1/ I-NOV: A LEVER FOR ENERGY INNOVATION…
This competition financed by the Programme d’Investissements d’Avenir (PIA) involves:
>> Three purposes:
- Support innovative projects led by start-up and SME
- Promote the emergence of leading companies in their field that can claim a global reach
- Accelerate the development and commercialization of innovative solutions and technologies
>> Three shareholders:
- The State
- The Burgundy Franche-Comté Region
- Bpifrance
This partnership definitively puts innovation at the heart of the regional economic development. The creation of sustainable and skilled jobs and the acceleration of business dynamics are crucial issues.
2/… AND A GROWTH ACCELERATOR
On June 28, Ananké headed up to Paris.
Its objective? Share its purpose and vision in order to convince the jury members.
The final decision will be announced a couple of weeks later: Ananké wins the contest!
This label allows the start–up to benefit from €200K in subsidies and €100K in repayable advance.
A comfortable amount that rounds off the financing required for the development of the first eco-compressor and its installation, expected in 2020.
This award also unlocks the financial situation of the start–up. A bank loan of €200K from Banque Populaire Burgundy Franche–Comté and the €40K honorary loan from Réseau Entreprendre thus ensure the company’s financial stability.
The search for financing is a time–consuming and crucial step in the development of a company. Step by step, Ananké gathers the necessary skills and resources for its progress.
