What an inspiring two days! On June 16–17, BioFashionTech had the honor of being one of 10 Italian deeptech startups selected for the Young Entrepreneur Program – YEP Award, hosted in Nantes by Pépite France and PNICube. It was a unique opportunity to connect with France’s vibrant innovation ecosystem and bring our circular bioeconomy mission to a European stage.
🌱 At BioFashionTech, we’re transforming fashion industry waste into valuable biochemicals — turning a global challenge into a circular opportunity. Sharing this vision with French investors, researchers, and ecosystem leaders was both energizing and deeply aligned with our mission.
Over 40 one-on-one meetings, two days of knowledge exchange, and countless moments of insight — we’re returning home full of ideas, connections, and new momentum.
👏 A huge thank you to the local innovation champions who made this event shine: Paris Mulye, Ziad Maksassi, Raoul Ouambo Tobou, Lydia Meignen, Eloïse Denis-Péchard, Nadia Chibouti — your support and ecosystem energy made a lasting impression. And deep appreciation to Jennifer Hevin, Baptiste Clair, Alexandre Boulay, Alexis Riou, Abasse Goudiaby, and Jeremy Navon for your guidance on preparing to meet investors and scale impact.
🙏 With gratitude to the organizing teams and our fellow innovators — including Tiffany Ziller, Giovanna Laterza, Alain Asquin, Nina Franchet, and Claire Duveau Morteau — for building this essential bridge between Italy and France.
We believe deeptech and sustainability are not separate paths — they are the future together. And this is just the beginning. Europe is rising, and so are we.
💙 See you soon — Merci & Grazie mille! — The BioFashionTech Team
