Jacques Richier

Chairman, Allianz France

The larger a group is, the more it needs to be in tune with market trends and support the entrepreneurial spirit to innovate at 360°. It is this ambition that drives the Allianz accelerator.

Eric Larchevêque

Executive Chairman & Co-founder at Ledger

Thanks to the Allianz accelerator, we had the opportunity to visit the Chinese ecosystem, which helped us build our strategy in Asia. We were able to secure important deals directly on the spot and make many connections. By meeting the right people at the right time, we accelerated our startup's growth and gained at least 12 months of time to market.
