Winners

Check out the three winners of the 2026 Audace Competition, the audience’s favorites at the finals on May 5 at Audencia ✨

Mazine ZAOUAT - SignSight

Intrepid Winner

The project in a nutshell

"SignSight is a French sign language communication solution designed for institutions. Using AI and a 3D avatar, it enables immediate communication between reception staff and deaf individuals, without having to wait for an interpreter. Our mission: to make accessibility simple, reliable, and practical in everyday life.”

How did this project come about?

"SignSight was born out of a simple yet stark observation: in France, access to public services remains difficult for deaf people. As a former translator, I have always faced language barriers. I wanted to create a practical, tech-driven, and people-centered solution to enable immediate communication without having to rely on an interpreter every time."

Jules SCHVARTZMAN - Corpo! le jeu

Explorer Winner

The project in a nutshell

"Corpo! is a card game based on bluffing and challenges, centered around workplace clichés. Two teams battle for control of the company: the toxic managers—ready to fire everyone to “cut costs”—and the employees—HR, Accounting, IT, Marketing, Interns… determined to bring down the hierarchy. But be careful: no one knows who’s who."

How did this project come about?

"The game isn't a matter of chance: it's the result of careful reflection on the corporate world, on the clichés that are so prevalent in the workplace, on existing injustices, and on practices that are still widespread but should be eliminated. Based on these observations, we made a simple decision: to turn them into humor, irony, and ridicule. In short, to make people “laugh.”

Anne HUC - Association Providenti'elles

Game changer Winner

The project in a nutshell

"Providenti'elles works to combat the isolation women face after a life-altering event by providing day centers with a ‘home-away-from-home’ atmosphere. In our centers, women rebuild their lives both personally and professionally.”

How did this project come about?

"In my family, some women have been isolated. Wounded by life, they found themselves in a destructive loneliness. The effects have spanned several generations, leaving them scarred. Since I love taking action and launching projects, I came up with a simple and effective solution to ensure that women facing life’s hardships receive support and can rebuild their lives together.”
