CM-CIC Capital Innovation is the venture capital subsidiary of CM-CIC Capital Finance. Its objective is to invest in promising technology companies in their early stages of development with a high growth potential in dynamic sectors such as information technologies, telecommunications, electronics, life sciences, new materials, and the environment. CM-CIC Capital Innovation’s policy is aimed at providing assistance over time (5-7 years) to high-tech start-ups, which will ultimately lead them on the right track to succeed. This involvement is achieved by working closely with the company through advices and networking, but without interfering in the day-to-day management of the company. Investment levels are suited to each case – usually between €0.5 and €3 million – and injected gradually in several phases, as development needs rise. CM-CIC Capital Innovation always invests jointly with other financial partners, often as lead or co-lead investor.
