Last week, I took part to the official launch :

"Local to global Expo". Around 20 fast-growing companies have pitched in front of institutional investors (i.e. VCs, Private Equity Funds and Family Offices) and corporate partners. The featured companies have been selected based on the uniqueness of their technology, the quality of their management, their ambition to grow internationally as well as the size of their total addressable market. This first edition of the "Local to Global" Expo has provided the opportunity to participants to meet high-potential companies as well as meet other actors of the European investor community.

This first "Local to Global" Expo has been followed by the official launch of PwC’s Accelerator which lays the groundwork for developing a connected and innovation-driven business community. This is an ecosystem that we believe will benefit both PWC's clients and those who take part in it. We wish long life and success to this accelerator and we wish that this initiative will allow to support the development of several experienced  EDHEC entrepreneurs.
