In an age of major change and upheaval, an undeniable technological, economic and social renaissance is emerging: the quest for innovation to benefit the many. This revolution calls for new vision and direction. IDF Innov is reinventing itself and changing with the times to become Erganeo, on a mission to invent a better world.
Erganeo is an investment fund that specializes in breakthrough innovations, or Deep Tech, with major societal impact. We invest early in the game to secure researchers’ newest inventions before they are transferred to companies or before start-ups are founded, across a wide range of scientific fields: Biotech, Infotech (Telecom, connected objects, big data, AI) and Enertech (new energy, chemistry, materials), among others.
As CEO Suat Topsu explains: “We always take care to ensure that the technologies we invest in are used hand-in-hand with strong social and environmental ethics. We’re working to make sure that the industry of the future puts humans and the planet center stage.”
Erganeo aims to accelerate and simplify links between research and industry for the benefit of society. To do so, we finance and accompany the new generation of French researchers and entrepreneurs on the road to international recognition and success.
As a member of the SATT Network, Erganeo draws on the Ile-de-France research network in building the foundations of a better tomorrow, tapping into a talent pool of over 20,000 researchers across 370 cutting-edge, leading laboratories.
Since it was founded, Erganeo has invested over €27m, thus contributing to signing 67 licensing agreements with companies of all sizes, and setting up 14 start-ups.
