1st Meeting "Majors companies/GENERATE Start-ups" at NEXTER

On Tuesday, October 15, 2019, the first "Majors/GENERATE" meeting was held at NEXTER in Satory.

This type of event allows major defence companies and young start-ups, accompanied by the "GENERATE" acceleration program, to discuss their needs and solutions for a day and consider collaborations.

In this context, NEXTER was the first GICAT company to offer to host a small dozen start-ups selected by their teams:

  • ALEPH-NETWORKS
  • DIVA ROBOTICS
  • OTHELLO
  • NUMALIS
  • CERBAIR
  • OLEA INNOVATION
  • DIODON DRONE

NEXTER had put many efforts into organizing this event with about fifteen directors and managers of the various entities of the group: procurement, innovation, strategy, M&A, operations, etc. The morning was an opportunity for these start-ups to discuss with them and understand the organization and strategy of the host company on the following topics:

  • The NEXTER group, R&T strategy
  • Open Innovation and CSR Purchasing
  • Robotics
  • Artificial intelligence
  • Innovation and digital transformation

In a second step, after a convivial lunch, the start-ups were able to present their innovative solutions and express their needs and expectations towards NEXTER.

In the end, this first edition is a success and bodes well for good cooperation between the company and these start-ups accelerated by the GICAT.

There is no doubt that this event will very soon see new editions with other major defence industry groups wishing to exchange views with innovative start-ups.
