  • France Télévisions and the Belle de mai incubator: a partnership for innovative digital start-ups

A strategic partnership for the development of Deep Tech in the media 

France Télévisions, France's leading broadcasting group, is a member of the selection committee for the accompanying projects. As part of this collaboration, France Télévisions will enable the incubated start-ups to benefit from the expertise and resources of France Télévisions, particularly in terms of technological development, content production and distribution. It will also give the incubated startups a unique opportunity to develop innovative solutions for the media industry, positioning them as key players in the digital ecosystem.

Thanks to this partnership, incubated startups have access to a wide range of resources, including :

-       Privileged access to France Télévisions' experts and infrastructure

-       Professional training and workshops

-       Collaboration and co-development opportunities

A customised accelerator for start-ups 

The Belle de Mai incubator has two incubation programmes: Manufacture 2+ and 1024, each tailored to the project’ stage development. 

Manufacture 2+, which aims to de-risk the project and validate the market, is a free 3-month support programme structured around 11 collective work sessions and several hours of individual support. This programme enables project leaders to structure their project and their business model. 

1024is the "à la carte" version of the support offered by the incubator. Running over a period of 18 to 24 months, this is an individual programme that meets the specific needs of each entrepreneur through daily monitoring, contacts with research laboratories, expert advice and a network. The support is complemented by funding of up to €40,000.

Call for projects until 1 December 2023 

Applications are open continuously. The business managers analyse the applications and guide the project leaders towards the appropriate programme.

After qualifying the application, project sponsors are invited to present their project to a commitment committee made up of leading figures from the world of entrepreneurship, research and finance.

So if you're looking for individual support to structure your project, want access to local and national resources and want to develop your network by connecting with other entrepreneurs and experts, don't wait any longer and apply here!
