Finance Innovation is a global competitiveness cluster created by the French government in 2007. It helps start-ups in the financial sector accelerate their growth, notably through fundraising and national and international partnerships.  

Finance Innovation's mission

Finance Innovation acts as a trusted third party, connecting young finance companies with research laboratories, small businesses and SMEs or large groups, academic centers and investors.  

Its mission is divided into 3 main areas:  

• Developing the project factory
• Building the finance of tomorrow
• Driving the ecosystem

Areas of support

Finance Innovation supports start-ups in 6 fields of activity: insurance, banking, sustainable and solidarity-based finance, asset management, real estate, and corporate management and finance.  

The cluster has also expanded its local support by creating the French Tech #FinTech Thematic Network, which strengthens the development and support of ecosystems in France's regions.

Sustainable finance

As finance is an integral part of how our economy works, it ensures the optimal use of a country's resources and helps improve the well-being of its citizens.  

Recent decades have been marked by climate change and growing awareness of the limited nature of the resources we use. In this context, financing the ecological and social transition has become a major challenge.  

Sustainable finance has developed to support the changes this transformation requires and to support the real economy. It takes into account non-financial criteria, notably those related to environmental, social and governance impacts, known as ESG.  

Sustainable finance therefore aims to develop projects that have a positive impact on ESG criteria, or at least no negative impact. The factors that can be examined include: carbon emission levels, impact on biodiversity, social changes, how companies are governed...
