Incubation at ISAE-SUPAERO
Our incubator
Thanks to its innovation drive, since 2023 ISAE-SUPAERO has been a member of RéSO IP+ (RésO Incubateurs Pépinières +), the network of incubators and nurseries in the Occitanie region that brings together support and accommodation structures for high-potential business creators.
The Institute now has privileged access to all RéSO IP+ events, to the sharing of best practice and to the expertise required to support start-ups.
In recent years, ISAE-SUPAERO has developed a range of services and comprehensive support for its project leaders, which has earned it the title of incubator.
Start-ups incubated within Innvospace benefit from the accommodation and incubation space located on the first floor of the building, which can currently house eleven start-ups. This incubation area is strictly reserved for them.
Our FabLab
InnovSpace: a place for creativity, meetings and exchanges
Located at the heart of the ISAE-SUPAERO campus,InnovSpace is both a fablab and an incubator.
Its aim is to encourage innovation within the school in a collaborative spirit!
With its 800 m² of workshops, open spaces, meeting rooms and offices,InnovSpace fosterstechnological innovation and supports students and staff in all types of projects andentrepreneurial ventures.
The workspace is equipped with a wide range of facilities and is a place of exchange, creativity and innovation for everyone on campus.
The incubator has the capacity to house up to 11 start-ups by 2025 and its ambition is to be able to support up to 20 start-ups a year. Two permanent Fablab managers are on hand to help project leaders develop their skills and actively contribute to the prototyping of DeepTech start-ups.
The ambition of our Fablab
The aim of the InnovSpace Fablab is to provide users with the machines, software and skills they need to create prototypes and bring their projects to fruition. The aim is to give users (teachers and students at ISAE-SUPAERO) theopportunity to build things themselves and to develop their skills.
It hosts a variety of events: initiations, creativity workshops, technical training, project reviews, etc. offered in-house or by partners.
Since 2022, InnovSpace has also been an incubator for start-up companies from ISAE-SUPAERO.
The business model for the incubator part of InnovSpace does not depend on returns from the sale of shares in incubated start-ups. It is based on public funding and private contributions. InnovSpace has been designed as a service offering for ISAE-SUPAERO start-ups and spin-offs in order to create an entrepreneurial dynamic within the Institute.
The InnovSpace offer
InnovSpace comprises two separate areas:
- The prototyping area or Fablab, comprising :
- workshops for 3D printing and design, vinyl cutting, laser cutting, hot-wire cutting, digital embroidery, carpentry, video, electronics, sewing and concurrent engineering;
- spaces for creativity, collective intelligence, work, study and exhibition;
- a digital laboratory including an AR/VR (augmented reality/virtual reality) space, a concurrent engineering space and a video studio;
- an outdoor storage area,
- A space for hosting and incubating projects and start-ups.
The InnovSpace is responsible for initiating entrepreneurial projects from ISAE-SUPAERO (students, teachers and alumni), primarily in the field of Deep Tech. Its aim is to be a high-impact deep-tech incubator.
It offers a full range of services for innovative projects: from the creativity phase to the creation of a company, including the design and prototyping of the first versions of products.
Three full-time staff work alongside InnovSpace users to manage the Fablab and support entrepreneurial projects. Support for entrepreneurial projects is provided by three members of staff, backed up by a wide range of specialist consultants and temporary staff.
The aim of the SIE and InnovSpace is to enable the Institute's staff and the start-ups that emerge from it to develop their skills. For these start-ups, this means approaching markets and developing technological maturity, from seed stage to prototyping, benefiting in particular from the Institute's human and technological environment!
François du Cluzel Head of IEFour great names embody our Agora
The ISAE-SUPAERO Foundation supported the initiative of three ambassadors who were keen to call on alumni, former directors and executives of the Safran Group to make a collective donation to inscribe in the Agora space the names of four great engineers who have marked the history of the Group and of aeronautics: This unprecedented initiative raised €102,000 from 100 donors, and is the very first naming operation on campus!
