Innovative entrepreneurs are at the heart of Innovact and European networks
- New entrepreneurs and innovative project carriers : tell us about your project and get advice, funding, find new partners and more…
- Experts, incubators, financial backers… who assist these entrepreneurs : come and enhance the cream of your crop, help them to make headway and find new projects for the future !
All this at Innovact, in Reims, a unique forum in Europe that puts innovative entrepreneurs at the heart of the event and among the European networks who act for start-ups - from their creation to their development - and meet their daily needs.
For 2 days, we prepare everything just so, in order to foster the maximum of fruitful exchanges, long-lasting partnerships and encounters that are sometimes as new as they are unexpected. Discover the Innovact programme
