#XrisLogbook 154 - Builders, Budgets & Breakthroughs 🇫🇷

81

👍🏻 On Monday was the 15th edition of The ACCURAFY4 Dinners and that reminded me why community matters as much as capital. Bringing together entrepreneurs, athletes and builders around the parallels between elite sport and entrepreneurship … discipline, resilience, mindset … created rare, honest conversations and genuine connection. Sharing personal journeys and passions shifted the perspective beyond performance and numbers, toward something more human and collective. A strong reminder that building companies, like sport, is as much physical and mental as it is strategic. 🤝

👎🏻 On Wednesday at the Sénat listening to the 2026 budget debate felt like watching a perfectly tuned orchestra replaying an old score. Taxes up, costs down, everyone on tempo. After 20 years abroad, what struck me most was the silence between the notes: no one asking how to keep entrepreneurs or investors willing to stay. The issue isn’t how to divide the pie, but how to keep it baking. Same instruments, same melody… wrong composition. 🙄

✍🏻 Yesterday at Google , I was attending at a round table with alain aspect and Michel Devoret , Nobel Prize physicists (2022 and 2025). Listening to them felt like talking to explorers who set sail forty years ago, when the map was blank, the sea empty, and almost no one was watching. Back then, quantum was a green field with no crowd, no competition, and very little interest. Today, the same field looks more like a packed stadium: quantum and AI are the stars everyone tracks, circling each other, still warming up, with use cases and scale not fully written yet. The future of physics has already checked in. ⚛️
