Editor's note This programme could be considered anecdotal and promotional. It can be so if the accompanying measures are not provided or if there is an incompatibility of attitude between these winners and the Administration. On the other hand, the programme can be a stimulus by helping the winners to overcome difficulties, to combine skills, to give them recognition (or a label) that will serve them in other relationships. As this is the first attempt to stimulate young companies in the energy transition, we cannot prejudge what will happen. We can only hope that these twenty winners will at least receive a boost and above all that a favourable climate will be created around them.
