Erganeo launches a Call for Expression of Interest for the creation of Deeptech start-ups. It aims to promote the development of the research work of its community of researchers through the creation of start-ups.

In addition to the ongoing analysis of research projects from academic laboratories in its territory, Erganeo is launching a Call for Expressions of Interest for the creation of Deeptech start-ups. The aim is to promote the development of the research work of its research community through the creation of start-ups.

The projects selected at the end of this call will benefit from the support of the Erganeo team for the preparation of the investment file which will be presented to the Investment Committee (IC) for possible integration into the Start-up Factory programme and maturation funding.

The preparation of the IC (a committee composed of 8 industry and investment experts with complementary skills and experience) allows for the construction of the project through an in-depth analysis of the market, the business model, technological developments and intellectual property.

Financial: average investment of €400K

Structuring: our teams are mobilized to help you with the legal creation of your structure, the implementation of your business plan, the reflection on your business model, the marketing of your product, etc.

This human accompaniment, specific to each project and start-up, can be adapted to your needs.
