2Experts meeting on National Systems of Innovation - Paris 21-23 February 2018www.ademe.fr

a brief presentation of ADEME

A public Agency under the joint authority of the French Ministries for Ecology,

Sustainable Development, Energy / Higher Education and Research

ADEME’s Objective : Be the reference and privileged partner for central and local

authorities, professionals and the general public

4 ways of action:

Acquiring knowledge and Develop solutions for the future (R&D and

demonstration programs, roadmaps)

Providing expertise (Advise public authorities, Provide studies, tools & guides,

Help for decision making)

Convincing and mobilizing (communication campaigns, advice to citizens, notably

through Energy information centers, Information and training of professionals)

Financial support for project development (notably : renewable heat fund, waste

fund, Polluted sites)

Investing for the future program (PIA)

supports a large diversity of cathedral-like innovation projects

• Large diversity of projects funded

• In terms of projects cost

Median value cost 10M€ average cost 25M€

80% of projects represent 35% of credits

• In terms of maturity

• Selected projects :

• Technological Innovations

Research demonstrators

Industrial research, experimental development

Pre-industrial experimentation/ first industrial

• Innovations in term of market,

organization…

• Projects funding variety

ADEME research program


French system of incubation / acceleration

Approx. 130 FabLabs, 21 public incubators

“600” (?) third places Paris area

A few unicorns

Main public sponsors

Ministry Research and Innovation

Ministry of industry

bpifrance, public investment bank

Unemployment insurance first public

contribution to entreprenueurship

Numerous private sponsors (2-3 b€/y ??)

business angels,hedge funds, big companies

(Engie, EDF, Orange…)

National label “Frenchtech” for 14 local

ecosystems

for bazaar-like innovation processes


diagnosis of incubation /acceleration ecosystem

regarding climate action

Rate / number of start ups in early stage that are climate action oriented ?

hard to determine

but for example : annual public contest “I-lab” (70 awarded/year, 200 k€)

approx. 5%-10% of awarded projects could be linked directly or indirectly to climate change mitigation / adaptation including renewables and circular economy

How is ADEME promoting climate action within innovation ecosystem(s) at national or regional levels ? (diagnosis 2016)

ADEME funding is mainly dedicated to companies, small medium or large size,with standard business models and projects typically > 500 k€

until 2016, no funding of start ups by ADEME

ADEME is scarcely associated with start up contests, hackathons… eitherpublic or private

a few a scattered thematic initiatives like “Fabrique des mobilités” (est.2016) : a network of knowledge sharing, a community, an accelerator…


how ADEME is getting accustomed to

bazaar-like innovation processes

« GreenTech verte » contest (10 M€)launched april 2016 by Ministry of the environment and Ministry of theeconomy and industry

two sessions spring / autumn 2016 (3 months each from call to award)

~ 250 applicants / ~ 80 start ups funded with a 150 k€ subsidy (seed money)

3 hackathons as side events organized by Ministry of the environment

three incubators/coworking places to host awarded start ups

ADEME corporate contest À nous les projets ! (“Let us venture !”)

launched march 2017 with a “call for irritants regarding climate action”toward the whole ADEME staff (1 000 people, by SMS)

April - March : 5 workshops (50 volunteer attendants) to deepen the irritants

June - September : call for ideas (20 ideas submitted) to solve them

October – December : 7 ideas in pre-incubation process (from idea to project)

January – September 2018 : 3 POC (located in incubators Nantes, Paris andDijon)

From September 2018 : 3 start ups created


À nous les projets ! three POCs underway

hosted by three very different incubators

a cluster

mixed public / private

model

a private company

also present in

Morocco, India, Mexico…

a public incubator

contracting with big

companies for

thematic contests


what’s next ?

To be continued

innovation contests GreenTech verte, À nous les projets ! etc. with new topics covered e.g. civic tech, social innovation…

recently : contest on access to energy in off-grid (electricity) areas (9awarded / 90 applicants)

To be reinforced

share knowledge with innovation ecosystemse.g. energy transition scenarios 2030/2050, roadmaps..

To be thought about

create third place(s) dedicated to climate and the environment ?? in cooperation with e.g. AFD ??
