Neptune x VivaTech: looking back on the final

On Wednesday, June 17, Neptune was on the Pitch Studio stage at VivaTech for the final of the Next Startupper Award.

As a reminder, Neptune is the AI that supports lifeguards by detecting the first signs of drowning in real time, saving precious seconds when rescuing victims.

Reaching the last 6 finalists out of more than 500 applications from all over the world was far from a given. Seeing our vision boosted and validated by such an event makes us immensely proud.

A jury that listened

A big thank you to our jury for their feedback and attention:

Louise Derriey

Thanks also to Louise Le Vourch and Clémentine Fortuné for organizing the event.

But what struck us most was the incredible level of the other finalists: we were genuinely impressed by the quality of their projects and the strength of their pitches!

What's next

The trophy narrowly escaped us, but this summer we're heading to the beaches to test our solution in real conditions and keep iterating. The adventure is speeding up, and this is only the beginning!
