SPARTA is an R&D program led by NEEXT Engineering, in collaboration with CNRS LRGP and Arabelle Solutions, a subsidiary of EDF Group, and a global leader in turbo-alternators for power plants.

In the SPARTA program, we are developing a significantly more compact and efficient technology for energy production from a decarbonized heat source. This innovative technology utilizes fluids patented by CNRS LRGP, which will be specifically employed in the turbines developed by Arabelle Solutions (EDF Group).

The program SPARTA receives support from the French government totaling nearly €10 million, of which €7,35 millions is allocated to NEEXT Engineering

The company

NEEXT ENGINEERING decarbonizes industries by integrating all their new energy needs.

The company accelerates its ambition by participating in the FRANCE 2030 “i-Démo 3” call for projects with its SPARTA R&D program.

In September 2023, our startup successfully raised funds from over 120 citizens in the northern Franche-Comté region and beyond, many of whom are industry engineers.

Currently, NEEXT ENGINEERING is patenting technologies that address the emerging energy requirements of industries.

Our roots trace back to the APSIIS association, which fosters economic activities by leveraging the skills of the France northern Franche-Comté region, specifically Belfort city.
