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.
