Developed by the Indosuez Innovation Lab, «StartUp Connections» provides a streamlined, digital avenue for clients to connect with over 100 international startups seeking funding or business partnerships.

Users can access the platform via web or mobile, allowing them to filter and select startups based on criteria such as business sector, maturity, or environmental impact. At the press of a button, they then simply request to be put in touch with the start-up.

According to a press release, this approach is designed to align investor interests with startup needs, fostering mutually beneficial relationships.

Success in France

Since the launch of the platform in France six years ago, more than 250 meetings have led to investments of more than €11 million in startups in line with the aspirations of clients, particularly in the healthcare, environment, energy transition, and sustainable finance sectors.
