The Village by CA, a talent incubator
THE ISSUE
Innovation is central to economic growth and a powerful driver for businesses. To support innovation, Crédit Agricole is seeking to bring start-ups, companies, partners and Regional Banks together in the same place, the Village.
OUR RESPONSE
Crédit Agricole has joined forces with major groups to create a single venue and network dedicated to innovation, focused 100% on the economic growth of young companies.
The Village supports innovative, high-potential projects across France and in a range of fields, including energy and the environment, housing, health and ageing, farming and agri-food, and digital services. Start-ups benefit from contact with a number of public and private partners such as Hewlett-Packard, Orange and Microsoft.
Start-ups should be able to fly solo at the end of their lease, after a two-year period. We want the Village to give rise to national and even international champions.
