Our Vision
NexTherm Sensing: a tech start-up that quickly gained support from major partners
Spin-off from ONERA (the French Aerospace Lab), from which it obtained major support, NexTherm Sensing has benefited from the dynamics of recognized programs such as BLAST (Starburst incubator) and Poc In Labs from the University of Paris-Saclay. These important levers have enabled NexTherm Sensing to structure its offer in order to meet the needs of a wide variety of technological sectors, but also to finalize its developments.
A recognized expertise
Based on a technical expertise recognized by the aerospace ecosystem, matured and supported by ONERA, NexTherm Sensing was born from the ambition to bring technology "out of the laboratory" with advanced concepts proven in the most severe conditions, in order to propose them to the most varied sectors. After many years of development, testing and qualification, a business operation was initiated, first to protect our innovations (patent), then to gain visibility with partners in R&D, industry and academic Research centers. Many scientific and technical fields now benefit from our sensors.

NexTherm Sensing is an Engineering Company specializing in the measurement of moderate heat fluxes (a few tens of kW/m²) to high fluxes (a few MW/m²) in severe environments, such as those encountered in fires, rocket or missile jets, in internal combustion engine chambers or in refractory furnaces.
Created by Research Engineers from ONERA (French National Office for Aerospace Studies and Research), NexTherm Sensing democratizes cutting-edge technologies that it places at the service of Industry, R&D Centers and public laboratories.
Some of our technologies, such as inertia fluxmeters (IHF series) were born within the Rocket Propulsion Laboratory, improved over the years and tested on fire test benches (small-scale launch pad, direct exposure to a jet of solid propellant, mounting on engine walls, etc.).
Driven by the desire to promote our technological research, we initiated an industrial valorization process in 2022, with a strong support from ONERA and partner support programs (Poc in Labs at Paris-Saclay University, Blast). The strong commercial potential, coupled with almost exclusively North American competition (high prices, long lead times, non-existent technical support), then led us to embark on the entrepreneurial adventure.
We are now distributed by a recognized leader in instrumentation in the French-speaking world, ES FRANCE. This partnership allows us to reach new markets and applications, while benefiting from a solid sales network with proven expertise.
