Startups testimonies
Édith Nuss, CEO and co-founder, Nextérité
“START@SystemX program enabled Nextérité to work alongside large companies on research and development programs directly serving their needs. In addition to its technical interest, the program enabled us better to understand the requirements of our partners Alstom and the RATP… and also gain better knowledge of their organizations! Last but not least, START@SystemX gave the opportunity of many meetings both in the project team, and with with high level professionals that were highly motivated by the possibilties and challenges of new technologies for industry and society; another opportunity was the commercial contacts beyond the project team, not least IRT SystemX’s largest partners.”, Édith Nuss
