Success Stories

The establishment of an HR network is essential but SMEs are often isolated as they go about their business. The ability to create a “time to breathe and share ideas" is very useful!

I want to find financing

Every year, risingSUD organizes two special financing committees on behalf of Region Sud. These comittees are meant to connect companies active in the region’s strategic sectors with both public and private investors (banks, business angels, foundations, investment funds) so they can move ahead with major projects or expansions.

 
These day long events are called “CoFIs” and they include:

1. A "project" sequence where leaders from companies with major  projects for the region’s strategic sectors make pitches to both local and national financial backers.

 

2. A "business" sequence where representatives of regional companies in the process of raising funds present their business plans to private investors to convince them to invest.

 

Are you a project leader or a company manager raising funds for a major project or expansion? We help you to: 

  • identify and leverage public and private financing

  • structure your project’s economic documentation

  • accelerate the closing of financing deals for your project

 

Are you a financer? The CoFIs are an opportunity to: 

  • enjoy access to high-potential projects

  • receive insights into the companies and major projects that will shape the region’s strategic sectors

  • to participate in a collective engineering project uniting financial backers from the public and private sectors
