  • Access to investors and funding opportunities (public and private) to fuel your business expansion.
  • Tailored workshops focused on product development, marketing, and scaling strategies.
  • Networking events with key players in the entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Who’s it for?

The programme is specially designed for start-ups, entrepreneurs and students based in the Interreg SUDOE area (France – Occitanie et Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Portugal, and Spain) who are behind innovative products and/or services with potential to be applied to the automotive and/or aerospace sector, which are characterised by their transversality. SCAIRA seeks to promote projects in initial phases or in the process of scaling up that propose implementable solutions in key fields such as technology, robotics, logistics, sustainability, industrial symbiosis, digital transformation, etc.
