Antoine Alléno Association IMPACT Program (France)

They are organizing IMPACT, a one-day public event to be held in Paris in February 2025. The aim of IMPACT is to help educate users about the risks associated with mobility and to lower the number of young people who die on the roads each year.

As part of the day’s activities, an exhibition area will be dedicated to cutting-edge technological solutions where all the players, from startups to the biggest corporations, will be able to discuss, demonstrate and share their innovations, with the sole aim of advancing technology to reduce the number of deaths on the roads as quickly as possible.

Startup Challenges

• Challenge 1: Solutions that prevent accidents
  • Expected Solutions:
    • Technological innovations or innovative approaches that anticipate dangers and actively intervene, particularly with the driver, to prevent accidents. This may include advanced driver assistance systems, re-use of data about high-risk areas, intelligent infrastructures, vehicle control devices or any other solution capable of preventing such accidents.
• Challenge 2: Solutions that limit the impact and protect drivers/users, whatever their mode of transport, in the event of an accident.
  • Expected Solutions:
    • Solutions based on technologies or materials that better absorb or disperse energy during an impact. These solutions could include innovations in vehicle design, improved personal safety equipment, or intelligent road safety systems.
• Challenge 3: Prevention solutions that encourage responsible driving behaviour.
  • Expected Solutions:
    • The expected solutions should promote safe and responsible driving through applications or in-vehicle systems that encourage sound practices and responsible driving. The aim is to transform the driving experience to create a real and lasting change in driver behavior.
