The Village by CA and Crédit Agricole CIB team up to help social and environmental startups

Society is changing both socially and environmentally. Recycling, access to education, renewable energies, sustainable finance… the field of action is very wide and innovation is part of the solution, but social and environmental startups still encounter obstacles in their development. 

To help them, the Village by CA, Crédit Agricole’s startup accelerator founded in 2014, launched a dedicated call for applications in partnership with EIT InnoEnergy, makesense Seed I, Groupe PSA and Crédit Agricole CIB.

All startups presenting a technology that responds to sustainable development challenges are invited to apply to try and integrate the Village by CA Paris for 2 years and benefit from personalised support and the expertise of teams from the Village by CA Paris and its partners, including Crédit Agricole CIB. 

“We want to evolve at the same time as society. More and more social and environmental startups are created and we think it is important to support them by integrating them into our ecosystem and enabling them to develop by our side.”
Fabrice Marsella, Head of the Village by CA Paris 

“Teaming up on this initiative is completely in line with the objectives of our medium term plan’s societal project and will hopefully open up opportunities for collaboration with some of the winning startups.”
Romaric Rollet, Head of Innovation and Digital Transformation, Crédit Agricole CIB
