Why they picked Atlantic France
In the last 5 years, we partnered with 300 companies in their international scaling journey
In 2021, we decided to settle in France because it was our second largest market. The advisor at the French embassy in Italy suggested we try the Impact Program.
All our expectations were exceeded - the support we received was exceptional. They went above and beyond what we expected in terms of support, giving strategic suggestions and challenging our thinking. As a cherry on top of the cake, they even helped us sign a big customer.

The trust and support of the Pays de la Loire Region and the local structures of the region were decisive in the choice process for our establishment.
We are proud to set up Vectice in Nantes, a dynamic French city.

The Impact Program helped us make key contacts in the industrial ecosystem of the western region of France, leading us to establish several partnerships within a matter of weeks.
Looking back, the biggest benefit of joining the Impact Program was this access to immediate connections.
