The Heritage Incubator Explores the Ecological Transition

Workshop proposed by the Incubator of the Centre des Monuments Nationaux As the leading cultural and tourism operator in France, the Centre des Monuments Nationaux has launched over 30 innovative projects through the Heritage Incubator, created in 2018 to help shape the heritage of tomorrow. Since 2022, the Incubator has focused on supporting ecological and social transition through its 5th cohort, by recruiting entrepreneurs to tackle these challenges within the heritage sector and to experiment directly in CMN sites. On the occasion of the launch of the 6th cohort’s call for projects, this workshop will give the floor to the five start-ups that joined the Incubator last September, to share their feedback and the synergies created with the monuments. FarmCube raises awareness about living systems through modular cultivation chambers. Stations-E connects soft mobility and heritage discovery by deploying electric vehicle charging stations at cultural sites. Tamanoir explores digital sobriety by offering immersive, sound-based storytelling experiences. Urban Canopee brings nature back into urbanized spaces with plant-based structures designed for high-temperature zones. Finally, Zen-T is developing fully green data centers to support the digital infrastructure of tomorrow’s heritage. Speakers:
