Allianz Riviera

An accelerator to reinvent the insurance of tomorrow

At the heart of the Allianz Riviera stadium in Nice, the Allianz accelerator supports the growth of innovative, promising start-ups from all the world by offering them an intensive 5-month acceleration programme (no need to relocate your start-up in Nice for 5 months) . Start-ups are offered the benefit of a network of mentors and experts, backers and major French & Global VCs and CVCs and given structured assistance in their development.

The start-ups may also be offered a strategic partnership with Allianz or an opportunity to test their solution on the international stage thanks to the group's global presence in more than 70 countries. As part of the Cross-Innovation approach initiated and developed by the Allianz accelerator, startups can also benefit from our co-acceleration programs with other key players such as Oui.sncf in France, Toyota Tsusho Japan and Toyota Motor Europe and can be offered additional support from partners and business development opportunities in Asia.

In order to be selected, start-ups have to offer an innovative product or service that can help reinvent insurance of tomorrow. They must have the potential for significant growth and a strong motivation to scale up their operations.
