Mid-cap companies are considered a key driver of economic development. An analysis of the mid-cap segment undertaken in 2017 showed that France had considerably fewer mid-caps than other EU countries. This triggered Bpifrance’s objective to accelerate the transformation of French small businesses into mid-caps and to quadruple the number of accelerated companies. Bpifrance applied to the Call to reinforce its SME Accelerator programme, supporting the first 18 months of their 2019 programme intake. Bpifrance first assesses the strategic needs and the conditions for growth of the participating SMEs and then organises training sessions, coaching and networking events for the participating companies.
