On December 4, 2025, at the IMT Atlantique Incubator – Brest campus, Breton entrepreneurial energy was palpable. Disruptive ideas, meaningful projects, and concrete commitments for the future set the pace for the last 2025 Coup de Pouce Competition final, organized by the Le Roch-Les Mousquetaires Foundation. ✨

The "Coup de Pouce" Competition brought together a jury composed of experts in higher education, innovation, finance, and entrepreneurship, including:

• Carole Osmond (IAE de Brest, University of Western Brittany)
• Fabrice Sourdonnier (former digital business leader, Cognix)
• Jean-Bernard Laizet (BPI France, Brest branch)
• Erwan Bescond (Technopôle Brest Iroise)
• Georges Premel-Cabic (business leader)

Chaired by Serge Le Carré, administrator of the Le Roch-Les Mousquetaires Foundation, this morning was orchestrated by Pierre Trémenbert from IMT Atlantique.

Emilia and Paul had 10 minutes to present their project, and they managed to convince the jury! 🥇 Indeed, DeepFoil won the 1st Prize, applauded for its potential and its alignment with the values of responsible innovation. This first prize allows the company to win a €10,000 boost to continue its work on intellectual property and establish national distribution of DeepFoil. 🐠
