Bpifrance

Activity from announced rounds

Activity in this selectionFoodtech

Bpifrance is France’s public investment bank, financing businesses through equity, loans and guarantees and supporting innovation and international expansion.

Its equity activity includes venture capital, growth investment and investments in other funds. Innovation financing can also support research, development and bringing a product to market, so founders may have financing options beyond a conventional equity round.

The appropriate route depends on the project and stage: research funding, a guarantee for borrowing, direct investment and export support serve different needs. Its bank-for-entrepreneurs model connects those instruments with programmes for developing a French business.
