Believing in the right companies early is the whole job 🔭 This week, two companies we support joined the French Tech #Next40, the government’s selection of the 40 French scale-ups with the strongest potential to become world leaders: 🧑‍💻Quobly is building quantum computers on silicon. Their approach relies on the same semiconductor processes behind today’s chips, which could make quantum hardware far easier to manufacture at scale. 🐋 FLYING WHALES is reinventing the airship. Its LCA60T can carry up to 60 tonnes of cargo and load or unload while hovering, reaching remote sites without roads or heavy ground infrastructure. We have stood alongside the team since 2019. Two very different technologies, one shared trait: both are driving the industry forward with their pioneering spirit. Congratulations to the teams! ALIAD and Air Liquide are proud to share this road with you 👏
