ENGIE Factory works with founders to ideate, validate, launch and commercialise their startups. Each venture is an independent company led by founders. The venture is also backed by ENGIE which gives founders access to global business networks and resources. After the venture is launched, ENGIE Factory continues to support the startup over the next few years through their growth stage - from getting product-market-fit to commercialisation and further fundraising.
