Industry
Manufacturers across all sectors are facing significant challenges reshaping their business models, including digitalization, decarbonization, energy transition, and resource scarcity.
Prepare for the future
Accompanying manufacturers towards the industry of the future means guiding them through a transformation that prioritizes environmental sustainability, integration with local communities, enhanced efficiency through digitalization, and greater care for employee well-being and safety. Ultimately, it’s about fostering an industry with a long-term vision. This process encourages manufacturers to explore, test, and implement innovative solutions that align with their business needs, creating a symbiotic relationship. For each use case, it’s about identifying the most appropriate transformation, using the right technology, the right application, and the right business model. In today’s world, these discussions can only deliver their full value to the industry through the exchange of visions, best practices, and needs, the pooling of resources, and ultimately, a collective learning process that will shape the industries of tomorrow.

Our clients and partners testify
‘I appreciate Impulse Partners’ methodological expertise, its understanding of our sectoral challenges and the nature of our businesses.
Impulse helped us set up the Industrya Corporate Venture Fund: roadmap, creation of the business plan, challenge of the termsheet and shareholders' agreement, model shareholder contracts, model acceleration contracts with start-ups, website content to ensure a “start-up language”, etc. Impulse advised us on how to structure the governance (board of directors, selection committee & investment committee) and helped us put together Industrya's management team by identifying highly qualified professionals. Impulse also supports the start-ups it invests in in their international development.‘
"The Impulse team has in-depth knowledge of TotalEnergies' internal processes and understands our priorities.
Our innovation and sales teams can communicate easily with them. They have demonstrated their agility in finding solutions tailored to our needs, and in delivering value through concrete collaborations. Several PLANT4.0 solutions have been deployed, some of which have even been integrated into our internal tools. Their approach to the ecosystem, with its high-quality networking, is a real differentiator for us and for start-ups. The Impulse network is also a good way of exchanging ideas and showcasing the various collaborations between major groups and start-ups.‘
‘The aim that we have is actually to be able to take the good ideas from the startups, but then integrate them into these large industrial companies to try and have pilots or tests to see if these ideas can help us with the challenges we have."
