3rd edition : January 26th 2026,
at Institut Curie
The winning team of the SECOND edition is putting its title back on the line!
Join us for a unique theatrical improvisation match, where the promotion of research takes on a new dimension!
Same format: 3 teams of 3 candidates, formed in advance. Each team, composed of an Entrepreneur / Researcher, an Investor and a representative of a technology transfer organization – where each does not play their role – will compete in comparative improvisation around a point of negotiation of a letter of intent.
Between experience, fantasies and realities, the players will stage the funny situations – or less! – of the negotiations, divergences and perspectives that form the backstage of innovation and reveal the different points of view.
The winning team will be elected by applause, and the refereeing, according to the rules of theatrical improvisation, will allow the orchestration of an animation of approximately 1h15, punctuated by dynamic exchanges with the guests. The evening will continue around a friendly cocktail.
Stay tuned to discover every week the talents of #LImprodelaValo, where innovation and improvisation meet!
