One year after its launch, Urban Odyssey continues to expand in partnership with the HEC Incubator housed at Station F. Its objective is to create 5 high-potential urban start-ups alongside entrepreneurs and implement solutions that address the emerging challenges facing cities.
After its first year of existence that saw the launch of 6 start-ups [see infographic below], the Urban Odyssey team is now looking to select co-founders for its upcoming urban projects.
Transition towards a low-carbon economy, preservation of biodiversity, new expectations in terms of quality of life in cities and at home… The health crisis has made these issues even more important. As it combines the agility of a start-up and the firepower of a big firm, Urban Odyssey is an ideal environment to co-create new businesses and implement innovative solutions.
« “The current crisis has offered us an opportunity to reflect even more on the city of tomorrow and rethink the way we live and work, declared Olivier Wigniolle, CEO of Icade. These challenges—which are also opportunities to be seized—lie at the heart of Icade’s Purpose. Thanks to Urban Odyssey, we have enabled internal and external entrepreneurs to deliver projects that meet these expectations. The second edition of Urban Odyssey will attract new talent in which we will place our trust. We will continue to invest together with them to create new businesses.” »
