Startup

Zero, a startup created by three aerospace engineers and recently incubated by ISAE-SUPAERO, offers a visual positioning system for drones designed to operate in environments without GPS.

Could you tell us about the genesis of Zéro?

We are three aerospace engineers who met and became best friends in Lisbon, during our degree studies (degree in aerospace engineering at the Instituto Superior Técnico de Lisboa). We soon realised that we formed an extremely complementary and efficient team, to the extent that we always worked together on all our group projects.

It even led us to create a popular science and technology podcast – Zero Absoluto – which met with some success in Portugal. That’s where the name of our start-up comes from.

After graduating, each of them went on to do a Masters at a different university: João Silva went to TU Delft, Álvaro Patrício to Sapienza Università di Roma, and I to ISAE-SUPAERO. Once we had finished our studies, we got together to work on a project that was to become Zero Industries: a visual positioning system (VPS) for drones, designed to operate in environments without GPS, particularly in the context of modern conflicts.

We had the opportunity to present our first concept prototype in Warsaw to military players and the response was extremely positive. It was a turning point: we understood the urgency and the real need for this technology. It was at that point that we decided to seek funding to turn our vision into reality.

Today, we are proud to be backed by two major European venture capital funds – Project Europe and Heartfelt_ – while being incubated at ISAE-SUPAERO.

Could you tell us about your innovation?

Our innovation is a Visual Positioning System (VPS) that allows a drone to navigate completely autonomously without relying on GPS.

In today’s conflict zones, GPS signals are often scrambled or falsified, leaving drones vulnerable and unable to navigate properly. Our solution uses computer vision and artificial intelligence to enable the drone to determine its exact position in real time, even in the most complex and contested environments.

What makes our technology unique is that it is lightweight, fast and designed to run directly on embedded systems, without any external infrastructure. As a result, it offers reliable navigation for critical defence and security missions, directly in the field.

What are your short- and long-term development plans?

In the short term (next 18 months):

Our aim is to move from TRL 5 (Technology validated in a relevant environment) to TRL 9 (Real system proven in an operational environment), by developing a complete product ready for use in real-life conditions.

This involves

Integrating our VPS on several UAV platforms, to demonstrate its compatibility and versatility.
Carrying out field tests with our partners in the defence sector to validate operational performance.
Optimising our algorithms to make them faster, more accurate and more robust, while guaranteeing that they operate in real time on embedded systems.

Long term (3 to 5 years):

Our vision is to become the benchmark supplier of intelligent systems for defence, offering plug-and-play solutions that bring intelligence to UAVs and other military assets.

In concrete terms, our technology does not consist in manufacturing the drone or the platform itself, but in providing what makes them intelligent:

Real-time target identification and tracking,
Precision last-mile targeting and guidance,
Autonomous navigation without GPS, even in highly contested environments.

Our approach can be compared to that of Waymo in relation to Tesla in the field of autonomous vehicles: Tesla designs the vehicle in its entirety, whereas Waymo only provides the system that makes a vehicle autonomous.

In the same way, Zero focuses on the intelligence layer, so that any drone or military asset can become an autonomous and effective tool without relying on GPS.

Eventually, we will be able to extend our scope to other sectors, such as ground robotics, logistics, urban mobility and search and rescue operations, where autonomous navigation and advanced perception are also crucial.

Why did you set up the company in Toulouse and not in Portugal?

Toulouse is one of the world’s centres of innovation in aeronautics and defence. By locating here, we benefit from a rich ecosystem of major manufacturers, cutting-edge research laboratories and specialist talent.

What’s more, France offers a highly favourable environment for deeptech and defence start-ups, with public and private schemes that actively support innovation and the development of strategic technologies.

Portugal remains very important to us personally and professionally, but Toulouse offers the ideal conditions to accelerate the development and industrialisation of our solution.

What does the ISAE-SUPAERO incubator offer you? How are you supported?

The ISAE-SUPAERO incubator plays a key role in our development. It provides us with: Access to infrastructure and research laboratories to test and improve our technology.
Contacts with experts, mentors and decision-makers in the aerospace and defence industry.
A network of partners and potential customers in France and abroad.
Support with the strategic, legal and financial aspects of setting up a deeptech start-up.

Over and above the material resources, this incubator enables us to be at the heart of innovation, to make rapid progress and to be anchored in an ecosystem that shares our ambitions.

Last week’s event attracted almost 80 participants over the course of the day!

2024 Star Launcher Bootcamps

The event began with a number of conferences on the theme of defence, featuring some of the biggest names in the sector:

“Defence innovation”, by EUROGROUP Consulting with Michael Agbohouto and Adeline TARAVELLA
“Presentation of the DGA” by Olivier Trelcat
“Financing mechanisms for defence innovation”, by the Defence Innovation Agency with Xavier Itard
“NATO funding mechanisms” by Hervé Skenderoff from AID
“Defense Angels presentation by Eric Marti

A speed-meeting with speakers from the defence sector and start-ups supported by the Star Launcher programme was then held in the Institute’s Innovspace. It was a day packed with presentations and discussions on the ways in which defence innovation can be supported, enabling the Institute to make a tangible contribution to stimulating defence innovation in the aerospace sector.

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.

Eight weeks immersed in an ecosystem of start-ups and a project to pitch at the end to convince investors.

No, we’re not talking about a business school course, but an optional module that can be taken in the 2nd year of the ISAE-SUPAERO engineering course. This year, ten students set their sights on this business creation course. They had two months to set up an entrepreneurial project in the field of data, at IoT Valley. With the possibility of transforming it into a start-up within InnovSpace, the Institute’s incubator.

As a research and training institute, two years ago ISAE-SUPAERO made innovation one of its third pillars. InnovSpace, the Institute’s fablab, has been transformed into an incubator for entrepreneurial projects led by its community. At the same time, ISAE-SUPAERO has incorporated training modules devoted to innovation and entrepreneurship into its curricula. This includes the elective module “Setting up a business creation project”.

An evolution in line with market aspirations

“Companies in our ecosystem are looking to recruit engineers who are committed, creative, autonomous and have a ‘market’ approach,” explains Romain Buquet, professor in charge of innovation and entrepreneurship at ISAE-SUPAERO. “As for our students, they have a real appetite for innovation.”

Born into a family of engineers, but with a background in business, this former creator of high-impact start-ups has been in charge of the entrepreneurship and innovation courses for the past two years. His credo is an innovative approach to teaching. A simulation of “Who wants to be my partner?” with a real coach and a panel of judges from the M6 programme, pitches to (fake) investors with (fake) money… any idea is good enough to pass on to engineering students his taste for entrepreneurship.

A mini-entrepreneurial adventure in 1A

This year marked a new stage, with the integration of an entrepreneurial challenge called Problem Solvers into the core curriculum of the engineering course, starting in the first year. In groups of four, the 217 engineering students had four weeks to create a business project based on a problem raised by an alumni. “The problems were not necessarily related to aerospace and they had to go and interview professionals to put together a credible project”, explains Romain Buquet.

Throughout their mini-entrepreneurial adventure, the students received coaching and met inspiring speakers. To achieve this, Romain Buquet mobilised both the Institute’s alumni community and speakers from a wide range of backgrounds. “No fewer than 105 different professionals took part in this challenge”, he notes. His aim? For the students to have fun! And they did. The winners received a trip to Paris to meet investors and, why not, continue their entrepreneurial adventure.

An MS to “train transformative leaders”

From the start of the 2024-2025 academic year, Romain Buquet will also be in charge of the new Specialised Masters® IEM (Innovation, Entrepreneurship & Management)*. This course is accessible after a Master’s degree and is open to profiles other than engineers, even though it has a strong technological dimension. “The unique proposition of this course is to train transformative leaders capable of understanding both the market and the technology”, he explains. “In other words, they must master the technology and know the industry like an engineer, while at the same time demonstrating the business acumen and capacity for innovation of an entrepreneur.”

And Romain Buquet recalls the expertise and specificity of ISAE-SUPAERO in this area: “Among the four French industrial start-ups with unicorn status – those valued at more than 1 billion dollars – three were created by alumni of the Institute”.

* The MS IEM replaces the MS MGPIE (Management of Innovative Projects & Entrepreneurship).

In 2022, innovation, the Institute’s third pillar, has taken on a new dimension at ISAE-SUPAERO. My arrival as a permanent teacher in charge of innovation and entrepreneurship is concrete proof of this. I’ve been able to start drawing on my dual experience as an entrepreneur (INCO, Impact Campus, Virvolt) and as a teacher-researcher (ESCP Business School doctorate, teaching at the École Polytechnique, etc.) to design and run top-quality training courses on these subjects, drawing on inspiring speakers and cutting-edge partners such as IoT Valley.

Meeting with Bastien Fabre

You set up Iris Lab while you were still students on the engineering course at ISAE-SUPAERO. What role did the Institute play in your desire to set up your own business?

As students, we already had the idea of becoming entrepreneurs. But at first, we didn’t see ourselves doing it straight after school… And then, being immersed in the ISAE-SUPAERO innovation ecosystem, we said to ourselves that it was possible! We started thinking seriously about it during our Final Year Project (PIE). There were three of us on the project at the time. Nicolas and I were able to bring it to fruition by creating our start-up, which was initially housed at ISAE-SUPAERO’s InnovSpace. We also benefited from the Lanceur d’Étoiles scheme [see box]. Finally, we received financial support from the ISAE-SUPAERO Foundation, the Alumni Association and extracurricular grants. The Institute and its ecosystems really helped us to create our start-up, and we’d like to thank them for that!

The technology you have developed is directly inspired by the knowledge you acquired at ISAE-SUPAERO. Can you explain how?

Our starting point was the observation that autonomous systems, such as logistics robots or drones, currently have very limited autonomy, and we set out to develop a wireless recharging technology. The idea came to us during our space studies at ISAE-SUPAERO, because space requires autonomous systems. We were fascinated by Space Based Solar Power, a technology that is currently the stuff of science fiction, but would enable us to harvest energy in space. Iris Lab’s project is to develop a technology for the wireless transmission of power by optical flow.

2024 seems to be the year for Iris Lab, which has been named one of Challenges magazine's "100 start-ups to invest in". How far has the start-up got in its development?

We’ve joined Agoranov, a Paris-based incubator specialising in deep tech, and are in the process of developing our second prototype. At the same time, we’re part of the Entrepreneur First S24 cohort at Station F. We want to start raising €3 million to launch pre-production with an industrial partner and finance the recruitment of engineers. The idea is to bring this pre-production model to market by 2025-2026. We have also recruited a CTO (Chief Technical Officer), Lakshman Srinivasan, who has a background in photovoltaic research, and interns. As for the award in Challenges, it was a great boost. Thanks to it, Iris Lab has gained both visibility and credibility.

What advice would you give to students who want to become entrepreneurs?

Let them try! And talk to entrepreneurs. When we were students, we got a lot of help from David Henri, the founder of Exotrail. Having the support and advice of someone who has been through the same thing and faced similar problems makes things easier!

The founders of Iris Lab

Nicolas Bourliatoux, 25: CEO (Chief Executive Officer), a graduate of the ISAE-SUPAERO 2023 engineering programme specialising in Automation; internship at Exotrail and ArianeGroup.
Bastien Fabre, 26: COO (Chief Operating Officer), a graduate of the ISAE-SUPAERO 2023 engineering programme specialising in Fluid Mechanics, with a double degree from HEC specialising in Finance.

Star Launcher, an initiative of ISAE-SUPAERO

The Lanceur d’étoiles (Star Launcher) scheme, which ISAE-SUPAERO helped to create, was publicly launched in March 2023. The aim of this consortium is to encourage the emergence and development of deep-tech start-ups in the aeronautics, space and defence sectors in the Toulouse Academy. It offers free, tailor-made support to beneficiary start-ups for a period of 3 to 18 months to boost their projects. ISAE-SUPAERO plays a major role in this, with six of the seven start-ups supported from 2022 coming from its ranks.

Introducing a promising start-up

Antoine, aged 22, is in his 2nd year of an engineering course at ISAE-SUPAERO, and Lazare, his partner, is studying for a Master’s degree in entrepreneurship at Panthéon Sorbonne University. Two years ago, Lazare’s sister developed severe food allergies, and her life suddenly became complicated. The two boys wanted to help her, so they looked into the tools available.

The idea germinated, and the project was born: to develop a platform enabling people with food allergies and intolerances to eat easily. The aim was to “save time, make things easier and give people the confidence to identify and diversify the products that are right for them”, explains Antoine. Another objective: “To avoid the social isolation that is a problem for these people”.

Allergenius, which is based at lSAE-SUPAERO, benefits from the Institute’s incubation programme, which includes themed workshops (entrepreneurship, marketing, communication, fund-raising assistance, sales negotiation, etc.) and specific coaching sessions (pitch training, networking, etc.).

From 2025, the start-up will be housed in the InnovSpace incubator at the heart of the ISAE-SUPAERO campus. The start-up has also been awarded a €3,500 Jeunes Pousses Entrepreneuriat 2024 grant from the ISAE-SUPAERO Foundation.

3-in-1 functionalities

The platform has three functions:

a scanner to identify products that meet individual criteria;
a shopping tab so that you can do your shopping online in line with your dietary restrictions;
a community space for exchanging, sharing and cooking with people who have the same allergies.

“Today, existing applications such as Yuka, Allergobox and Jow don’t offer the full range of services we have in mind,” note Antoine and Lazare. They are advancing the development of a prototype, which should be completed in a few months’ time, and the start-up is in the process of being set up. AllerGenius is the name of this future app that says “no to restrictions, yes to solutions”.

3ᵉ prize at the regional competition for student entrepreneurs

The two co-founders have just been awarded the 3ᵉ prix CRECE 2024, which encourages the most innovative student initiatives in Occitanie. The Jeunes Pousses grant from the ISAE-SUPAERO Foundation was recently awarded to Antoine and the support provided by ISAE-SUPAERO’s InnovSpace are a bundle of encouragement and support.

Meeting with Bertrand Joab-Cornu

You co-founded the start-up Wingly while you were still a student at ISAE-SUPAERO. Tell us about this entrepreneurial adventure...

I studied engineering at ISAE-SUPAERO, graduating in 2016. Passionate about aeronautics and entrepreneurship, I took a double-diploma with École Polytechnique in Innovation Technology and Entrepreneurship. At the time, the collaborative economy was exploding with start-ups like BlaBlaCar and Airbnb. On the benches of ISAE-SUPAERO, I already had the idea of a co-piloting platform based on the same principle. At X I met my future partner, Emeric de Waziers, who had also had the idea on his own, and we launched Wingly in 2015. There was a niche to be filled and it worked really, really well!

Wingly is 10 years old and this year marks an important stage in its development. Can you tell us more about it?

We have been able to cope with the crises of recent years and the company is doing well. There are currently 25,000 private pilots registered on the platform, with more than 120,000 passengers in flight. We have also just passed the €40 million mark in sales volume. This year, we opened up to low-carbon aviation through partnerships with seven flying clubs that own an electric aircraft. We also closed a €3.5m fund-raising round with the aim of achieving profitability by 2025 and embarking on new projects. We also opened up our capital through a crowdfunding campaign on the Crowdcube platform, to get our community involved.

Wingly, the BlaBlaCar of the skies.
Europe’s leading flight-sharing platform, Wingly offers shared-cost flights between a private pilot and one or more passengers. 450,000 members are registered on this digital platform. The Paris-based company employs 20 people and offers its services in several European countries, including Germany, the UK, Switzerland, Austria and France.

What is the medium-term outlook?

Currently, use of the platform is focused on leisure flights: 90% of our passengers take local trips and the remaining 10% take day trips. But Wingly has a real role to play in regional mobility, where there is no alternative to the car, especially as companies developing low-carbon aviation are positioning themselves in this niche. We also hope to launch in other countries, notably the United States, if regulations change.

What advice would you give to ISAE-SUPAERO students who would like to become entrepreneurs during their studies as you did?

The first piece of advice I would give is to trust yourself and your idea! And then go out and test it, without wasting too much time working out the perfect business plan or a finished prototype.

ISAAR DAHER/ ISAE-SUPAERO Chair: presentation of the Chair's work

Design and certification of CS-23 category aircraft ✈ In collaboration with our sponsor #daher and with the support of the ISAE-SUPAERO Foundation, discover the latest advances in the work of the #ISAAR Chair (Innovative Solutions for Aviation Architecture & Regulation). Aircraft design is inherently multidisciplinary. It relies on a systemic approach to understanding certification needs and requirements and on a comprehensive analysis of possible vehicle architectures. Current and future environmental, societal and mobility challenges further reinforce this need to integrate disciplines in order to better optimise aircraft and to better reconcile safety, performance, environmental protection, market economics and the needs of passengers and crew.

Discover our OSE InGÉ program

“OSE Intégrer une Grande École” with the OSE InGÉ program, ISAE-SUPAERO's student social opening program for scientific CPGE students, in partnership with the ISAE-SUPAERO Foundation, ENAC - Ecole Nationale de l'Aviation Civile and the ENAC Foundation. The OSE InGÉ program provides personalized support for young girls and scholarship-holders throughout their preparatory classes for the Grandes Ecoles (CPGE), helping them to build their future plans and develop their ambitions. The stakes are threefold: the democratization of education linked to profound rather than structural transformations, the strengthening of #social openness in the grandes écoles and the engineering field, and the creation of an innovative scheme on the scale of an Occitanie region. Begun in 2022, the program was brought to life thanks to the collaboration of the teaching teams at three Toulouse high schools: Lycée Bellevue, Lycée Déodat de Séverac and Lycée Pierre de Fermat, the mobilization of ISAE-SUPAERO alumni and the support of our partners: the Conseil Régional de La Région Occitanie / Pyrénées-Méditerranée, Airbus, Elior Group and CREPS de Toulouse. It consists of : - customized mentoring: personalized, one-to-one support from a mentor who is an alumnus of the school, depending on availability and needs. An ISAE-SUPAERO alumnus provides support right up to the competitive entrance exams, offering his or her experience, support and listening skills to help answer questions and reinforce choices; - immersion courses to discover the campus of a Grande École, talk to former CPGE students and professionals with inspiring backgrounds, meet your mentor, consolidate your knowledge and learn how to better manage your CPGE years; - one-off events at partner high schools: an #orientation evening, testimonials from professionals, conferences, dinner/debates, training for #CPGE teachers on how to support vulnerable students.
