My long‑standing involvement with the @Prix Jean Jerphagnon dedicated to innovation in optics and photonics, has shown me how transformative research can be when it is properly supported and how it is major to help scientists become entrepreneurs. At a time when artificial intelligence and technological shifts are reshaping our economies and societies, supporting academic research is essential: for innovation, for sovereignty, and for our collective future. This conviction is what led me to take on the responsibility of leading the new 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗣𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗿 of the Ardian Foundation . Through this initiative, our ambition is clear: 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵. To achieve this, we aim to build long-term partnerships with leading academic institutions, bridging fundamental research and applied perspectives in fields such as mathematics, physics, AI, innovation, and economics. In 2025, we supported four research projects with a dedicated budget of €1 million. By 2028, we aim to more than double this commitment to €2.8 million. Because when we invest in research, we invest in the future. For those interested in the ideas behind this commitment, our new Ardian Foundation website offers a clearer view of the journey we are building together → https://lnkd.in/eTB4Gb3b #ArdianFoundation #ScientificResearch #SocialMobility #Innovation #EuropeanSovereignty #MasteringChangeForLastingValue - Ardian

A warm thank you to the HEC Women in Business Club for coming to Ardian, it was an energizing evening, nurtured by sincere conversations, as well as thoughtful and grounded questions! As is often the case, more quietly but persistently, you subtly raised the question of legitimacy. The constant feeling of needing to prove and justify before allowing yourselves to aim high. It is striking how often this sits in the background, sometimes overshadowing ambition — and, over time, shaping trajectories more than it should. Attracting, retaining, and elevating women in private equity is essential. Our industry benefits meaningfully from your broader presence. Beyond the technical aspects of investment, we also discussed how AI is reshaping expectations early in careers. Preparing for these roles requires expressing certain skills earlier than before, including critical thinking, business judgment, communication, and, even more than ever, relational intelligence. AI should be a powerful lever for your generation, enabling you to accelerate your trajectories while fully expressing your potential. I truly hope to see many of you in the years to come, and I look forward to seeing how you shape the industry ! #WomenInBusiness #HECParis #Ardian

I recently published this op-ed in Les Échos. Beyond immediate energy disruptions, the conflict in the Middle East brings to the forefront a deeper issue: how global capital could be challenged, in the context of a lasting war. Gulf sovereign wealth funds - systemic actors managing close to $6 trillion in assets - have long provided stability to global financing. In an increasingly fragmented world, their investment choices are becoming instruments of strategic sovereignty, with lasting implications for the cost of capital, infrastructure, and the pace of energy and digital transition. In this uncertain and challenging time for the region, we extend our full support and solidarity to our GCC friends and partners, whose resilience stands out in a turbulent geopolitical environment. we remain firmly committed to the region - confident in the success of their investment and diversification strategies as well as in their pivotal role in the global economy. https://lnkd.in/evZiSCh7 Ardian MEDEF International Ministère de l'Europe et des Affaires étrangères Direction générale du Trésor (French Treasury) Bpifrance France Invest
