  • Building the strategic project 2009-2012

    This document is essential to the association, provides a review of actions, identify priorities for the coming years and to allocate our resources accordingly. For its elaboration, CapinTech met the players of the ecosystem of innovation. These interviews helped to identify obstacles faced by young innovative technology companies at the time of their creation and their early development. Members of CapinTech have therefore chosen to focus the resources of the Association around 4 axes:
    - Stress the importance of the projects maturity and improve Funding for this increasingly longer period.
    - Contribute to the improvement of teams’ managerial skills and work on the relationships with ecosystem’s players.
    - Familiarize the young innovative technology companies with the characteristics of their ecosystem, work on their professionalization and their collaboration.
    - To familiarize the government with the characteristics of the ecosystem, to support key messages on "early stage" activities.
    And therfore, move towards the collective construction of a strategy to benefit of young innovative companies.

    How can the entrepreneur-investor relationship become a driving force of success for the company ? Group 6 tried to answer this question by offering innovative business leaders and venture capitalists, propositions and effective practices. Made of entrepreneurs, investors and leaders, the group based its proposals on the experience of its members and has expanded the situations presented in many interviews.
    The method has become simply : identify exemplary cases, expose, show the consequences, and suggest solutions to address difficult situations or improperly incurred.
    Our proposals are presented in tabular form, showing two moment of the relationship, the establishment of the relationship and the relationship itself. A toolkit offers ways to act, questions, things to know, key words in five cards.


  • « Improving the maturation of creating innovative company projects

    > Group 5, February 2005
    > Leaders : Guy Crespy CEA and Eric Harlé, I-Source
    > Participants : Philippe CAPDEVIELLE (Emertec management) • Guy LABRUNIE (CEA Valorisation), Yvan BAUMANN (CEA), Gilles TALBOTIER (Grenoble Alpes Incubation), Pascale Altier (BioTop Pasteur), Thomas Defaye (INRIA-Transfert), Philippe BOUCHERON (BIOGEST ), Eric VERKANT (Anvar), Ronan STEPHAN (FIST / CNRS) and CapInTech Laurent Kott, Miya-PELLISSARD Yadan.


    One of the major difficulties faced by young innovative companies is the lack of funding in the early years. Most often, the debate focus from "there is money to create innovative compagnies but not enough good projects" to "there are projects but not enough money in the early stage".

    The working group has therefore focused to clarify what means "maturity of a project" at different stages and how to improve it.
