CATALYST: the 2nd cohort of Leonard’s support program enrols 10 innovative companies

Leonard is greeting the 2nd cohort of its CATALYST program, designed to foster cooperation between innovative companies and VINCI companies in construction, mobility, real estate and energy. The 10 innovative companies selected meet the challenges of environmental transition, safety, productivity and competitiveness of VINCI companies' offerings and business lines.

The CATALYST program puts the most mature innovative companies in a position to start rolling out their products and services in partnership with VINCI Group companies. The second cohort will include 10 of these companies. They will have preferential access to VINCI executives and Leonard will be by their side from their first meeting up to the point where they formalise their partnership.

With 7 countries represented, this program designed to support cooperation between innovative companies and VINCI entities confirms its international dimension. 6 out of the 10 companies selected provide an innovative solution that reduces the environmental impact of projects.

In 2020, 11 start-ups and scale-ups had taken part to the first cohort of the CATALYST program.
