Green Creative is a French company founded in 2010. It specializes in the design, production and marketing of innovative solutions for the processing and recovery of waste. 
To date, the company has developed two innovations: FLEXIDRY which separates organic waste from its packaging and R3D3, a smart waste bin, which sorts drink packages at source.
Lucile explained how she has constantly innovated and taken part to various competitions. For example integrating FrenchTech delegation at the CES. She has based her communication on the core values : "start-up, green technologies, industry made in France" . She also explained how she turned her clients into sponsors of her business.
Her way to network? Being on the field, meeting with as many stakeholders as possible.
A winning strategy! Clients are proud of purchasing her products, the company has become more attractive to candidates, investors are more confident.

Romain FarouxRomain Faroux, co-founder & CEO at AIRINOV (HEC Challenge+ promotion ​2011-1)

Airinov was founded in 2010 by a passionate team of 2 engineers, Corentin and Florent, and 1 farmers’ son, Romain. Together they started building drones in a barn in the middle of the fields (French version of Silicon Valley’s garage!), with the idea of bringing this new tool to farmers. In no time, farmers told them that they wanted more than nice pictures or coloured maps which they didn’t understand…
This passionnated young entrepreneur explained how he planned his communication : "Our will : show that we are convinced we have the best product" . For him, "Feed-back of customers is key to understand market needs and how to engage with them." He oriented then his communication on TV/Professionnal Press/Local Newspaper : "If we are not in our client kitchen, we would not exist!"
He ended saying  "our technology is no more than a medium to deliver our service"
