CrowdSpirit is part of the incubator GRAIN

Here is some news from the CrowdSpirit project, as we’re more alive than ever. CrowdSpirit is now part of the French incubator GRAIN .

Located in the Grenoble area, Grain particularly encourages the creation of new companies with high growth potential, helping them integrate into the regional economic system. Grain has a notable role in the transfer of technology from public research to new companies: these companies integrate the technology in such a way as to convert it into a significant competitive advantage for themselves.

Each project selected by Grain must:

• integrate a proven technology coming from a public research laboratory
• propose innovative products or services
• prove its economic viability
• be ambitious with respect to its growth potential

You can find the CrowdSpirit’s Description here and all the others companies here.
Here are some figures :

• 106 projects have been conceived : 9 in 1999, 11 in 2000, 10 in 2001, 15 in 2002, 14 in 2003, 14 in 2004 and 20 in 2005, 9 in 2006 and 18 have been stopped.
• 54 start up creations : 4 in 2000, 6 in 2001, 9 in 2002, 14 in 2003, 6 in 2004, 11 in 2005 and 13 in 2006
