I-Nov Competition: Over €500,000 in funding from Bpifrance and Ademe

Walterre

Walterre, a company specializing in energy efficiency, evaluates and optimizes building HVAC systems, guaranteeing at least a 10% improvement.

Digital platform for HVAC system efficiency

In response to the shortage of qualified HVAC technicians, Walterre has developed WaltApp, an application that centralizes data to improve communication and the accuracy of energy audits, thereby enabling more efficient management of HVAC systems.

Dynergie, a client seeking tax advice on securing its R&D tax credit (CIR) and filing for JEI status, identified Walterre and WaltApp as having the right level of maturity to apply for the I-Nov competition.

Maxence de Langautier

Chief Executive Officer

After failing with an application we submitted on our own during a previous round, bringing Dynergie on board was a winning decision for our company. They quickly understood our business model and our R&D needs, clearly defining our roadmap. Their availability and guidance at every key stage were essential. In addition to being extremely professional, they are also very friendly. Thanks to their support, we successfully secured I-NOV funding.

    Financement bancaire et DeepTech : le levier stratégique sous-estimé

    Dans un écosystème où la course aux levées de fonds privés centralise toute l'attention, le rôle des banques traditionnelles reste trop souvent confiné au second plan. Pourtant, face au durcissement des conditions de marché et à la hausse du taux de défaillance des jeunes entreprises (+7 % pour les sociétés de moins de 3 ans), le financement bancaire par la dette s'impose comme un outil stratégique indispensable pour sécuriser la trajectoire des entreprises.
