iXcampus has set itself the mission of participating in the emergence and development of technology companies that help to meet environmental and societal challenges. The Saint-Germain-en-Laye campus is the first place where our method is being put into practice. It consists of building bridges between the worlds of university and business, by equalising resources, skills and experience between the various players resident on the campus: high-tech companies, start-ups and universities. The campus has been awarded the "Grands Lieux d'Innovation et Territoires d'Industrie" label since 2019, and is dedicated to Deeptech (Optics, Photonics, Quantum, Microelectronics, AI and Cybersecurity). Setting up your business on iXcampus means joining a network of industrial companies that are leaders in their field, a community of entrepreneurs and an academic ecosystem of excellence. Architectural design, workspaces, shared technical platforms and laboratories, coordinated student, employee and entrepreneurial communities, training and incubation programmes: our campus is designed to encourage open innovation and create the conditions necessary for the development of technological solutions with a positive impact.
