In collaboration with its partners, Genopole, France’s leading biopark, is organizing the fourth edition of its competition for biotech startups focused on the environment, agronomy and/or industry (excluding the medical sector).
This year, the competition is placed under the auspices of three French Ministries: Research, Industrial Renewal and Ecology and is sponsored by Chimex. A first prize worth € 90k will be awarded as well as two special worth € 45k.
The competition is intended for project holders or young startups looking to develop an innovation in these sectors. The laureate(s) will receive grants and/or services to aid the launch of their activities or the pursuit of their project development.
