Who is our customer
Bpifrance is a limited company, partially owned by the French state, created to support the development of French companies of all sizes, from startups to large listed multinationals, through credit, equity investments, export finance and business services. Bpifrance has been active in Africa for 20+ years with the objective of contributing to the development of African economies and creating bridges between African and European business ecosystems; and, Africa is now Bpifrance’s top priority for international business development.
What is our funding objective?
The objective is to strengthen the delivery of services to Moroccan entrepreneurial support organizations (ESOs) participating in the second phase of the “Innov Invest Fund (F2I)” which is the Moroccan government program led by Tawilcom that will deploy a range of financial products for participating ESOs to ultimately help hundreds of startups over the life of F2I. FMO’s funding will work in parallel with F2I to improve overall effectiveness of building the Moroccan tech ecosystem by providing investment readiness support to ESOs funded by F2I and connecting the local ecosystem with international investors and corporates through Bpifrance’s EuroQuity platform and other resources to help scaling ventures.
Why do we fund this investment?
This project is an integral part of the Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Building Component 1(b), particularly phase 2 focusing on prioritized markets, of the FMO Ventures Program (FVP) Technical Assistance Facility funded by the European Commission and Dutch Government. The underlying principles of this approach are to empower existing actors to deliver more sustainable, long term market solutions while co-funding and collaborating with other partners where possible.
