Infraport
PORT INFRASTRUCTURE MODERNIZATION & DIGITAL TRANSITION
This prospective study is a partnership and collaborative initiative anticipating the challenges and opportunities for maritime and river ports by 2070.
“Infraport” questions, explores, and imagines the future of maritime and river ports to initiate a dynamic in the search for solutions to future challenges. A catalyst for ideas and reflections, this collaborative project paves the way for resilient, robust, ecological, and attractive ports by 2070.
Hosted by the Ideaslaboratory hub, “lnfraport” allowed for the exploration of future economic, ecological, and technological challenges of port infrastructures through clarification and exploration workshops, creativity sessions, and testimonies from port stakeholders. A wide range of themes were addressed, including port operations, city-port relationships, port governance, and biodiversity, as well as cross-cutting issues such as energy, mobility, and digital transformation.

CREATION OF A 3D-PRINTED UPPER LIMB PROSTHESIS
A look back at an exciting project led in collaboration with HUB 3D Print and Ottobock, where the challenge was to implement a fully digital workflowâfrom scanning the patient to designing and 3D printing the prosthesisâwhile also enhancing comfort.
Thanks to topological optimization with Siemens NX and HP Multi Jet Fusion printers, we developed an exoskeleton that is both lightweight and strong, capable of supporting heavy loads while remaining discreet and close to natural anatomy. The prosthesis takes inspiration from the human body: rigid on the inside (like a forearm) and flexible on the outside (like skin and muscles). The structure is made from innovative materials, and essential components of the myoelectric handâsuch as the battery and circuit boardâhave been cleverly integrated.
Tested by patients throughout the development process, this prosthesis offers improved comfort and discretion in daily life.

DEVELOPING A TECHNOLOGICAL SYSTEM FOR NEURODEGENERATIVE DISEASE PATIENTSÂ
Since 2022, Y.SPOT has been supporting the Fonds de Dotation Clinatec in its COVEA Neurotec project, which aims to study the effects of photobiomodulation on neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinsonâs, Alzheimerâs, and Lewy body dementia. The Endowment Fund is developing a certified helmet for clinical trials, called the Luciole Cap. It enables precise control of the photobiomodulation dosage and allows for double-blind studies to be conducted with patients in a nearly autonomous manner.
Our contribution to this project encompasses the full development of the control electronics architecture, along with the implementation of the embedded software stack. A production run of 60 headsets is planned for delivery in 2025, in preparation for a first clinical trial targeting Lewy body disease. Y.SPOT continues to provide technical support to the Clinatec Endowment Fund, particularly in system validation, device testing, and regulatory documentation processes.

white paper
Y.SPOT open lab
This white paper is a study conducted by the newPIC chair of the Paris School of Business, commissioned by Y.SPOT. It highlights the organizational principles and strategies of an open lab in deep tech to address societal, environmental, and economic challenges. Based on more than 50 interviews and international comparisons, it offers a framework for analyzing open innovation ecosystems.
