Station F selected 40 startups for the eighth edition of its Future 40 list, choosing them based on results, growth and milestones rather than funding raised. AI dominates the cohort, with sovereign AI and physical AI highlighted as notable trends, alongside startups in hardware, robotics, developer tools and carbon capture. According to Station F, the selected companies have raised €110 million in total, while Arlequin AI completed the cohort’s largest round at €28 million in a Series A.

What problem it solves
Coding agents often default to legacy patterns because their training data contains substantial amounts of legacy code, which can produce bloated JavaScript where native web platform solutions are available. They may also know that a modern API exists without having enough real-world implementation patterns to apply it correctly in production-ready code.

The most direct way to give an Agent long-term memory is to write history into a database and retrieve a few relevant records when a new question arrives. This pipeline soon encounters two different requirements: a personal assistant needs to remember specific people, events, times, and preferences; a task Agent needs to learn from past actions what to do next. The former fears losing details to c…
