The Legacy and Sustainability plan for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games — 24 Resilience is gradually becoming a part of Paris 2024’s environmental strategy through various projects. Initial work has begun with internal and external contacts; for instance, with the Venues and Infrastructure department, resilience constitutes an area to analyse the environmental impacts of venues and is one of the general eco-design principles for temporary infrastructure that will make up the “Sustainable Design Guide”. A formal resilience strategy is scheduled to be drawn up in 2022. PROMOTING THE DEVELOPMENT OF INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS Although a number of solutions already exist to achieve the environmental ambitions of Paris 2024, others are lacking on the scale of the Games. That is why the Paris 2024 organising committee has turned to innovation to mitigate the environmental impact of the Games and develop solutions that can be used well beyond 2024, with a focus on other markets and needs. WINNERS IN THE SPECIAL ‘OLYMPIC AND PARALYMPIC GAMES’ CATEGORY OF THE FOURTH I-NOV COMPETITION SUPPORTED BY THE INVESTMENTS FOR THE FUTURE PROGRAMME On 3 July 2019, the French State, in collaboration with Paris 2024, launched a call for innovative projects to contribute to organising the Games in an environmentally friendly way. Several measures from the Investments for the Future Programme are being used: • the “Demonstrators of clean off-grid energy production solutions” call for proposals; • the fourth i-Nov innovation competition. • On 9 November 2020, the French General Secretariat for Investment (SGPI) announced the eight winners: • five in the “Environmental Transition” subcategory; • three in the “Digital” subcategory. Receiving a total of up to around €3.5 million in support from the French State, these companies all have the potential to provide innovative solutions to Paris 2024, our partners, stakeholders and/or the world of sport in France and abroad.
