MonacoTech, the Principality’s leading startup incubator and accelerator, has partnered with CFM Indosuez Wealth Management to grant MonacoTech startups access to the Indosuez Group’s ‘StartUp Connections’ platform. This digital platform connects entrepreneurs with potential investors, enhancing funding opportunities and fostering innovation.

Announced on 5 November 2024, the partnership represents a joint effort to strengthen Monaco’s entrepreneurial ecosystem, providing greater visibility for MonacoTech’s emerging companies within Indosuez’s extensive investor network in Monaco and globally. Through ‘StartUp Connections’, MonacoTech startups specialising in fields like BioTech, MedTech, GreenTech, and BlueTech gain access to a platform that facilitates targeted investor-entrepreneur meetings, building valuable relationships within the investor community.

“We are thrilled about this partnership,” stated Dominique Guignard, Director of Development – Corporate Finance at CFM Indosuez Wealth Management. “The virtuous circle we aim to create with this platform is a significant asset for both our investor clients and the startups on it.”

The “StartUp Connections” platform, developed by Indosuez’s Innovation Lab, offers private clients the opportunity to connect with over 100 international startups in fundraising stages. Clients can filter startups by sector, maturity, and impact, fostering targeted investment opportunities. Since its initial launch in France, the platform has facilitated over 250 connections and is expanding beyond the Crédit Agricole Group’s original accelerator network to embrace international innovation ecosystems, including Monaco.

MonacoTech’s Director, Sandrine Sauval-Chanteloube, remarked, “StartUp Connections is a tremendous opportunity for MonacoTech entrepreneurs. It enriches the support we offer startups, providing a unique resource to connect with investors.”

As a first step, several MonacoTech startups have already been identified and introduced to CFM Indosuez teams to determine their eligibility for the platform. Selected startups will gain exclusive access, reinforcing Monaco’s position as a hub for pioneering technology and innovation.
