More than a place,
a meeting point
Together, students, researchers, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders push the boundaries of knowledge.
A meeting point with the academic community
Our promises:
Talent from top-tier academic programs, closely connected to the industrial world.
Led by iXcampus in partnership with the Institut d’Optique Graduate School, Université Paris-Saclay, and the regional education authority, the Photon Hub project aims to create a comprehensive photonics education pathway — from vocational high school diplomas to PhDs — in the Île-de-France region. As part of the France 2030 initiative, the program will train 1,500 students by 2030 to meet the demands of a rapidly growing and highly competitive sector. In other disciplines, iXcampus works alongside universities and top-tier institutions to develop career-oriented programs on its campuses. Today, 1,200 students in design and engineering sciences attend our Saint-Germain-en-Laye campus daily.
Fundamental and applied research inspired by real-world industrial challenges.
By co-founding the Alain Aspect Chair alongside the Institut d’Optique and the University of Sherbrooke in Canada, iXcampus aims to immerse leading researchers within its startup ecosystem. This initiative is not intended to create an applied research chair or one dedicated to a specific industrial partner, but rather to strengthen fundamental research that is continuously enriched by real-world industrial challenges — through shared technical platforms and collaborative projects.
Driving innovation and market success through collaborative R&D projects
Starting from a technological challenge identified by industry, and through dedicated clusters, iXcampus brings together five to ten industrial players and startups around a shared technological and commercial roadmap — with each participant contributing its expertise and network. By aligning and combining their respective technological developments, these projects accelerate the market launch of a complementary, globally visible offering. Each collaborative project is led by iXcampus and co-funded by its members and public partners.
In 2025, iXcampus is launching the “Quantum Control 2030” project at its technical platforms in Saint-Germain-en-Laye. Dedicated to the control of quantum systems in cryogenic environments, the project is funded by the French IDEMO call for projects. Six industrial players in the field — Viqthor, Isentroniq, Radiall, Silent Waves, and SEDI-ATI — are united by a shared ambition: achieving industrial-scale control of quantum objects.
"Developing our 'Quantum Control 2030' consortium on iXcampus made a huge impact as we benefit from financed and shared laboratories with a dilution cryostat. All that coming with a co-pilot engineer for our project, marketing and communication assistance and a worldwide industrial market exposure reinforcement."
