The AMIF Lab offers start-ups: regular meetings with local elected representatives; training and familiarisation with working with local authorities; and regular exchanges with large companies open to innovation. It also provides greater visibility, particularly at the AMIF Fair on 2 and 3 June.

A jury of elected representatives and business leaders
On Tuesday 14 April, the jury for the new cohort of the AMIF Lab met, comprising 12 members: mayors, elected representatives and representatives from AMIF’s partner companies.
– Karelle Mbobda-Kuate, Vice-President of AMIF Partenaires, representative of Orange and Chair of the jury, outlined the day’s task to the jury members: to select 11 start-ups from among the 20 candidates.
– Rolin Cranoly, mayor of Gagny (93), vice-president of AMIF in charge of the Ecological Transition and patron of the new cohort of the AMIF Lab, was a member of the jury.
– Sarah Krief, representative of Paris&Co, a partner of AMIF, was also a member of the jury.
Time’s up: three minutes to make the case
The start-ups had three minutes to present their projects: the innovative nature of their solutions, their benefits for local authorities… The presentations, which were both dynamic and varied, covered a wide range of topics.
‘I am proud to be the patron of this AMIF Lab cohort: a wonderful opportunity for start-ups to showcase their solutions and contribute to the innovations of tomorrow alongside local authorities.’
