Believing in industry means believing in those who build it.

At Groupe CIM, we hold a strong belief: industry is a pillar of our economic future. But beyond innovative projects, we believe in the people who drive them. That’s why we have developed a unique support program for industrial business creation, designed for those who want to embark on entrepreneurship with both ambition and pragmatism.
Creators, engineers, technicians, project leaders: if you have an idea, expertise, or a solution to industrialize, we provide you with the resources, tools, and framework needed for success.
CIM Atlantique supports you in this transformation by offering innovative solutions tailored to your sector.
Business creation support designed for the industry.
Starting an industrial business cannot be improvised. Unlike other sectors, it often requires significant material resources, specialized technical skills, and a suitable environment to prototype, test, produce, certify… and grow.
That’s why our industrial business creation support is based on an integrated model rooted in the industrial ecosystem, far from generalist incubators or purely theoretical programs.
We offer you much more than just advice: we become an active partner in your project.
