CIC is the bank for innovation, supporting those who build to keep the world moving.
As the French bank for entrepreneurs and innovation since 1859, CIC created Start Innovation CIC, a dedicated program designed to empower companies and key players across the innovation ecosystem.
The CIC Start Innovation Awards is a multi-regional competition that identifies and rewards the most promising innovative companies across France. Now in its 6th edition, the program brings together the boldest visionaries who are actively transforming our society. Finalists compete across three categories: Rupture, Impact, and Growth.
At VivaTech, 10 hand-picked finalists take over the Pitch Studio to showcase their innovations live in front of investors, innovation leaders, and tech enthusiasts from across the show floor. Don't miss this moment of startup energy and national visibility at Europe's biggest tech event!
