EffiBLUE and the M.A.G.I.C project: a major breakthrough in nanomaterials
Côte d’Azur start-up EffiBLUE, leader of the M.A.G.I.C consortium (Matériaux Avancés pour l’Innovation en Graphène et Cristallographie), has announced a technological breakthrough with the design of a state-of-the-art machine dedicated to the manufacture of Ginestium©. This innovative nanomaterial, combining graphite and diamond, offers exceptional performance in terms of electrical conductivity, reflectance and corrosion resistance, revolutionising the telecommunications, aerospace and energy sectors.
A government-backed project
With a total budget of several million euros, funded by the French government via the France 2030 programme and Bpifrance, M.A.G.I.C aims to position France as a leader in the field of advanced nanomaterials. This initiative will help to accelerate industrial decarbonisation and strengthen technological sovereignty.
The consortium partners
The project is being carried out in collaboration with :

EffiBLUE: Improving Ginestium© growth processes.
Avantis Group: Design and management of specialised enclosures.
PIIM – CNRS UMR 7345: Research and advanced characterisation of Ginestium©.
SYMES (SYNOV Group): Development and optimisation of radio antennas using this new material.

A disruptive and sustainable material
Ginestium© is an alternative to rare metals, reducing the environmental impact of technology industries and limiting mining. It also saves energy and production costs, making its adoption strategic for several industrial sectors.
Prospects and applications
The main objective of the project is to develop an R&D machine for producing Ginestium© in an optimised and reproducible way. This advance will facilitate its integration into industrial applications such as :

Radio antennas for telecommunications and aerospace.
Electrodes for hydrogen production and water treatment.
Electronic components and semiconductors.

Towards French technological sovereignty
The M.A.G.I.C project illustrates France’s commitment to the industrial and energy transition. By developing a high-potential nanomaterial, EffiBLUE and its partners are paving the way for a new era of innovation and competitiveness on the international stage.
