The Région Sud is the #1 partner for ambitious companies and dynamic entrepreneurs, making the South of France a land of innovation!

 

For the 8th year running, risingSUD, Région Sud, and their institutional partners the Aix-Marseille-Provence Metropolis, the Nice Côte d’Azur Metropolis, and the Sophia Antipolis Agglomeration Community, provided support so the region’s most innovative companies could participate in the renowned CES technology show in Las Vegas.

 

The 2025 edition of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), the world’s premier technology event, saw 14 fast-rising regional start-ups* fly off to Las Vegas where they benefited from a prestigious showcase and an unprecedented spotlight.

 

At CES Unveiled, which is held before the official opening of the trade show, regional companies shone brightly and helped raise the profile of the innovation ecosystem in the South of France:

 

- BIOMITECH, UNISTELLAR, and DATAGREEN received Innovation Awards

- AQUALUNG received the prestigious Best of Innovation Award

 

These awards recognized the innovative and disruptive ideas and technological solutions being developed by regional start-ups, which won four of the six awards taken home by the French delegation.

 

Not only did the regional start-ups come back to France with fresh inspiration, they also had address books full of contacts and great international business opportunities!

 

Media across the South of France has already praised the superb visibility of the regional delegation in Las Vegas.

 

CES 2025 also gave risingSUD the opportunity to meet innovative international companies and opened doors to new economic prospects!
