Located at the heart of the campus the start-ups offer a stimulating environment. The 2040 students and 250 teacher-researchers of IMT Atlantique can meet, exchange ideas, and benefit from personalised support and advice from entrepreneurs and business creators. The selected startups benefit from exceptional working conditions with 2000 m2 of office spaces dedicated to creation and innovation.

COBALT CONCEPTION (Brest) is a medical device for male contraception monitored by a tracking application.

This device uses thermal contraception which, through a mechanism embedded within the user's underpants, raises the testicles against the body, warming them by a few degrees and preventing the production of spermatozoa. The user thus becomes temporarily infertile. This method is reversible, non-invasive and has no side effects as it is not hormonal. To date, no device has been certified or marketed, so it cannot be prescribed by doctors. This is the challenge of the project: to provide a medical contraceptive device that is safe, comfortable and stylish. Website in progress.

UNICY (Nantes) offers a French alternative to traditional transmission systems such as chains, belts or gearboxes for bicycles. This equipment is currently mainly produced outside the EU.

UNICY aims to produce these technical parts in France. Inspired by the climate and energy crises, UNICY proposes an innovative up-to-date solution in the world of cycling. To overcome the problems of ownership held by Asian industries, they have developed an innovative cardan shaft transmission system with mechanical gear shifting. Their transmission offers innovative technology and a unique look. They want to offer urban users a new identity, that of the new French bicycle. This aim is in line with the ever-improving image of the bicycle, which is establishing itself as a clean mode of transport for the urban workers of tomorrow.
