Techstars, a global startup accelerator that helps entrepreneurs succeed, announced on Thursday, October 6, that it has renamed Techstars Paris into Techstars Sustainability Paris.
Techstars Sustainability Paris will invest in early-stage high-growth impact startups tackling some of the most significant issues, such as water, energy, or waste management, with Raphaele Leyendecker as managing director.
“As France is building what it takes to bring french startups to become the next green unicorns, it will inevitably go through bridging the actual gap between the franco-french ecosystem and the global economy,” says Techstars.
The accelerator is industry and tech agnostic, meaning that these companies can be hardware and software but also deeptech, biotech, and fintech early-stage companies.
