Our clients and partners testify
‘Impulse Partners are the right people to approach about ConTech, PropTech and digital transformation.
Impulse Partners has a strong ability to work with key accounts in the sector, and to interact with major groups, start-ups and local authorities.‘
‘Impulse Partners has played a fundamental role in our development, providing us with Vinci Construction as an investor and multiple access points to market players, such as Saint-Gobain. ‘
‘Our research priority is start-ups in the fields of building performance, construction productivity and the circular economy.
Working with Impulse Partners provides us with a deal flow and meetings that have led to several collaborations with the Saint-Gobain Group. It has also enabled us to connect with other players, given Impulse Partners' strong presence in the construction sector.‘
‘Thanks to Impulse Partners, we're tuned in to market trends, new businesses, new activities.‘
‘There is a proportion of innovation in construction that is driven by public procurement, so being able to go and talk to these local authorities is a very important element for us, and that's what Impulse is all about.’
‘The aim of SiteFlow is to transform the way we work together in the context of field operations in highly complex and sensitive environments (nuclear power stations, offshore platforms).
Impulse Partners played a key role in putting us in touch with Orano and enabling us to present our solution to them, which led to us being awarded a contract and propelled to help us become a leader. Impulse Partners introduced us at the right time.‘
"This was perhaps the best roadway infrastructure event I have been to and I hope Impulse Partners is able to continue this tradition with CRH Ventures as thought leaders in this space."
