 days. It is not only ambitious but impossible with current systems. this is why we have invented a new type of accelerator, as innovative as the project it will accelerate.

From garage prototype to industrial pre-series
Le coeur de l’accélérateur est une usine du futur.
Cette usine du futur permet de fournir dans un même lieu, sous forme de guichet unique, tous les services du bureau d’études jusqu’à la production d’une présérie industrielle et la mise en place d’un dossier d’industrialisation. Ce modèle intégré permet de réduire les coûts et temps d’études et de production tout en optimisant les interactions entre les porteurs de projets et les experts industriels. Un tel dispositif, qui aujourd’hui n’existe nulle part ailleurs, s’inscrit pleinement en haut de la chaine de valeur de l’innovation. Non seulement il complémente les autres dispositifs de son écosystème environnant (laboratoires, incubateurs, etc) mais il a vocation de devenir un des vecteurs forts de réindustrialisation et de création d’emplois locaux. Le modèle économique repose sur la prise en charge et l’engagement de réalisation de la pré-industrialisation d’un projet, en lien avec la mise à disposition d’espaces pour les équipes porteurs des projets (startups, PM/PMI, grands groupes, universités, etc). Le cœur du dispositif étant une usine, des ressources complémentaires liées à la production pour des tiers ainsi que de la formation viendront augmenter la rentabilité du modèle économique.
L’architecture du bâtiment place l’usine au centre du dspositif permettant un accès immédiat de ses ressources à tous les projets
L’architecture du bâtiment lui-même apporte de l’innovation afin qu’il puisse être agile pour s’adapter à la taille et à l’évolution des projets. Des zones de prototypage et d’assemblage individuelles ainsi qu’un espace mutualisé (4.000 m2 d’usine) permettront à tous les projets d’évoluer de prototypes à de petites séries de leur produit innovant.
Ces services d’accélération seront basés sur une combinaison accessible directe de diverses plates-formes (fabrication additive, électronique, mécanique, CAO, etc.) reposant sur un équipement et des installations haut de gamme pour concevoir, prototyper et produire, le tout sous un même toit, y compris l’hébergement, salle d’exposition et un “théâtre de pitch” pour un redressement rapide.
The heart of the accelerator is a factory of the future.
This factory makes possible to provide in one place, in the form of a one-stop shop, all the services from the design office up to pre-production and study for industrialization. This integrated model reduces costs and time of studies and production while optimizing interactions between project leaders and industry experts. Such an approach, which today does not exist anywhere else, is located at the top of the innovation value chain. It not only complements the other services of its surrounding ecosystem (laboratories, incubators, etc.) but it aims to become one of the strong vectors of reindustrialization and local job creation. The business model is based on the commitment to carry out the pre-industrialization of a project, in connection with the provision of spaces for project teams (startups, SME/SMI, large groups, universities, etc.).The heart is a factory, additional resources related to the production for third parties as well as training will increase the profitability of the business model.
The architecture of the building places the factory in the center of the device allowing immediate access of its resources to all projects
The architecture of the building itself brings innovation so that it can be agile to adapt to the size and evolution of projects. Individual prototyping and assembly areas, as well as a shared space (4,000 m2 of plant), will allow all projects to evolve from prototypes to small series of their innovative product.
These acceleration services will be based on a directly accessible combination of various platforms (additive manufacturing, electronics, mechanics, CAD, etc.) based on high-end equipment and facilities to design, prototyping and producing, all under one roof. the same roof, including accommodation, showroom, and a “pitch theater” for a quick turnaround.
Y: Collaboration
Cooperate with other teams and get the best of the one-stop-shop of services
The future building will allow easy collaboration with common ressources and services. each team can easily collaborate and eventually merge with another team. The building allows each team to evolve easily by adding more space as it grows.
Z: Immersion
You can concentrate on your industrialization. You have everything at your finger tips
The future building will allow you to work on your project industrialization without leaving the building.
third parties offices such as business development or Intellectual property advisors will be at your fingers tips.
XYZ: Everything under the same roof
in a building that conforms to latest environmental regulations.
From a vision of the future to …
The first accelerator
Nous avons choisi Paris-Saclay pour ouvrir leur premier accélérateur : Paris-Saclay Hardware Accelerator « La première usine du futur dédiée à l’accélération des DeepTechs ». En intégrant, en son cœur, un bureau d’études, des lignes de production et des espaces pour les équipes projets, nous humanisons, simplifions, et incluons la dimension industrielle dans le processus d’innovation, et éliminons les contraintes pour passer de la phase de prototypage à l’industrialisation.
