🌍 Where Academic Excellence Meets Scale

Why Next-GTM and FaddaNova operate bi-continentally.
Innovation doesn’t happen in isolation — it emerges from friction between deep research and applied execution.
The dual-site model (🇫🇷 Paris ↔ 🇦🇪 Abu Dhabi) was built to bridge that gap: combining European scientific excellence with Middle-Eastern scale, capital, and velocity.

Together, these ecosystems create a single pipeline — from discovery to industrial impact — where ideas are validated, financed, and deployed faster.

 
Ecosystem Map — Research ↔ Market
🧠 Research Axis (Europe)
Sorbonne University · SCAI · CEA-List · Kyutai · INRIA / CNRS Labs

⚙️ Market Axis (Gulf / Abu Dhabi)
TII (Technology Innovation Institute) · ADQ Ventures · Mubadala Labs · Hub71

↔ Transversal Bridge:
Applied AI Studios · Co-branded AI Chairs · Next-GTM Sprints

This bi-continental bridge transforms academic discoveries into funded, governed, and measurable ventures — with co-ownership between labs and market operators.

 
Value Proposition
⚡ Speed — Shorter feedback loops from research to pilot deployment.
💰 Funding Access — Dual pipelines: Bpifrance / EU in Paris, sovereign + venture funds in Abu Dhabi.
🌐 Cultural Complementarity — Deep-tech rigor meets scale-driven pragmatism.

Each side strengthens the other:
France brings method and governance, Abu Dhabi brings execution and expansion.

 
Cluster Governance
🏛️ Shared Steering Committees — Joint academic-industrial boards ensure balanced oversight and transparency.
🎓 Co-Branded AI Chairs — Long-term programs uniting open-science and proprietary tracks.
🧩 Dual-Site Coordination — Aligned playbooks, shared metrics, and rotating leadership between Paris and Abu Dhabi.

Governance is not symbolic — it is the mechanism that guarantees cross-border reproducibility, compliance, and alignment with the EU AI Act and UAE AI Ethics Guidelines.
