Colleagues in our Paris office have held the CVC France Young Innovator Awards, in support of charity partner, Sport dans la Ville’s entrepreneurship programme, Entrepreneurs dans la Ville.
A panel, made up of representatives from CVC and Entrepreneurs dans la Ville, selected four finalists from a shortlist of ten from cities across France. Winners are awarded financial grants and will have ongoing support from the programme's start-up managers and the CVC team.
The CVC France Young Innovator Awards 2023 winners are:
- Pommy – Creating fruit compote from fruit rejected by supermarkets
- 6h55 – Healthy, natural bed duvets from virgin wool
