2024 Star Launcher Bootcamps – MHB
Marie-Hélène Baroux, Managing Director, was present to support the role of the Institute, now recognised as a key player in the innovation ecosystem:
The Innovspace is now a regional incubator, and ISAE-SUPAERO’s involvement in the “Lanceur d’étoiles” consortium is encouraging the development of deeptech start-ups in the ASD sector in Toulouse!
The “Lanceur d’étoiles” start-up support scheme
Launcher d’étoiles is a consortium of thirteen national and regional partners with expertise in ASD and the creation of deep-tech start-ups (universities, national organisations, SATTs, regional incubators and accelerators). Its mission is to guide and help project leaders to develop their innovative technologies into value-creating start-ups.
This programme is run and coordinated by Toulouse Tech Transfer on behalf of its partners, under the impetus of the University of Toulouse. It is supported by the PUI UT Innovation, one of the key actions of which is to stimulate the creation of deeptech start-ups by providing tailor-made support for project leaders.
To find out more about the Star Launcher support scheme and the start-ups it hosts, see the press kit.
