EMPOWER Université Paris-Saclay is a free event, open to all, showcasing design, engineering, science, and emerging technologies. With over 30 booths and interactive workshops led by our guests, who will also share their technological creations, this event offers a unique opportunity to discover innovations in 3D printing, bioinformatics, augmented reality, and much more.
At the heart of this event are La Fabrique of Centrale Supélec and the FabLab UPSACLAY, collaborative 1000m² spaces dedicated to innovation. Under the direction of Romain DI VOZZO and Alexis Kobassian, these spaces allow students, researchers, and entrepreneurs to prototype their projects with the help of cutting-edge equipment.

Among our creators at #EMPOWER, you will find Selena Pere, a graduate of FabLab UPSACLAY and a designer passionate about the intersection of product design and digital technologies. Among her flagship projects at the FabLab, she developed a system allowing autistic individuals to control machines by breath. You can find her at the booth KAKTĂś to see and discuss her other creations, such as arcade machines and cardboard projectors, where she will also offer workshops on her other creations.

Also present at the event will be Inna Pykhova and Artem Perov, the creators of Lprint, who aim to revolutionize the manufacturing of electronic circuits. Their innovation, incubated at Inria Startup Studio, adapts printed circuits to the shape of objects, whether flat or complex—an idea that is already well-developed. But what Inna and Artem propose is different: the innovation here lies in the principle of adapting the circuit to be printed to the object's design, rather than the other way around. This solution, hosted at FabLab UPSACLAY for 2024-25, allows for the production of functional PCBs in a single printing process, thus facilitating the design of integrated electronic devices.

Finally (and most importantly!), we will present the project by the two engineers Mejdi Nciri and Vivien Henry, who developed Ozirma, an open-source and affordable infrared spectroscopy sensor, making recycling accessible to small plastic waste recycling facilities. This device reduces the cost of this technology tenfold (existing solutions cost up to €100k) and offers a portable and frugal solution – Ozirma can be manufactured in a fab lab for just €300, thus providing an autonomous solution for sustainable local recycling. Their upcoming fundraising aims to finance a first series of demonstrators, so if you work in plastic waste recycling, if you want to support their project, or if you are simply passionate about sustainability and recycling, visit the #Ozirma stand this week!
Each project presented at #EMPOWER embodies an innovative vision, driven by passionate experts, ready to share their expertise through interactive workshops and stands.
