Indeed, the Lyon region has a developed ecosystem of innovative companies, based in particular on global competitive centers (Minalogic, Lyon Biopole) and many leading clusters (ClustR Numérique, Axelera, or Tenerrdis). An important breeding ground which has allowed cities like Lyon, Grenoble and Saint-Étienne to be recently labeled French Tech and which has six companies in the Label Tech 40 launched by EnterNext in 2015 (Adocia, Erytech, Valneva, LDLC, Metabolic Explorer and Soitec).

To make companies in the sector aware of the different methods of financing that are available, Enternext organized a conference on July 8^th around two round tables:

• «  How to move in line with the Tech sector growth ? » with a presentation from Vincent MEDAIL, partner from the Corporate, Mergers & Acquisitions, Stock Exchange and Finance Department,

• « Financial markets, growth lever of Tech companies ».

More than 170 participants gathered, and were therefore informed on all the tools and initiatives put in place in the Rhône-Alpes region to assist technology companies, from the start-up to the Mid-cap.
