In the wake of v0.1

During the first incubation session, seven companies were created. Among them were Mobeye, which came third in the 2013 Microsoft Imagine Cup France and MotionLead, which started to develop internationally, in Europe and in the USA. As for Modizy, the company has just opened to the general public its social shopping marketplace for women. We wish the new incubated startups similar success.
