The benefits

Quality of Support

No two entrepreneurial journeys are the same. This is why the support provided by Atlanpole is based on the principle of personalisation. Unlike other organisations, this regional incubator offers a multitude of options and commits to a significant support period of up to 5 years! Numerous labels have been awarded, attesting to the professionalism and quality of the coaching provided by Atlanpole's team and the partner technopoles.

Strength of Networks

As an innovation hub in the Grand Ouest region, Atlanpole is at the heart of a vast ecosystem that brings together innovative businesses, economic actors, and academic institutions. Being supported by Atlanpole means gaining access to this multidisciplinary network, which can lead to new business opportunities and provide guidance towards the most suitable partner organisations for the project and the entrepreneur's aspirations.

HR Matching

Recognising that human resources, a key factor for success, often remain a weak point in startups, Atlanpole offers the "Deeptech Matching" programme to supported project leaders. This initiative helps connect project leaders with strategic profiles to build a strong team and/or provides advice on recruitment for startups.
