Your right hand in the age of agents.

20 years in the field — public research, heavy industry, impact startups. I work alongside you to de-risk the unknown and see your emerging projects through.

01 — Exploration & Technology foresight

Inspire, clear the ground and map the uncertainty before you commit your resources.

Critical watch & weak signals

Analysis of scientific, usage and business-model disruptions to reveal your blind spots.

Clearing upstream roadblocks

Critical concept review, prior-art analysis and state-of-the-art benchmarking.

Opportunity scenarios

Objective modelling of trajectories to decide early whether to accelerate, pivot or walk away.

02 — Strategic partnerships & Open innovation

Build the bridges and bring together the key building blocks to speed up emergence.

Science → Market bridges

Hands-on connection and negotiation of agreements with public research (CNRS, CEA, laboratories) and industrial players.

Setting up collaborations

Structuring of collaborative projects, consortia and intellectual-property sharing.

Innovation funding

Identification of non-dilutive schemes and preparation of co-funding applications (calls for projects, grants).

03 — Rapid prototyping & AI systems

Move past the conceptual debate: design and test against reality.

Demonstrators & MVP (0 to 1)

Design and build of working prototypes (physical or software), ready to be handled.

Real-world usage testing

Field test benches to measure actual desirability and technical robustness.

Dedicated agentic systems

Deployment of AI agent workflows to speed up data exploration and development.

04 — Maturation & Project structuring

Turn experimentation into a lasting programme and secure execution.

Running orphan initiatives

Taking charge of strategic projects with no dedicated team, until the handover.

Technology maturation

Methodical progression through maturity milestones (TRL 2 to 8) and structuring of the roadmap.

Passing on methods

Documentation of lessons learned and upskilling of your in-house teams.

engagement formats

  • Fixed time (2 to 5 days) — Framing & Feasibility — An opportunity diagnostic to clear a roadblock or rule on the viability of a technology.
  • Project mission (1 to 3 months) — Prototyping & Demonstrator — Dedicated ownership to design, prototype and test a working deliverable.
  • Innovation residency (1 to 2 days / week) — Regular steering — A recurring presence within your governance to drive exploration, partnerships and R&D over time.

Not a magic box: a capability to act, calibrated to your projects, an objective view and a direct ally, with no middleman.
