The different stages of support
A range of risingSUD services
We offer comprehensive assistance that is free of charge while guaranteeing the confidentiality of your project. Our personalized support and the contacts we provide within the existing ecosystem will allow you to easily establish your project in the Sud Provence-Alpes Côte-d’Azur region and help ensure its success.
The team of international experts at risingSUD and the agency’s network of partners will assist you throughout your development project.
After an initial consultation and analysis of your requirements, we work with our partners to provide centralized support and precise answers to your questions and requests.
We facilitate your decision process by providing information that will allow you to evaluate the benefits of setting up in the region. This includes:
- business intelligence, including economic and territorial data
- simulations of costs associated with setting up the project
- identification of public subsidies and financing, and other support systems relevant to your investment
- identification of potential partners for your project.
After the initial analysis of your project, we will organize a customized tour so you can discover the regional ecosystem. This visit program will allow you to create initial contacts with potential technical and commercial partners.
What better way to get to know the region and its opportunities than by spending time in the field?
We will organize your visit program, including setting up B2B meetings with your future partners, introducing you to stakeholders in the regional economy, and offering you a tour of the sites that will be of particular interest.
Once your project has been established in the Sud region, we will leverage our network of partners and take advantage of marketing opportunities to support your communication efforts and promote your project. This includes organizing press conferences, issuing media releases, and creating posts on social networks (LinkedIn, Twitter).
We will also simplify your immersion into the ecosystem and boost your local networking efforts with invitations to economic, sports, and cultural events.
Finally, the risingSUD team will always be available for any questions related to your project and the development of your business.
