Stardust Over Las Vegas: The Aerodynamic Pulse of French Tech

As nearly one hundred French startups prepare to showcase their innovations at CES 2026 in Las Vegas, the moment feels charged with the same forward‑thrusting energy that powers Daft Punk’s “Aerodynamic” — a track where baroque virtuosity meets electronic precision. Much like the song’s sudden guitar‑solo lift‑off, French Tech arrives ready to break form, accelerate, and surprise, blending craftsmanship, experimentation, and unapologetic ambition. In the Nevada desert, these companies channel that retro‑futurist momentum, turning the global stage into a launchpad where French creativity, like Daft Punk’s signature sound, becomes both heritage and horizon.

Before the doors even open, CES 2026 already feels like a French Tech takeover.

Nearly one hundred startups — from neurotech to indoor solar — are crossing the Atlantic to show how France is shaping the next decade of innovation. And this year, the delegation arrives with a sharper identity: deeptech, greentech, accessibility, and automation as the new tricolour.

🧠 Yneuro — Brainwave Passwords for a Post‑Login World

Paris‑based Yneuro develops a biometric authentication system that uses EEG sensors to read a person’s unique brainwave patterns. Instead of typing a password or using a fingerprint, users simply put on a small sensor‑equipped device that captures their neural signature. At CES, the team lets visitors try the system themselves, showing how their brain activity can be converted into a secure login key. The idea is simple: make authentication both safer and easier by removing anything you need to remember or carry.

🔋 Dracula Technologies — Indoor Solar That Never Sleeps

Grenoble’s Dracula Technologies focuses on powering small electronic devices using indoor light. Their LAYER® V2.0 film is a thin, flexible material that can generate electricity even in very low light — the kind you find in offices, warehouses, or homes. Instead of relying on disposable batteries, sensors and IoT devices can run continuously using ambient light alone. At CES, the company presents prototypes like autonomous sensors and tracking devices to show how this technology works in real‑world conditions.

🧭 Artha (Seehaptic) — Touch‑Based Navigation for the Visually Impaired

Paris startup Artha (formerly Seehaptic) builds a navigation tool designed for blind and visually impaired users. Instead of audio instructions, the device uses small vibrations and tactile cues to indicate direction or obstacles. The goal is to offer a discreet, quiet, and intuitive way to move through unfamiliar spaces without relying on sound. At CES, Artha demonstrates how users can follow a route simply by feeling the guidance patterns on the device.

🏠 Smart Home, Greentech, Cyber & More — The Full Pavilion

The French Pavilion at CES 2026 unfolds like a miniature ecosystem of national innovation, bringing together six sectors that map the full ambition of French Tech. From smart home and lifestyle solutions to sport and entertainment experiences, from healthtech and greentech breakthroughs to cybersecurity and data‑management shields, and from business automation tools to the bold machinery of Industry 4.0, the pavilion acts as a living cross‑section of the country’s creative and industrial pulse. Each zone blends early‑stage disruptors with fast‑scaling contenders, forming a curated showcase designed to maximise visibility, spark partnerships, and project a distinctly French vision of the future onto the global stage.

CES 2026 French Pavilion lineup

France’s Quiet Rebrand at CES
France’s CES 2026 lineup quietly marks a shift: the pavilion is no longer about flashy gadgets but about deeptech with real‑world impact. Behind the scenes, Business France has steered the selection toward startups solving structural challenges — energy, accessibility, cybersecurity, automation — signalling a strategic rebranding of French Tech as a science‑driven innovation engine, not just a consumer‑tech showcase.
