Last January, 7 startups were on the starting blocks, selected from among 70 candidates from 8 countries. They were set to take part in the AcceleRise adventure, seeking to cement their place at the heart of the Foodtech ecosystem: business connections, mentoring, commercial partners, operational support resources, product testing facilities, and international development support.

 

To conclude their 3-month intensive acceleration phase and to open new funding opportunities, we held two pitch sessions on April 20 and 27, in Paris then in Dijon, before an audience of representatives of more than a dozen investment funds. We are proud to have brought together InVivo Invest, Axa venture, Citizen Capital, Emertec, Seventure, FFC, la BPI, BPCE, Bourgogne Angels, etc. In total, more than 1 billion Euros in funds in the room!

Mature FoodTech/AgTech startups (at proof of concept stage) and SMEs, from throughout France or even abroad, we invite you to take your chance to join the AcceleRise adventure. Applications close June 12 and the acceleration session will begin on September 14. Don't miss out!
