As a founding partner of Tech&Fest, Université Grenoble Alpes reaffirms its role as a major player in the Grenoble innovation ecosystem. Its participation in the event reflects its ongoing commitment to research of excellence that is open to society and provides solutions to major contemporary challenges.
At its booth, UGA will feature a demonstration area where visitors can meet researchers, entrepreneurs, and project leaders, and learn how the work conducted at UGA translates into concrete innovations. Health, energy, digital technology, and emerging technologies: the diversity of the topics presented will illustrate UGA’s ability to bridge the gap between academic research, innovation, and societal needs.
Also present at the booth will be the business development representatives from the Grenoble Alpes University Innovation Hub, led by UGA, as well as continuing education advisors, who will be available to address companies’ inquiries.
Designed as a place for meetings and exchanges, the UGA booth will also serve as a space for collective reflection, inviting the public to engage with university teams on current scientific, technological, and societal issues, in a context where the question of sovereignty takes center stage.
At the same time, Université Grenoble Alpes will speak in several sessions on the main stage and in the agora to share its expertise and feedback on innovation. It will also be present in other areas of the festival, notably the IForum, to showcase innovative projects originating from its laboratories and its support for research commercialization.
Through its commitment as a founding partner of Tech&Fest 2026, alongside local authorities and the CEA, Université Grenoble Alpes reaffirms its ambition to actively contribute to the development of innovative solutions, strengthen ties between research and society, and participate in building scientific and technological responses to tomorrow's challenges.
