The INNOVÉA Challenge is inviting grant applications to support innovative startups in testing and deploying solutions focused on finance, data, and process automation in collaboration with the Caisse des Dépôts Group.
The challenge focuses on risks, disputes and litigation, collaboration, training and expertise, legal drafting, contracts and contract lifecycle management, and regulatory monitoring.
Winners of the Innovéa Challenge will receive experimental grants, with the first prize awarded €80,000, the second prize €60,000, the third prize €40,000, and the fourth prize €20,000, alongside access to the Innovéa system.
Following an inaugural edition dedicated to RegTech and LegalTech, this new call for projects invites startups and innovators to engage with updated priorities aligned with the operational needs of the Caisse des Dépôts Group.
The challenge is designed as an opportunity for participants to test and deploy their solutions in a real-world environment, benefiting from direct collaboration with a major institutional partner.
The first prize also includes tailored access to the Innovéa acceleration programme, funding to test a product or service within the Caisse des Dépôts Group, and business or technical networking opportunities within the group and its wider ecosystem.
The challenge is open to professionals and innovative project leaders who align with the themes, including visionary entrepreneurs at the ideation or conceptualisation stage seeking support and validation, as well as startups and innovative companies with an existing MVP or product looking for structured deployment opportunities.
