- Saqara — Saqara is a digital construction and infrastructure bid management platform.
- Ecov - — Ecov is a start-up expert real time carpooling lines. Ecov accompanies businesses and communities in achieving carpool solutions.80% of trips in France are made by private car. This has huge environmental and economic consequences – in France private cars account for 16% of greenhouse gas emissions and eat up 14% of the average household budget.Reliance on cars is also a major social concern, with 54% of people living on a low income having to turn down work due to lack of transport. Moreover, on a day-to-day basis, the average car carries just 1.3 people, meaning that the road transport system (roads + vehicles + users + networks) is not being used efficiently.Carpooling (sometimes also referred to as lift-sharing, car-sharing or ride-sharing) is one solution. However, although carpooling is now a popular choice for long journeys, only 3% of day-to-day trips are made using conventional, pre-booked carpooling services. We believe we can change this.To change behaviours and reduce the number of solo drivers on the roads, we need to re-think how carpooling works. The constraints inherent in pre-booked carpooling are a barrier to uptake. That’s where our new concept – the carpooling line – comes in. Designed to operate like a typical bus line, with a designated route and stops, it allows people to carpool spontaneously, without booking. Drivers make their trip as usual, leaving whenever they want and picking up passengers along the way. At peak times on our busiest lines, passengers wait no longer than 5 minutes for a ride, just like on a high-frequency bus line.

Teachers can create a new class in just minutes, and they invite parents to access posts in the class feed including announcements, homework, videos, pictures of activities, polls, events, documents, and more.Klassroom’s level of parent engagement is outstanding: more than 90% are monthly active users. Parents can react to posts, contact the teacher for appointments, or initiate private conversations using tools that are designed to strengthen parent-teacher relationships while protecting the teacher’s time. Klassroom can translate all posts and private messages between parent and teacher into 100 different languages, and Klassroom can also accommodate the visually impaired. Every parent or guardian can be involved — even across multiple households.Klassroom co-founders Frank-David Cohen and Damien Rottemberg have been friends since childhood and planned that one day they would build something together to make a positive difference in the world. That opportunity came in 2016 when both were divorced dads who found themselves distanced from the education of their children and wanting to be better connected.In Paris and New York respectively, Frank-David and Damien provided the first Klassroom app prototype to the teachers of their young children. The result was the same on both sides of the Atlantic: enthusiastic adoption by the teacher and a 95% parent view rate of all classroom communication.By listening closely to teachers’ needs, Klassroom has maintained a nearly perfect satisfaction rating. The Klassroom app is now used in thousands of English, French and Spanish-speaking classrooms across 30 countries.
