A startup competition to launch promising startups<\/h2>\n

Since its inception in 2014, this startup competition has had one clear goal: to highlight promising startups and provide them with the push they need to get their project off the ground. The success of many of the winners of this competition bears witness to this. From Stigo’s folding electric scooter to Damae Medical’s sample-free skin cancer screening, there are many innovations that have come out of the shadows.<\/p>\n

Over 43 million euros raised since the beginning<\/h2>\n

In addition, between 2014 and 2017, more than \u20ac43 million has been raised by the finalists. According to Hubert Blanquefort, Director of Digital Communication and Innovation at EDF, “the EDF Pulse Start-up Awards give them credibility and visibility.” After all, it is these project carriers who will be setting up the technological solutions of tomorrow. Thus, startups or SMEs with an innovative project in one of these categories can apply until 23 May 2019.<\/p>\n
