Koddex Is Joining The Square: EuraTechnologies Selects Us for Its First Accelerator Cohort
Big news to share. On 2 July 2026, EuraTechnologies gathered its ecosystem in Lille for the final jury of the very first cohort of The Square, its new accelerator sponsored by Franck de Saintignon, CHRO of Kiabi. Out of 83 applications and 21 finalists who pitched, the jury selected 11 laureates instead of the planned 10, and Koddex is one of them. Our CEO Stéphane Dicostanzo took the stage to pitch the Engineering Operating System. Watch the pitch below.
The numbers behind the selection
The Square opened with 83 applications. 21 projects were shortlisted to pitch in front of the jury. After the pitches, the jury had the hard job of deciding who would officially join the program, and after real debate, they landed on 11 startups instead of 10.
The eleven laureates span very different problems: consumer social, energy storage materials, 3D-to-digital-twin AI, fall prevention for vulnerable people, collaborative data platforms for distribution, customer-review aggregation, interactive piano learning, field-team performance analytics, clinical-trial patient recruitment, and food-trade production management. Koddex sits in that group as the Engineering Operating System that structures, secures, and exploits engineering data.
We are proud to be selected alongside such a strong cohort, and grateful to EuraTechnologies and to the jury (Franck de Saintignon, Louis Coulon, Hélène Clary, Arnaud Laurent, Hélène Cannard, and Emmanuel Durand) for the time and the scrutiny they gave every project.
What The Square actually unlocks
An accelerator is only worth the doors it opens. The Square is built around commercial acceleration and international reach, and two parts of the program matter most to us.
A seminar at Stanford. The laureates travel to Stanford for an immersive seminar: access to the methods, the network, and the go-to-market thinking of one of the world's densest tech ecosystems. For a company selling into regulated hardware industries, exposure to that environment is a direct input into how we scale, position, and sell.
A shadow comex. Each laureate gets access to a shadow executive committee: seasoned operators and leaders who sit alongside the founding team like a sparring executive board. The goal is blunt and useful: pressure-test the strategy, sharpen the commercial engine, and accelerate business development with people who have already built and scaled at the level we are aiming for.
Together, the Stanford seminar and the shadow comex are exactly the two levers a company at our stage needs: sharper go-to-market execution at home, and a credible on-ramp to shine internationally.
Why this matters for Koddex
Koddex is the foundation of the engineering system for hardware teams. We let organizations model their business processes, model the data those processes require, and instantiate that data in an environment that holds its structure, with traceability, locking and revision, governance, and impact analysis built in. The result is an Engineering Operating System: a single backbone where requirements, BOMs, tests, and compliance data stay connected and audit-ready.
We are a year and a half old, in production, and already being deployed by an industrial unicorn across three continents. The technology and the onboarding are proven. What The Square accelerates is the next chapter: turning that traction into scale, and taking the Engineering Operating System to teams in robotics, medtech, aerospace, nuclear, and advanced manufacturing well beyond France.
Congratulations to the whole cohort, and thank you to everyone who pitched. Now the real work of the program begins.
