About me

🎯 Based in Dublin as a Technical Expert in Innovation and Applied Research, I work to strengthen cooperation between the French and Irish innovation ecosystems.

🚀 Seconded by the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs to Enterprise Ireland, my role is to foster cross-border collaboration across research institutions, startups, and industry stakeholders — particularly within the framework of Horizon Europe and strategic bilateral initiatives.

🔬 My current focus areas include:

* Artificial Intelligence & Trusted AI

* Quantum technologies and EuroHPC

* Deeptech & Startup internationalisation

* Green Hydrogen and Sustainable Energy

* Cybersecurity and Digital Sovereignty

* Space

🤝 I connect researchers, entrepreneurs, innovation agencies, and public actors to:

* Facilitate joint projects and European consortia

* Support matchmaking and visibility of innovation actors

* Organise bilateral events and networking opportunities (e.g., French Tech Dublin, AI governance roundtables, Hydrogen side events)

📬 Always open to exchanges, insights, and connections that strengthen Franco–Irish ties in research and innovation. Feel free to reach out!
