In 2025, Euronovia reinforced what makes up its DNA: a strong European vision, the need to innovate, the need to share knowledge and determined support for female entrepreneurship. Four founding convictions that are more than ever at the heart of our actions.

The importance of Europe

As a founding member of the European Association of Innovation Consultants (EAIC), Euronovia renewed its mandate on the Board in 2025. This is a strong recognition of our long-term commitment.

This momentum was further strengthened with the election of our President, Virginie Robin, to the position of Vice-President of the EAIC, in charge of advocacy. This is a strategic responsibility at the dawn of a new European funding programme, in a context that will determine the future of innovation in Europe.

We have also confirmed our partnership with the National Association for Research and Technology (ANRT). Euronovia is now one of the expert trainers mobilised by the ANRT to support project leaders in obtaining European funding. The aim is to pass on concrete, pragmatic and directly operational expertise in order to increase the number and quality of French applications, particularly for Horizon Europe. See the 2026 training catalogue for the Horizon Europe programme.

The need to innovate

Innovation is essential for developing solutions to the major challenges of today and tomorrow. In 2025, we supported high-impact European projects at the crossroads of energy transition, security, AI and talent training:

• COMPASS, coordinated by France Énergies Marines, is developing an integrated decision support platform to assess the sustainability of offshore wind farms in Europe.
• GUARDIANS, led by the CEA, is designing new technologies and strategies to improve emergency management in the event of a nuclear crisis.
• GenAide, a doctoral training network (MSCA Doctoral Network) led by Honda Research Institute Europe, explores collaboration between human and AI teams in industrial design engineering.
• MiningBrines, led by UniLaSalle, addresses a key challenge of the energy transition: the sustainable recovery of critical resources contained in geothermal brines.
• ExplainableAD, coordinated by the Institut Polytechnique de Paris, is developing an explainable AI-based anomaly detection system to secure digital services and facilitate its industrial adoption in finance, IT and healthcare.
• BrainSomnia, an ERC Consolidator project led by Alexandra Vallet from Mines Saint-Etienne which aims to help detect Alzheimer’s disease risk earlier and support new preventive strategies.

The need to share knowledge

Share, disseminate, promote: in 2025, Euronovia continued its commitment to promoting European projects and their results. Two new projects were launched with Euronovia in charge of communication and dissemination activities:

• COMPASS on offshore wind farms (see above),
• SCALE’HER, which supports the growth of deep tech and digital start-ups led by women by strengthening leadership, visibility and access to key ecosystems.

Finally, this year also saw the completion of three of our European projects:

• WORM, which aims to reduce the environmental footprint of humanitarian operations through circular economy principles.
• CO-Udlabs, facilitating access to 17 experimental research platforms to accelerate innovation in urban hydrology (see our article).
• SCORE, establishing an integrated coastal zone management framework to strengthen the ecosystem-based approach and smart coastal city policies.

The urgency of supporting female entrepreneurship

Gender equality in innovation is not just a slogan: it is a daily struggle. In 2025, we participated in Slush‘s Women’s Power Pavilion, a leading international event for start-ups, technology and innovation.

Alongside major European initiatives – WomenTechEU, WomenInvestEU, EIT Supernovas, Gender Gap in Investments, European Female Founders, the Green Transition Forum and our HER FUND and SCALE’HER projects, in which we are partners – this pavilion embodied a collective effort to reduce gender inequality in deep tech. The presence of leading figures such as Sirpa Pietikäinen (MEP), Denisa Perrin (EIC Accelerator – EISMEA) and Jean-David Malo (European Commission) underlined a strong political will to transform the ecosystem in a sustainable way.

At the same time, we continued our mentoring activities with start-ups founded or run by women, through the EIC Women Leadership Programme and the programme run by La Ruche and the Ile-de-France Region.

The energy of the collective

2025 was not just a year of projects: it was a year in which Euronovia gained momentum. Commitments are being fulfilled and collective energy is being transformed into a driver of performance and impact.

We welcomed Emilie Floch, a senior consultant based in Brest, who is opening Euronovia’s first office in Brittany. With a strong background in the public sector (e.g. CNRS, Plateforme Projets Européens – 2PE), Émilie joined the team in January.

Sarah Bonnet also joined the adventure: initially an intern working on monitoring, setting up and communicating European projects, she is now a junior consultant based in Paris.

Finally, 2025 marks the implementation of Euronovia’s CSR strategy, with several flagship initiatives: the organisation of Digital Cleanup Day and Fresque du Numérique by Numerik’Oz, the donation of obsolete computers and phones with Greentic, the team’s participation in the 2025 edition of La Parisienne, our membership of the Mouvement Impact France, and more.

Euronovia supports you in 2026

We look forward to seeing you again in 2026!
