Silver innov'

What Silver innov' does

Silver innov' is a French public business incubator and hôtel d'entreprises established in 2015 in Ivry-sur-Seine within the Grand-Orly Seine Bièvre territory. It operates as the first incubator in France dedicated specifically to the Silver Economy, serving startups developing solutions across Santé (Health), Vieillissement (Aging), and Handicap (Disability). Its leadership comprises President Marie Pieron, Director Isabelle Marchand, and Deputy Director Anouk Serreau, operating with a small team of 7 employees.

Its core offering centers on physical infrastructure: 4,000m² of modular plug-and-play space including private offices, 50m² P1 biosafety laboratories, coworking desks, meeting rooms, conference facilities, cyber café, and event spaces accessible 24/7. This is complemented by the Accompagnement Sur-Mesure program providing workshops on financing, commercial development, marketing, HR, and fiscal matters, plus access to a network of 40+ expert partners. In July 2025 it added La Verrière inclusive, a 15-station accessible coworking space built with universal design principles and 80% repurposed materials for workers with disabilities. It also co-operates the Autonom innov' three-phase acceleration program (créathon, accelerator, 6-month incubator) with Grand-Orly Seine Bièvre and Créative Valley.

The business model is subscription-based rental of physical space and provision of programmatic services to Silver Economy startups, with selection governed by a formal Comité d'Agrément. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the organization is funded primarily by public sources including the Grand-Orly Seine Bièvre territorial authority, the European Union (FEDER), the Île-de-France Region, and Malakoff Humanis/Agirc-Arrco. Distribution is direct, regional (Île-de-France), and supplemented by ecosystem partnerships with Cap Digital, Gérond'if, Silver Valley, FuturÂge–Pôle Charles Foix, and university and disability-employment partners.

Direct peers

• Wilco: Paris-based startup accelerator running programs across multiple sectors including health. Listed as an active partner of Silver innov' for afterwork events and ecosystem development, and directly comparable as a French early-stage acceleration platform.
• Paris&Co: Paris-based incubator network operating multiple thematic programs including health, social innovation, and inclusive employment. Directly comparable as a French public/private incubator offering sector-specialized support, office space, and ecosystem access.
• Agoranov: Public incubator located in Paris (Île-de-France Region-supported) focused on deep-tech and health startups. Closely comparable public-sector business incubator with labs and tailored support for science-based founders.
• Euratechnologies: Major French incubator and accelerator based in Lille offering thematic programs (including healthtech) and physical hosting. Comparable as a large regional incubator with public backing, similar tenant-selection processes and program structure.

Broad incumbents

• Station F: Largest startup campus in the world, located in Paris (13th arrondissement). While not specialized in the Silver Economy, it hosts health and biotech programs that overlap with Silver innov' tenants and competes for the same pool of French early-stage founders.
• Bpifrance Le Hub: Bpifrance's startup acceleration program offering workshops, mentorship, and ecosystem access across France. Comparable as a publicly supported startup support program providing business acceleration services to French early-stage companies.

Emerging players

• Créative Valley: Network of French startup incubators and accelerators, co-founder with Silver innov' of the Autonom innov' program. Comparable as an incubator-network operator focused on HealthTech and autonomy sectors.
• Gérond'if: Gérontopôle d'Île-de-France, the regional aging-research cluster that partners with Silver innov' on ethics events and afterwork sessions. Comparable as a regional ecosystem actor supporting senior-focused innovation but without physical incubator infrastructure.
• Silver Valley: Île-de-France Silver Economy cluster ('do tank') that co-organizes Bourse Charles Foix and Silver Valley Week with Silver innov'. Closely tied to Silver innov' through partnership but operates as a cluster and event organizer rather than a physical incubator.

Regional players

• Le Carburateur: Lyon-based incubator (Euromédecine-Cancéropôle CLS) supporting health and biotech startups. Comparable regional French public-sector incubator offering lab and office hosting to life-science founders outside Île-de-France.
