Our vision
Our starting point
The French innovation ecosystem is rich, vibrant, and creative, but it suffers from a simple problem: it is not unified.
- Too many silos.
- Too much scattered information.
- Too many intermediaries, forms, platforms, and duplicates.
- Too much time wasted.
At InnovLens, we believe an ecosystem should not be a labyrinth.
It should be an open, readable, and fluid space.
This intuition is what gave birth to the project.
Our conviction
Innovation does not need more tools. It needs connections, structure, and trust.
- more transparent,
- more connected,
- more fare,
- more collaborative,
- more readable for everyone,
- more unified.
And that a shared space can multiply collective impact.
Our mission is to simplify and connect innovation in France.
- quickly find their bearings,
- understand who does what,
- find the right partners,
- seize opportunities at the right time,
- and collaborate seamlessly.
We aspire to make France one of the world’s most visible, effective, and unified innovation ecosystems.
How we work
We rely on three simple principles:
Clarity
Provide an organized view of the ecosystem.
Make every actor readable, understandable, and contextualized.
Connection
Build bridges where there were walls.
Connect actors who never meet, but should.
Usefulness
Offer concrete, essential features.
Avoid the superfluous.
Build what truly simplifies actors’ lives.
Our long-term vision
We believe it is possible and necessary to:
- intelligently centralize,
- sustainably structure,
- and massively streamline.
Our vision is not to replace existing networks.
It is to make them visible, compatible, and collaborative.
We want to build an ecosystem where every actor can say:
"I know where to go, who to talk to, and how to move forward."
Why we do this
Because every missed connection slows down innovation.
Because every invisible call for projects deprives a startup of an opportunity.
Because a company should not spend three months searching for what it can find in three minutes.
Because an incubator should not sort through 400 misaligned applications.
Because French innovation deserves better.
We believe that by unifying the ecosystem, we can multiply its impact.
The principles we uphold
Simplicity over complexity
Inclusivity over elitism
Transparency over opacity
Efficiency over dispersion
Collaboration over isolation
This is our compass.
We are not building a platform.
We are building shared infrastructure.
A place where French innovation can meet, connect with, and strengthen itself.
Unified innovation is greater innovation.
That is the entire purpose of InnovLens.
