Last week, Saft held its inaugural IoT Innovation Day in the heart of Paris’ start-up scene.
The event was hosted at Station F in Paris, the renowned innovation campus that is home to over 1,000 startups.
The event gave start-up companies the chance to showcase their latest product developments through exhibit opportunities at the Saft Trade Show, and 10-minute tech talks.
Among those attending the event were:
- MOÏZ – a startup developing fully autonomous, wireless industrial IoT data acquisition modules.
- Human and Science – who provide technical devices that can improve safety in sports, particularly for rowing.
- BladeSENSE – a startup looking to decarbonize the energy and maritime transport sectors through their solutions, including sensors and software, that enhance the performance of wind turbines and sail-powered ships.
- MEMSYS – a Dutch tech company working to unlock a renewable, reliable and durable power source for wireless Industrial IoT (IIoT).
- Enchanted Tools – who created the Mirokaï, robots that are designed to meet the challenges of modern robotics with multiple AIs to interact with users.
- Seeed Studio - an AI hardware business that creates sensors for various solutions.
Saft experts also gave a series of short talks about the latest products, services and technologies available to IoT developers.
Tom Willis, Marketing Director for Saft’s Connected Smart Energy (CSE) business and a speaker at the event, reflected on the day.
“I’ve always found spending time with startups to be valuable. They exist in a world where innovation is paramount, and those different ways of thinking about solutions often present our own team with new challenges around how to power their devices. Saft is built on that same culture of innovation, and so the conversations we were able to have across the day were fascinating.”
“It’s always a joy to see these companies showcase their devices too. When you get that many dynamic thinkers in one space there are always certain ideas or trends that really stay with you for days after the event itself.”
