At the heart of the Allianz Riviera stadium in Nice, the Allianz accelerator supports innovative and promising start-ups in their growth by offering them an intensive 5-month acceleration program.
Accelerated start-ups benefit from a network of experts and mentors, leading financiers and investors, including Bpifrance and Idinvest Partners, and structured support.
Start-ups may also be offered a strategic partnership with Allianz, or the opportunity to test their solution internationally, thanks to the group’s global presence in more than 70 countries.
To be selected, start-ups must offer an innovative product or service related to big data, connected objects, or connected stadiums, with significant development potential and a strong motivation to scale up.
Applications must be submitted by March 18. Between 5 and 7 will be selected.
In connection with the Nice Côte d’Azur Metropolis and its network of partners, the project will be part of the French Tech Côte d’Azur initiative. At the same time, Allianz France intends to continue its digital transformation by facilitating encounters between its teams and entrepreneurs, the everyday actors of innovation.
The Allianz accelerator will offer a dynamic 9-month program. Start-ups will have privileged access to digital world figures, experts, as well as a network of leading financiers and investors, including Bpifrance, which is committed to connecting large accounts and start-ups, and Idinvest Partners, one of the leading private equity firms in Europe.
At the end of the acceleration period, some start-ups may be offered a strategic partnership with Allianz, or the opportunity to test their solution internationally, benefiting from the group’s global presence in over 70 countries. To be selected, start-ups will need to offer innovative services related to big data: connected cars, homes, stadiums, and cities, the silver economy, customer experience, and any project related to data valuation. The 500m² accelerator, which will overlook the pitch of the Nice stadium and offer a view of the sea, will open its doors in 2015 to welcome the first selection of start-ups.
