RISE in few words
RISE is CNRS Innovation's start-up creation support program.
The CNRS RISE program, led by CNRS Innovation, aims to support deeptech start-up projects designed to exploit the technologies developed in the CNRS’s 1,000 laboratories, from the idea to the structuring, to the creation and the first phases of financing.
Open to all start-up projects and young start-up involving the CNRS, the RISE program allows carriers to benefit from the expertise and network of CNRS Innovation, and to bring out their project in optimal conditions, by benefiting from an effective one-year upstream support, provided by a team of dedicated experts and mentors to support them in all their development stages.
