Walterre

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

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.
