France is here, and we mean business. France is more than just Edith Piaf, Yves Saint Laurent and Château Margaux. We’re Blabla Car, Sigfox, Ingenico, Weezevent, Criteo, Visiomed, Bluefrog Robotics… France still knows how to create l’art de vivre, and we will never lose our “French Touch.” But today, we’re also developing a reputation for “La French Tech”: connected objects, video, e-health, cybersecurity, mobility and more. One of our startups, for example, has developed a technology that brings a glass of Bordeaux to the perfect temperature in less than a minute. We’ll drink to that. Last year, 120 French companies—including 70 startups—presented their wares at CES, making France the biggest European presence at the technology trade show. Thirteen won awards. That was no fluke. This year, there will be more than 200 companies representing France at CES 2016, an increase of 65% . Eureka Park will host more than 120 French startups, a leap of 71% from last year. In fact, 30% of Eureka Park’s startups are French this year, making us the second biggest foreign delegation behind China yet far ahead of Israel, the UK, Germany and Japan! With a highly talented labor pool, government support for innovation, a strong infrastructure and eager investors, French Tech has its foot firmly on the accelerator. 3 35 startups in Eureka Park at the French Tech Pavilion The Business France Jury Members For the 3rd consecutive year, Business France is proud to organize the French Tech Pavilion at CES 2016, where France based startups will showcase their innovation. The success of ‘’La French Tech’’ at CES is partly due to the high caliber startups selected by Business France to be part of the French Tech Pavilion, a special showcase gathering some of the finest of La French Tech.

The data for each of our wines is contained in a microchip (RFID) embedded on our 10cl wine flacons. The microchip also gives access to videos of our wine maker partners and the advices of our oenologist, such as wine pairing directly without the need of application through NFC technology. The D-Vine, Sommelier at home, is a tasting machine serving your glass of wine in the perfect conditions of temperature and oxygenation in less than one minute. The data for each reference of wine are recorded in an electronic chip (RFID) disposed on our 10cl flacons (equivalent 1 glass of wine each). The RFID chip also gives access to our winegrowers-partners and our oenologist tips videos, such as the wine and food pairings, with no need of a specific application but the Near Field Communication (NFC). The machine was created for the wine enthusiasts who enjoy a glass of wine, with a perfect serving, without being experts. Besides, the 10cl packaging allows the wine lovers to appreciate a glass of wine without opening a full bottle, and everyone can chose the wine they want to savor, “à la carte”, like in restaurant. The added value of this product consists in the panel of services. The customer can order the flacons on the website, have access to the online videos, to the web-tastings, and enhance the wines with the D-Vine. We base our offer on 2 strong market trends. First, the consumers are expecting professional quality but with a simple use, at home. This is true for coffee, sodas, appliances, cooking shows… Paradoxically, nothing existed in the wine field, which is very appreciated but mysterious and expensive. Furthermore, the wine by the glass is expanding in the catering sector, because everyone wants to choose their nectar. 10-Vins has taken care of this market, and has decided to offer a friendly option, easy to use and suited to enjoy deeply the experience of wine by the glass at home.

Consumer Tech Bixi by Bluemint Labs Bluemint Labs presents Bixi: the first ultraportable contactless smart object that simplifies connected life using intuitive gesture recognition. This compact and robust companion allows users to interact with their connected environment when the hands are occupied (e.g. cooking, driving, etc.), covered with gloves (e.g. biking) or dirty (e.g. cleaning, gardening, etc.). Bluemint Labs Bixi is the world’s first ultra-portable, fully contact-less gesture-control device for smart objects. Compact, light and robust, this innovation allows users to interact with their devices (smartphones, tablets, room lights, action cameras, etc.) intuitively even when their hands are occupied or covered. At the heart of this innovation lies intelligent gesture recognition. Users only need to make simple, natural hand movements above Bixi to manage their smartphones, tablets, personal computers or other connected objects such as Philips Hue or a GoPro. Bixi supports 7-8 intuitive hand gestures (to start with) that require no learning. Care has been taken to ensure a high level of accuracy and to avoid accidental commands. Bixi works directly with many existing applications, with a great battery life lasting for weeks. It will come with accessories like bike mounts and clips to expand the use cases to other activities such as sports and creative passions. In terms of design, Bixi draws its inspiration from a Chinese mythological turtle of the same name depicting robustness, wisdom and longevity. Its back is incredibly sturdy, made of hardened glass that communicates with users through light-emitting diodes (LEDs), for example when navigating using Maps application. Other uses include controlling your music, scrolling through your recipe, taking a selfie, controlling action cameras, connected lights, garage doors and much more. Contact N.

BUDDY protects your home, entertains all the family and helps you stay connected with the ones you love. Blue Frog Robotics, developer of BUDDY “The Companion Robot Accessible to Everyone”, was co-founded in 2014 by former CRIIF (Robotics Lab) Executive Director Rodolphe Hasselvander. The goal at Blue Frog Robotics is to design and develop robots that are accessible to everyone and help people live easier and safer, and have fun. BUDDY is a revolutionary, affordable companion robot that connects, protects, and interacts with each member of your family. BUDDY protects your home, entertains your kids, and helps you stay connected with the ones you love. At school, BUDDY introduces the world of digital technology to children – a fun & engaging learning process. BUDDY is also ideally suited for seniors and less mobile people who will not only benefit from BUDDY’s companionship but also from the robot’s ability to help with day-to-day activities. In addition to being a companion robot, BUDDY is also a modular platform that can be infinitely built upon and expanded with accessories. Because BUDDY is built on an open-source technology platform, developers across the world can easily collaborate to build hardware and software for it. Blue Frog Robotics chose recently crowdfunding as the route to market for BUDDY to give early adopters the chance to test BUDDY before it hits the mass market in 2016. Blue Frog Robotics exceeded its fundraising goal by more than six times - raising $617,830.

Our first product is a new way for everyone to make music: it is easy, personal and fun. It consists of a wearable and an App that turn movement into music. Phonotonic changes today the way we make, listen and enjoy music. PHONOTONIC: Changing the way we make, listen and enjoy music. Until now, there was only one way of making music: you had to be an expert, with your instrument or your laptop. Today with PHONOTONIC everyone can express their talent in a way that’s easy, personal and fun. PHONOTONIC changes the way we make, listen and enjoy music. The first product is a smart object that translates your dance moves - and basically all your moves - into beats. How does it work? The object talks to the App via Bluetooth® and tracks the way you move using motion sensors. The App then turns the data into music in real time. In the Solo mode, you can use one Phonotonic to control the beat and the melody of a given song, or let the App play along with you. You can remove the sensor from the object and place it somewhere else – bigger, smaller – or put in your shoes and rock out. The Duo mode lets you use two Phonotonic and split the rhythm and melody for more interactivity and fun. Phonotonic is for would-be musicians who can’t play instruments and also for performers and dancers looking for something fresh. The first products went on sale in December 2014 and sold out in three weeks. Following a rapid growth, PHONOTONIC is retailed today in more than 500 major stores in Europe, Tokyo and NYC. The goal for CES 2016 is twofold: develop the US Market distribution and unveil the next generation of their product.

Then it gets better: as you listen to music and interact with it, Prizm learns and remembers your tastes and habits. You’re alone on a working day morning? Prizm knows you’ll like Pop music. Coming back from work? It remembers you could appreciate some Jazz. Prizm rethinks the experience of enjoying music together. It recognizes you, your lover and your friends to adapt the music, according to your tastes. Thanks to sensors and algorithms, Prizm understands the mood in the room, to adapt the music accordingly.

LiV air purifier contains a breakthrough purification technology providing an unmatched efficiency: particulate matter, allergens, VOCs, smells, etc. are absorbed into a cartridge which captures tightly over 30 families of pollutants. Of course, LiV measures the air quality and informs you on your mobile about improvement. Purifying indoor air is critical at home and in your office: it is 10 times more polluted than outdoor, because it cumulates particulate matter, numerous chemical pollutions (due to cleaning products, paint, smoke, cooking …), virus, pollens and fungi. This generates bad smells, lack of concentration, but also allergies, asthma, cancers… Currently, 1/3 of population has breathing difficulties. It was 1/10 in the 80’s and it will be 1/2 in 10 to 15 years! Protecting the children with clean air is therefore critical. Air Serenity patented technology combines two exclusive innovations within a cartridge: a blend of specific « sponges » to capture more than 30 kinds of chemical pollutions (including formaldehyde and benzene), and a plasma flash to destroy microbes without releasing ozone. The technology, combined with a HEPA F7 filter, enables to capture all these pollutions during their very first pass in the cartridge: this unmatched efficiency lasts one year! LiV is connected to the cloud: a mobile App enables you to see the quality and improvement of air you are breathing, to pilot and program LiV, and to get dedicated advice. Scientific measurements are made understandable. LiV is eco-designed: bio-material is used, cartridges are 90% recyclable, and it only requires 30W to purify air in a 50 sq. meter room. It’s good for you; it’s good for the Planet!

Whatever happens (driving, maintenance, breakdown, etc.), AKOLYTTM gives you all the tips to be a SuperDriver! Drust was founded in 2014 by three friends and former colleagues from PSA Peugeot-Citroën (2nd European Car Maker): Michaël Fernandez (CEO), Pascal Galacteros (COO) and Florent Pignal (CTO). They have been working for seven years on Powertrain Engineering before taking the plunge into this exciting entrepreneurial adventure. Their vision? Happy drivers make cheaper, greener, safer and more enjoyable roads! That is why they decided to build drust.io, a driver-centric platform to connect drivers with their cars and the rest of the automotive ecosystem. Drust provides them with value-added services through an App so that they become superdrivers. With this mind they developed the live driving-coach feature. The App can also tell you what is going on under your hood and warns assistance in case of any problem to offer piece of mind for all drivers. And it works! Over a 7-month beta-test, they measured actual savings of 30% on gas consumption, equivalent to a reduction of 0.4 ton of CO2 emissions per year per driver over the beta-test.

It has been optimized to run on low cost processors and can thus be embedded on any type of electronic architecture. The tuning of the face recognition required 3 years of research in Artificial Intelligence, pushing away the scientific knowledge in this domain. The tools can extract in less than 30ms all the features of a face (gender, age or emotions) and identify the person. The technology can be embedded simply in any type of device whatever the camera or processor. It is unique because of the capacity to go further than the traditional compromise between precision and speed of the algorithms. Among the customers, Photomaton uses face analysis in its photo booths to check the conformity of ID pictures, and Netatmo has embedded identification in its connected camera, allowing the user to know who is at home.

Bluetens generates an electric current that, depending on frequency, intensity and duration, will treat you, relax you or fortify you in total freedom. Whether you need a natural pain killer, relaxation after a rough day, an active recovery solution or to fortify, Bluetens is the solution for you. Bluetens was born from a simple observation: we all suffer from more or less bearable pain and tensions created by our lifestyle. Not enough sport, too much computer, stress, poor posture, injury, there are several roots of the problem. The solutions are often quite demanding and may not be effective, that is why we created Bluetens. A connected health object, very small, extremely simple, medically certified and that uses electrotherapy to help you get better. How does electrotherapy work? Electrical stimulation created by Bluetens is a replica of a natural process controlled by the brain. Every time you move, your brain sends an electrical signal to your muscles to stimulate them. Bluetens does exactly the same except that we monitor several parameters, which will allow us to: • Relieve your pain • Relax by massaging you • Strengthen you by toning your muscles Electrostimulation is a training technique integral to the preparation of athletes, especially for their recovery. It is taught during physiotherapy studies and used extensively by practitioners. It is integrated in numerous pain killer protocols and it is an extremely efficient natural solution to relieve pain.
