Our clients and partners testify
‘For me, it brings 3 things to belong to the Lab:
The first is to be able to continuously monitor the issues that are important to us. It also means having access to a flow of qualified start-ups. Lastly, we're going to be able to give our employees a real sense of culture, so that innovation is everywhere in the Bouygues Construction company.‘
‘Impulse Partners is both consulting and something very pragmatic.‘
‘We chose to turn to Impulse Partners to help us structure a roadmap that would be consistent with our strategic roadmap, and also enable us to go out and find start-ups that could offer us rapid solutions.’
‘It's a win-win situation, because for the start-ups it's a way of confronting their market. For us, the initial aim was to explore what could be done.‘
‘Sekoya is a French industrial club dedicated to Low Carbon, bringing together players who are contributing, through their capacity for innovation, to the urgent shift towards this new economy.’
‘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."
‘We were lucky enough to be accelerated at a very early stage, i.e. from 2019 at Upfactor, before our first fundraising round, which enabled us to become known to investors and to be able to try out our message.’
"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."
“Impulse supported us and also offered us the opportunity to take part in our first USH congress, and today we're lucky to have been able to evolve and have our own stand.”
