The French Pavilion, organized by La French Tech and Business France, at the 2025 InnoVEX at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Halls 1 and 2 on May 20 and goes through May 23, saw the return of six companies featuring products on the naturalization of human-machine interaction, a focus on sustainability and “green energy,” and deep tech capabilities.

Dracula Technologies, with its LAYER organic photovoltaic (OPV) technology converting ambient light to power low-power indoor Internet of Things (IoT) devices or other applications, as well as ITEN’s cobalt and heavy solvent-free solid-state lithium micro-batteries, highlights French companies’ continued focus on sustainability.

Similarly, Iten’s microbatteries, aiming to provide power and energy density, and Dracula’s OPV tech, underscore French companies’ moving away from traditional software as a service business model and developing deep tech capabilities.

In terms of facilitating human-machine interaction, Advanced Magnetic Interaction’s (AMI) patented Gradient Magnetostatic Sensing technology seeks to, according to AMI sales manager Denis Matias, reinvent the workspace and bridge the digital and analog.

The technology comes in different forms — a strip that can be attached almost anywhere, from walls, tables, glass panels, to interactive displays — and pads with inbuilt functions that would facilitate user actions during meetings, such as zooming in, making notes, or using the stylus as a pointer.

Nanomade Labs’ ultra-thin and flexible sensors, used on automobile dashboards and smart chairs, can detect touch, force, and deformation on any surface, even metal, and are fully customizable, with durability guaranteed.
