Our support offerings to take you
from innovative idea to business project
The Programme in Brief
Do you want to formalise your idea, structure your project, and validate its viability? Atlanpole's pre-incubation programme is for you! It will help you move from ideation to the realisation of your entrepreneurial project.
How? Through a simple diagnostic, individual coaching, and a collective programme... There is surely a solution tailored to your needs among our support services.
Not every project results in the creation of a business, but anyone who undergoes pre-incubation will develop their entrepreneurial skills. Conversely, sometimes the pre-incubation programme alone will be sufficient to launch the business without needing to proceed to the incubation programme.
The offers listed below are intended for project leaders who plan to start their business in Loire-Atlantique or Vendée. For other departments in the Pays de la Loire region, please contact the relevant technopoles: Angers Technopole, Laval Mayenne Technopole et Le Mans Innovation.
Who is it for?
Anyone looking to develop an innovative project:
- In the Nantes university and economic area with the Atlanpole team, or in the Angers and Maine regions in collaboration with partner technopoles: Angers Technopole, Laval Mayenne Technopole et Le Mans Innovation,
- Regardless of the target sector.
There is no typical profile: our incubator supports both researchers with a commercialisation project and young entrepreneurs who are new to business management.
