Sophia Antipolis: first annual EOS conference to take place on 30 November

Financing global companies will be the theme of this first event organized by Euroffice, and in which Ségolène Pin of Team Côte d’Azur will participate.

The conference, entitled, “Going International – Building a High Growth Company with Smart Investment,” will focus on financing global companies and highlight the challenges faced by international entrepreneurs. Organizing the event is Euroffice Services (EOS), a network of science and technology parks, business innovation centers and incubators, whose goal is to help innovative SMEs (small and medium-sized companies) develop their businesses internationally. It will also be an opportunity for Team Côte d’Azur to underline their commitment to assisting innovative start-ups.
Ségolène Pin, Manager of the IT Business Unit dedicated to growing the IT technologies sector, will participate in a round table focusing on concrete examples and available tools (Case Studies, Tools and DO’s & DON’Ts).

2 questions to Ségolène Pin, Manager Business Unit IT at Team Côte d’Azur:

1. Why did Team Côte d'Azur decide to participate in this event?

We’re helping animate this conference as Team Côte d'Azur’s main role is to promote this region’s potential and to attract both French and foreign innovative young companies. This conference will give us an opportunity to convince the heads of such enterprises that they will find the fertile environment here that’s necessary for their growth. For that to happen all the ingredients for their success must already be available, particularly access to investors as well as the possibility of setting-up business relations and partnerships.

2. Can you say a word about your participation in the round table on financing tools?
As a Business Unit dedicated to the IT sector, a large part of our team’s work is to advise and help start-ups successfully overcome any problems they might encounter locating here as well as achieving growth and finding finance. Participating in the round table will enable us to present all the tools that are provided in a highly innovative environment such as Sophia Antipolis.
