Acceleration programs

ANIMA implements international acceleration programmes for high growth companies wishing to expand in export markets.

The support of the programmes proposed by ANIMA today has two dimensions:

• Market access. By relying on experts and business networks in the countries of destination, ANIMA helps companies to adapt their offer to the targeted markets, to prospect for technical or commercial partners, to find places to set up their activities and to integrate the economic environment of the targeted markets;
• Access to financing. The experts mobilised by ANIMA prepare companies to raise funds from private or institutional investors. This work includes an assistance with the financial business plan, a diagnosis of the needs and nature of the financing, a support in defining the valuation of the company, and an assistance in preparing the necessary legal documents (shareholder agreement in the case of an investment). In addition, ANIMA puts companies in touch with financing actors (private investors and business angels, funds, banks).

Who is eligible?

ANIMA’s acceleration programmes target young growth companies as a priority. The condition is to have created their company and to have a solution or product already running with customers.
