"We are delighted to welcome this new batch of nearly 130 projects to our programs, which have convinced us of the quality of their value proposition. This year, in addition to the profile of the entrepreneur and the business idea he or she is developing, we were particularly attentive to their compatibility with our new emphasis on digital sovereignty, diversity and the environment," says Koussée Vaneecke, Managing Director of EuraTechnologies.
Many of the entrepreneurs of this group, who will be incubated on one of the four campuses of the Hauts-de-France region (Lille, Roubaix, Willems and St Quentin), are developing innovative projects around circular economy, energy savings or waste recovery. New ways to produce and consume that EuraTechnologies is passionate about and is committed to becoming Europe's first NetZero startup incubator by 2030.
This batch also reflects the appeal of the northern France incubator, with entrepreneurs coming not only from the region, but also from all of France (Montpellier, Perpignan, Strasbourg, Paris and Ile de France), and even from abroad: Spain, India and Nigeria…
This spring, EuraTechnologies is inaugurating its new 6-month incubation and acceleration programs redesigned in business verticals* to meet new needs of startups and project holders, such as remote access to all content from all verticals, on top of the core courses.
The new batch will receive education on three core topics - Cybersecurity, NetZero, and Diversity and Inclusion - key to understanding and anticipating social and societal environment. EuraTechnologies has also placed a stronger emphasis on content related to fundraising and financing.
To encourage exchanges, collaboration and business opportunities, all entrepreneurs will start their program at the same time, whether they are in their incubation or acceleration stage.
Personalized support was reinforced and is offered to entrepreneurs: mentoring sessions with corporate partners, One-on-One exchanges with key international and local experts and sector-based learning expeditions.
This Spring’s batch is also getting access to extended technical and services perks for their marketing and CRM tools, cloud, HR or even banking solutions.
Finally, the batch will have access to training opportunities at the Stanford Center for Professional Development, and a new three-day course is now available to all alumni of this program.
