Collective Intelligence Ecosystems
Connecting innovation, industry, capital and public stakeholders
Blumorpho designs and leads strategic collective initiatives bringing together innovators, corporates, investors and public stakeholders to address shared strategic challenges.
These initiatives focus on selected deeptech domains or verticals offering strong market growth and long-term value creation potential.
What this action addresses
This action is designed to:
Build targeted opportunity pipelines reflecting precise technological, business and market objectives
Reduce dispersion by focusing only on validated, differentiated and decision-relevant opportunities
Move from broad exploration to actionable shortlists supporting engagement, collaboration or investment.
These initiatives are designed to accelerate understanding of complex market, technology, industrial and investment dynamics, while reinforcing leadership through active contribution.
They create a shared frame of reference that enables alignment, strategic collaboration and investment pathways across ecosystems.
How we work
Our work is structured around a few core building blocks:
- Selection of relevant use cases
We identify concrete use cases where collaboration, innovation adoption or investment is at stake. These may focus on specific technologies, product concepts or applications selected for their strategic relevance. - Focused interaction formats
We design high-level discussions, expert juries, workshops and curated one-to-one meetings. - Structuring interactions over time
Initiatives are designed to operate over time, allowing participants to test assumptions, refine positioning and progressively move towards collaboration or investment. - High-level, time-efficient gatherings
Each year, we organise one-day, high-impact gatherings designed to concentrate discussions and accelerate alignment among participants.
Our uniqueness
Blumorpho enables participants to confront their technologies, positioning and ambitions with the expectations of strategic and financial partners.
Interactions are designed in a human-centric and highly curated format, facilitating meaningful introductions and high-quality discussions that can lead to concrete collaboration.
Hosting and supporting collective intelligence initiatives
Hosting or supporting a collective initiative is a way to exercise leadership through contribution, rather than promotion.
Case examples
Below are representative examples of projects delivered under this line of action.
Case – INPHO Venture Summit — What’s next to invest in deeptech
Decision context
Early-stage deeptech investors play a critical role in identifying opportunities early enough to build competitive returns, yet they remain limited in number and investment capacity, particularly in hardware-intensive fields.
Our contribution
Blumorpho designed INPHO Venture as a collective initiative by and for early-stage deeptech investors, structured around a central question: What’s next to invest in deeptech?
INPHO Venture brings together leading private investors to:
- share forward-looking analyses,
- confront investment theses,
- detect emerging investment and co-investment opportunities at an early stage.
INPHO Venture Summit is organised in collaboration with Alpha-RLH and CEA, with the support of Région Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Bordeaux Métropole and the CCI de Bordeaux.
Outcome
- A unique international network of early-stage deeptech investors actively sharing analyses and investment perspectives
- Identification of emerging investment opportunities and co-investment dynamics
- Increased interest from LPs in early-stage deeptech investment
- INPHO Venture Summit recognized as “the best deeptech investment forum” by Eric Benhamou, founder of BGV, and established as a biennial rendezvous for deeptech investors
- Contribution to Bordeaux and Nouvelle-Aquitaine’s visibility as a leading deeptech investment and industrialisation hub

Case – Financing Maritime Innovation & Infrastructure for Climate and Ocean
Decision context
The transition of port cities and maritime infrastructures represents a major opportunity to combine industrial transformation, climate action, sovereignty, innovation deployment and improved living conditions for citizens.
Our contribution
Blumorpho designed and operates Financing Maritime Innovation & Infrastructure for Climate and Ocean, an initiative bringing together innovators, corporates, investors, ports, cities and public institutions.
The initiative aims to:
- confront innovation solutions with real operational, infrastructure and financing constraints,
- identify collaboration opportunities across the maritime and port-city value chain, and between port cities globally
- explore financing mechanisms adapted to the needs of industry and territories.
The initiative is developed in partnership with the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation and AIVP, the International Association of Ports & Cities
Outcome
- Creation of a trusted space for dialogue between public and private stakeholders across the maritime ecosystem
- Identification of collaboration and investment pathways supporting climate-resilient port-city transformation
- Annual high-level gathering positioning maritime decarbonisation and port-city transition as strategic investment topics
In 2025, the initiative took place in Monaco during UNOC, in preparation for the Blue Economy Finance Forum.
