· Hard blocker 1 (temporal): The application window closed on 3 February 2026 at noon; today is 9 July 2026 — the programme is shut. Hard blocker 2 (geographic/institutional): i-Lab is a BPIFrance programme explicitly designed to support startup creation in France. The applicant is an independent researcher based in Lagos, Nigeria, with no French entity, French institutional affiliation, or France-based co-founder, which disqualifies participation under standard i-Lab eligibility rules regardless of the deadline.
