À propos de BEACOM | Équipe fondatrice et vision

The story behind BEACOM

BEACOM is a spin-off from the University of Montpellier, born at the intersection of materials science and life sciences.

The story begins in 2019, when Aurélie started collaborating with David and Julien on a biocontrol research project. Very quickly, the convergence of their approaches revealed the major potential of encapsulation as a technological lever for biocontrol.

In 2025, Stéphanie joined the adventure to structure the project and support the creation of the company, bringing expertise in business development and company process.

This dual scientific and entrepreneurial culture forms the foundation of BEACOM today. We convert strong scientific potential into ready to use solutions, matching industrial challenges of biocontrol.
