A biennal private deeptech investment summit uniting investors, LPs, corporates and breakthrough innovators.
For its 9th edition, INPHO Venture Summit reinforced its position as a leading Summit where deeptech investors meet to challenge the question “what’s the next frontier for deeptech investment” in the gorgeous city of Bordeaux. The 2024 edition of INPHO brought together over 180 participants on October 24 and 25 for an intensive 24-hour program.
The event featured eight thematic panels addressing the pros and cons of DeepTech investment for LPs, Climate Tech, and the most promising energy-related innovations to meet surging demand. Infrastructure challenges tied to GenAI, use cases for GenAI and Quantum technologies, and the upcoming wave of Tech-Bio innovations driving health advancements were also covered.
The program included 18 pitches from selected companies, seven themed networking workshops, and intensive networking opportunities
The INPHO Venture Summit provides entrepreneurs with the opportunity to engage in valuable interactions with private investors and C-level managers of leading organizations.
This year, after a highly competitive evaluation involving 300 applicants from US, Europe and Asia, 57 startups were shortlisted for the digital jury phase where more than 60 investors joined. The final decision on the startups pitching live at the event was challenging due to the high quality of innovation across all candidates, making the selection process difficult for the INPHO Venture board and jury members. Ultimately, the jury shortlisted 18 finalists who were invited to introduce themselves during the pitching sessions, part of the INPHO 2024 Start-up Award.
After two days of inspiring discussions and pitches at the INPHO® Venture Summit, Transmutex emerged as the 2024 winner.
Among 124 candidates and 18 finalists, Transmutex has been awarded the Most Promising Company Award at the 2024 INPHO Venture Summit for its groundbreaking approach to sustainable energy. By combining particle accelerator technology with an advanced metal-cooled nuclear core, Transmutex is not only generating carbon-free energy but also addressing one of the greatest challenges in nuclear energy: the safe reduction of nuclear waste. Their technology dramatically cuts the toxic lifetime of nuclear waste from 300,000 years to just 300, while pioneering a sustainable thorium-based fuel cycle.
This achievement reflects INPHO’s commitment to supporting transformative innovations that address critical global challenges.
Transmutex’s win underscores the power of technology to redefine our energy future, aligning with the INPHO mission to bring the most impactful deeptech solutions into the spotlight.
