The ALPHA-RLH 2025 Member Forum: 20 years of positive vibes!

The Members' Forum was held on June 5 in the magnificent setting of Château Grattequina near Bordeaux.

The 2025 edition, which took place in front of some 250 participants, had a special flavor as it celebrated the cluster's 20th anniversary. While the cluster remains firmly focused on the future, the day provided an opportunity to pause for a moment and reflect on some significant key figures.

Since 2005, ALPHA-RLH has achieved the following:
- 300 members
- 1,669 innovation projects supported, assessed, and certified
- 776 projects funded
- 108 companies created
- 62 companies established

Attended by former presidents of the cluster, this forum featured several highlights:
- The General Assembly: review of activities in 2024 and outlook for 2025.
- Speech by Alain Rousset, President of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region.
- Two keynote speeches:
> Yann Gérard, GenF, on the TARANIS project: nuclear fusion by inertial confinement.
> Pierre Faucoup, The Exploration Company: development, manufacture, and operation of Europe's first and only reusable spacecraft.
- A pitch competition for members, won by the company Ximed.
- A showroom space giving 24 organizations the opportunity to showcase their expertise.

We would like to thank the partners of this event: SPIE Nucléaire, Amplitude Laser, and CEA/Cesta.
