Three categories are available: start-up, innovation and co-design. The selection of the three “appointees” by category was made public, together with their descriptions.
Category Start-up
There are two projects for detecting defects or defect precursors, and one project a bit apart: a microprocessor to achieve European independence.
Category Innovation
There are two software programs, one of which is research-based, the other resulting from “industrial” integration, and THE general library for calculations: NAVPACTOS.
Published description of Navpactos
Navpactos is a C++ library that provides a language and toolbox for modeling and executing numerical simulation calculations. It unifies and simplifies the description of calculations, knows finite elements, meshes and sparse matrices, functions and fields; it builds and optimizes the corresponding computational chains “at run time” and knows how to derive them. To achieve this result, Naupacte has designed a tensor expression whose number of operators makes it possible to carry out the formal analyzes necessary for controls, optimization and derivation, in order to provide the indispensable ‘virtual computer’. Its richness makes the tensor, combined with the performance of its calculator, a communicable object at all the upper levels of the toolbox to ensure the unity of the programs and their simplicity by masking the calculations. Ergonomics and development power, reliability, performance and maintainability of the resulting code are the advantages given to the ambition of designers as to the optimization of personal skills and material resources. Its marketing phase begins, the product based on more than 3000 algebraic rules having been extensively tested by tens of thousands of unit tests for tensors, and hundreds of application cases.

Category co-design
Two projects involve AI but in very different ways, while another does not propose less than to pair Earth… digitally of course.
The audience Grand Prize
It shall be designated by public vote from among the 9 appointed.
