The creation of X-UP and X-Tech

Founded in 2015, the X-UP Accelerator and the X-Tech Incubator are located within the DRAHI X-Novation Center, École Polytechnique’s Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation. The Accelerator offers a six-month program aimed at leaders of high-tech projects who wish to receive guidance in building the foundations of their future business, while the X-Tech Incubator is geared towards innovative and technological start-ups at an already advanced stage of development. Start-ups stay for an average of two years, growing within the École Polytechnique ecosystem, during which time they get the chance to meet with the multiple stakeholders and partners of l’X. The Accelerator and Incubator are open to project leaders from within and outside of École Polytechnique.
