A French Innovation That Wins Over the Jury
The final pitch by Romain DeixonneSolecooler’s Marketing Manager, at Toulouse Business School, left little chance for the other finalists. Startups from Montpellier, Toulouse, Béziers, and Perpignan struggled to compete, as this innovation stood out for its originality.
