With the support of the Paris-Saclay Community, WILCO set up a mentoring program with startups and corporations. This is an opportunity for corporations to become mentors and pass on their knowledge, while also learning about the workings and vision of young companies.
The startups benefit from expert support to accelerate their growth, and develop their skills and professional network. A win-win situation for these innovators.
Find out what the founders of the accelerated startups thought about the mentorship program.
Thanks to the mentoring, we’ve gained marketing knowledge and refined our marketing strategy and customer messages.

Experts from major corporations also contributed to economic dynamism by supporting innovative projects:
I think it’s essential. Like SMEs, startups make France – and the world – grow. And so, they need to be supported. […] On a personal level, it also enabled me to think about new projects for my company.
Sabine Ouhayou, EDF
I’d recommend that employees from other major groups come and discover new perspectives and ideas. This energy provides a real boost in your day-to-day activities.
