Calls for projects, taxation, bank loans, leverage on equity capital... financing innovation can be a real jungle, and finding your way through it is a real long-distance race.

That's why Dynergie has teamed up with two experts: Banque Populaire via its Next innov network, and Maddyness, the leading medium on the start-up scene. 

Course de Fonds is THE editorial series that deciphers every detail of financing your innovation and R&D projects. Each month, discover a new article dealing with a specific theme.

A three-way partnership of experts

A meeting of minds, a shared vision and a fierce desire to support innovation and R&D project leaders, this partnership between our 3 entities was born quite naturally.

A private financier of innovation, notably with its Next Innov' competition Next Innov' competition, Banque Populaire brings you its insights and expertise on the subject of bank financing. In an increasingly tense economic context, with intense financing needs, the series aims to provide the keys to a winning banking strategy: How do you talk to banks?

Maddyness is THE reference media for innovation and business. As a true master of the subject, it was only natural that Maddyness should be seen as the missing piece of the puzzle. Maddyness brings you this clarity in the words we share with you, both in the writing of our editors and in our in-depth expertise on these subjects.

Financing the future: more important than ever

Faced with a world undergoing profound change, it is our duty as a committed company to shape and support a desirable future. Research and innovation play a major role in these far-reaching challenges.

Financing the development of innovative projects and the people behind them is a race against time. This race for funds requires a clear vision of the possibilities open to them, in order to exploit them to the full.

Over the last few decades, funding to support innovation and R&D projects has continued to grow. Examples include the 4th Programme d'Investissement d'Avenir (PIA4), and the France 2030 program, which provides for 54 billion euros of investment in innovative technologies and the ecological transition in key sectors of French and European sovereignty.

As you can see, there are many opportunities to create significant leverage and thus influence project development. To activate them, it's essential to be aware of them and to learn how to master them. Being aware of the existence of the various mechanisms is one important step, but understanding how to use them, how to make them work together, how to activate them, is another.  

Dynergie, Maddyness and Banque Populaire have joined forces to provide you with practical, concrete advice on this subject.
