Venator
Defining a roadmap to reduce VENATOR’s environmental impacts.
VENATOR, a company with high gas consumption for its complex chemical process (ultramarine blue), turned to Y.SPOT to lead their "eco-transformation" thinking with a long-term perspective. What appealed to them was the CEA's technical and agnostic expertise (thermal optimization, waste treatment, valorization of lost heat) combined with
...
Y.SPOT's eco-innovation methods. We conducted a comprehensive environmental analysis of their entire process using qualitative and proven tools. More importantly, we proposed viable short to medium-term solutions to achieve their environmental transition. As a result, a detailed and illustrated roadmap, in the form of a poster, now adorns several corridors at VENATOR to remind their employees that it is possible, and the transition is underway. Immersion-Analysis-Solution-Diffusion are the 4 key steps to the success of this project.
In collaboration with Olivier Dellea, CEA Tech.

Ottobock
AN INNOVATIVE PROSTHESIS PERFECTLY ADAPTED TO PATIENT NEEDS THANKS TO ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING.
We worked with our partner Ottobock to create a new-generation prosthesis printed using HP’s MJF technology.
Together, we pushed back the boundaries of design and additive manufacturing to produce a prosthesis that is strong, more comfortable and ergonomic, and perfectly adapted to the individual needs of lower-limb amputees.
This project was made possible by a harmonious multidisciplinary approach, uniting the talents of designers, engineers and orthoprosthetists. Their collaboration overcame technical challenges and gave rise to a technical solution geared towards an optimal user experience.
In collaboration with Jules Revais, Ottobock.

Touch2see
THE TOUCHSCREEN TABLET FOR VISUALLY IMPAIRED SPORTS EVENT TRACKING !
touch2see is the winner of the EvenTech Challenge organized in partnership with Orange, Intel, Cisco, and Inria. They develop and market an interactive touchscreen tablet that allows visually impaired individuals to follow a sports competition in real-time in a stadium, ... by tracing the movement of the ball with their fingers. This enhances their experience and enables them to feel even more emotions during a match! The young start-up trusted us to enhance the robustness of their solution and design their final product. This device has already been tested in real-life conditions at the Orange VÃĐlodrome during a football match and mobilized all the skills of Y.SPOT: product design, mechanics, electronics, and project management. A true success that we hope will be deployed during the Paris Olympics next summer! Project duration: 6 months

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.
