[🎂 CAPAGRO'S 10TH ANNIVERSARY 🎂] Last Wednesday, we celebrated Capagro's 10th anniversary!

The evening included a round table with portfolio companies and LPs sharing the benefits of Capagro's ecosystem for them and an address from Mr. Henri-Paul Rousseau, Delegate General for Quebec in Paris, on the key success factors in his opinion for internationalization. Capagro was created in 2014 by an initiative from Avril, TEREOS and Bpifrance and has been supporting innovation to transform the agrifood system by bridging the gap beetween our LPs and innovative and impact start-ups 🤝 The evening ended with a cocktail 🥂 Many thanks to Avril for hosting us for the evening. The whole Capagro team is ready to keep creating value and impact for the years to come 🚀
