The project began at the IMT Mines Albi engineering school in collaboration with Airbus. Our objective : making sport accessible to amputees.

By reusing discarded carbon fibers, we produce the first 2 functional sports blades.

After a year of work on our free time, a dozen people discover our blades. A real success !

The project evolves and becomes the Hopper start-up!

We proved with this experience that anything is possible! 5 people equipped with blades were able to reach a 3000m high summit in the Alps.

What does it mean to be a Hopper?
We wake up every morning with the same watchwords.
- The human being. Our will is to bring people together around a common goal. We want to show people that they must dare to dream, listen and work together in order to open the field of possible. We learn so much from each other… Hopper is not just a blade. It is a wonderful human adventure!
- Accessibility. Our daily specifications is transparency, access to information and the versatility of our products.
- Innovation and sustainability. Our blades are made out of upcycled carbon fibers that would have been discarded otherwise and they are 100 % made in France. Limiting our environmental impact as much as we can is an issue that we constantly bear in mind.
