National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment

INRAE is France's public research institute for agriculture, food, and the environment, created on January 1, 2020, from the merger of INRA and IRSTEA. While its primary function is research, it actively supports the creation and development of startups originating from its research, such as Exeliom Biosciences. This is facilitated through its technology transfer subsidiary, INRAE Transfert, which manages the institute's technology portfolio and supports young companies.
