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.

 

Access to funding

The challenge for every entrepreneur! Grants, scholarships, repayable advances, tax credits, honorary loans, fundraising... It can sometimes be difficult to navigate all the available funding sources and to determine which are best suited to an innovation project. Atlanpole supports entrepreneurs with its expertise in financial engineering.

The approach of the programme
Tell us about your project

Get in touch with our team to introduce ourselves and discuss your innovative project.

This will allow us to determine if it meets the necessary criteria to benefit from one of Atlanpole's support programmes!

Your expectations, your challenges

Have a more in-depth discussion to analyze all the contours of your project, collect your expectations
and thus guide you towards the support offer best suited to your needs and aspirations.

Towards the success of your project

Apply! To benefit from a support offer, there is always a selection stage to franchise.
If you succeed, you will join our incubator and benefit from all the associated benefits (coaching, workshops, meetings, etc.).
If you fail, don't panic. We can direct you to other key contacts within the Atlanpole ecosystem to get your project off the ground.

Support for up to 5 years

Thanks to our support, your company will reach great milestones! However, the life of a leader is not a long, calm river, and your challenges will evolve.

With a support period of up to 5 years, Atlanpole can guide you through all phases of your acceleration, regardless of your needs: financial, HR, commercial, legal...
