The fourth edition of the Annual Convention of the National Greentech Incubators Network was successfully held in the premises of Schoolab, in the heart of Paris. Organized by the Ecolab of the General Commissariat for Sustainable Development (CGDD), this meeting brought together key players in green innovation for a day rich in exchanges and learning.
An unmissable event for Greentech incubators
As a highlight for our network, this convention allows incubators to converse, share their thoughts, and exchange experiences around ecological transition and sustainable innovation. The event was structured around conferences, master classes, and thematic workshops aimed at strengthening synergies among various stakeholders.
A morning dedicated to inspiration and sharing experiences
