Non-profit (Loi 1901) · Projet Atlas Foundation

Innovation
belongs to humanity

We protect, develop and share alternative technologies for an energy future that is free, open and accessible to all.

Our manifesto

The technologies that could change the world are confiscated, patented, smothered. We exist to reverse this dynamic — to protect innovation, to free it, and to pass it on.

Just as Atlas carried the world on his shoulders, we bear the collective responsibility of preserving the discoveries that belong to all of humanity — not to corporations.

Our association is a legal, technical and human shield — an ecosystem where the boldest ideas find protection, resources and community to come to life.

The situation

Why
we exist

Technological monopolies are not inevitable. They stem from a collective void that we are determined to fill.

01 / PROBLEM

Innovation is privatized

Offensive patents block access to essential technologies. Large corporations buy up and bury the innovations that threaten their business models.

02 / PROBLEM

Alternatives lack protection

Independent inventors lack access to the legal resources needed to protect their discoveries against institutional players and major corporations.

03 / OUR ANSWER

A collective as a shield

Pooling resources, skills and intellectual property creates a force able to resist confiscation and to keep innovating over time.

Our 4 missions

What we
actually do

Four interdependent pillars that form a complete ecosystem for alternative innovation.

01

Collective intellectual protection

We file and manage patents, trademarks and intellectual property rights on behalf of the association — a shared legal shield against any abusive appropriation.

PatentsTrademarksIP rights
02

Open source distribution

Technologies validated by our committees are published under free licenses with full documentation. Access to knowledge should not come at a price.

03

Training & transmission

Hands-on workshops, talks and technical training. We are building a network of skills to ensure the longevity of alternative technologies.
