        H7 is a place where everything is possible. At the end of the mentoring program, I had a number of very fruitful encounters, particularly with seasoned entrepreneurs. The coaching enabled me to clarify our business model and draw up a strategic roadmap for the project.

        The support we received from SUEZ & H7 gave us a more global view of the sector. Above all, I remember the excellent spirit of promotion with the start-ups, meetings within the ecosystem and the excellent support provided by our start-up manager.

        Joining H7 was one of the best decisions AMA ever made. Thanks to the ecosystem, we were able to forge key partnerships for the company's development, and ensure real visibility during the launch phase.

        Very quickly, we were able to create strong synergies with the dense ecosystem of local foodtech start-ups. H7's many strategic partnerships with private and public players have enabled us to strengthen our foothold in the Lyon area, both in terms of brand awareness and business development.
