Carnot TSN congratulates Ghaya Rekaya (Télécom Paris), researcher and founder of MIMOPT Technology, on winning the Séminaire PI 2023 prize!

The program included high value-added round tables on topics such as the challenges of the unitary patent system, intellectual property and AI, and the EU Data Act, as well as sector-specific round tables illustrating vertical approaches to IP (automotive, space and aeronautics). The event highlighted the importance of intellectual property in the economic performance of French industry, as well as in the promotion of innovations stemming from public research.

Top-level IP experts were on hand for this year's IP Grand Prix ceremony, rewarding the most important French patent filers over the year N-1, the strongest progress by segment (listed and large companies, SMEs, ETIs, research establishments, higher education and state institutions) as well as filings in emerging sectors such as AI, quantum, IoT and defense.

It was in this context that Ghaya Regaya, a researcher and entrepreneur at Télécom Paris, part of the Institut Mines-Télécom and the Carnot TSN institute, was awarded the DeepTech Category Prize for her start-up MIMOPT Technology. To create thisBtoB start-up in 2021 after 14 years of R&D, Ghaya Rekaya, an expert in digital communications, collaborated with Yves Jaouën, an expert in optical communications, and their former doctoral student Akram Abouseif.

MIMOPT Technology is developing an innovative Digital Signal Processing(DSP) solution to improve the throughput, performance and complexity of optical communication systems. The technologies developed by MIMOPT make it possible to increase throughputs in today's deployed optical fibers, thanks to innovative coding solutions that significantly reduce interference between polarization and wavelengths. With applications such as fiber optic communication, optical satellite communication, free-space optics and underwater communication, companies with optical communication systems can benefit from MIMOPT's knowledge, expertise and simulator to design or improve their optical communication systems. What's more, the MIMOPT team is also working on multi-mode and multi-core fibers, which will be the fibers of tomorrow. These will solve throughput problems, provided they don't generate prohibitive energy costs. MIMOPT proposes to address this issue with coding solutions that save the energy injected into the fibers.

Congratulations to Ghaya Regaya and her team on their SPI 2023 award!
