Des entreprises EDHEC dans les 100 start-up où investir selon Challenges

As in previous years, the Challenges magazine has once again published its list of 100 start-ups to invest in for 2020. We are delighted to see the inclusion of three companies co-founded by EDHEC graduates:

- HAROLD WASTE, cofounded by Jean-Philippe Boul (LL.M. in Law & Tax Management, 2014)
HAROLD WASTE streamlines logistics and costs for recycling companies using a series of algorithms that take many factors into account: audits of waste generated, calculating the cost of raw materials and transport, forecasting customs duties, etc. This results in time saved, improved productivity and a comprehensive overview of the purchase and sale of raw materials for these businesses.
Capital sought: 4 million euros
