Two years of innovation at VivaTech: ESIEE Paris projects
VivaTech 2024 and 2025: ESIEE Paris showcased projects from its laboratories, its students and its entrepreneurial ecosystem. Healthcare, artificial intelligence, the green transition and digital systems: these innovations demonstrate concrete solutions to today’s major challenges.
Every year, VivaTech showcases the innovations that are shaping the future. In 2024 and 2025, ESIEE Paris presented a comprehensive ecosystem of innovations at the event: research projects, technologies developed in the laboratories, deep-tech start-ups and student initiatives. This selection illustrates the diversity of approaches and the continuity between education, research and entrepreneurship.
Spotlight: ESIEE Paris cleanrooms
On display every day at the ESIEE Paris stand at VivaTech, the school’s cleanrooms showcase another facet of innovation. They enable the manufacture of micro-components – 10 to 100 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair – which lie at the heart of complex systems.
In particular, they have highlighted the PRO-6PO project (SESAME – Île-de-France Cluster), which is dedicated to developing a 4- and 6-inch pilot production line for the design of sensors for environmental, health and biological applications, as well as research into the use of diamond as a material for sensor production, and the European ERC NEURODIAM project, dedicated to the development of neural implants made entirely of diamond.
