At RICE, we're proud to be taking part in GRTgaz's innovation initiative by hosting its Nova incubator. This program, dedicated to supporting innovative start-ups in the energy transition sector, enables the emergence of forward-looking solutions, while fostering the industrial and ecological synergies required for a successful transition.

RICE: The Engine of Innovation in the Energy Sector

Our research center, located in Villeneuve-la-Garenne (92), plays a strategic role in the transformation of the energy industry. RICE is much more than just a research center: it's a true catalyst for innovation. It is at the heart of GRTgaz's approach to meeting the challenges of the energy transition. By hosting the Nova incubator, RICE gives start-ups access to the expertise of researchers specializing in crucial fields such as decarbonization, renewable gases, network optimization and advanced energy technologies.

A special welcome for innovative start-ups

As part of GRTgaz's third call for applications, the Nova incubator has selected three particularly innovative start-ups to receive personalized support from RICE. These companies, with their varied profiles, are each working on solutions aimed at transforming the energy sector to make it more sustainable and efficient.

RICE and Personalized Start-up Coaching

Start-ups selected by Nova will benefit from an exceptional working environment at RICE. They will have access to testing areas and state-of-the-art tools to test and perfect their innovations. The incubator will also offer them invaluable support in several areas crucial to their development, including in-depth market research, economic analysis, advice on intellectual property management, and assistance with fund-raising and industrial partnerships.

This unique program enables start-ups to integrate an ecosystem where scientific research meets industrial innovation. It's a unique opportunity for them to test their solutions in real-life conditions, and to develop them with the support of researchers and industry experts.

RICE: A Pillar of Energy Transition and Innovation

RICE plays a central role in GRTgaz's strategy to support the energy transition. By collaborating with start-ups such as LC-Engineering, Octométha and Rift, we are actively contributing to the technologies that will make all the difference in the years to come.
