Believing in industry means believing in those who build it.
Industry is a key pillar of economic development, a driver of innovation, and a creator of jobs. But beyond machines and technology, it is above all a human adventure, driven by men and women who dare to create, innovate, and build the future. At Groupe CIM, we believe these entrepreneurs deserve concrete and structured support to turn their ideas into success.
That’s why we have developed a support program for industrial business creation in the PACA region, specifically designed to assist those looking to launch with a solid foundation. This program goes beyond mere financial aid or occasional advice—it provides a comprehensive and immersive framework, deeply rooted in industrial reality, allowing you to structure your project, access essential resources, and grow within a dynamic ecosystem.
Whether you are an engineer, technician, entrepreneur, or innovator with a groundbreaking project, we provide access to the infrastructures, expertise, and networks necessary to maximize your chances of success. Launching an industrial business is a demanding challenge, and we are here to help you tackle it with strategy, expertise, and commitment.
Why choose CIM Atlantique for industrial business creation support in PACA?
Starting a business in the industrial sector comes with very specific challenges. Unlike startups in the digital or service sectors, where a computer and an internet connection may be enough to get started, the industry requires access to heavy equipment, suitable facilities, skilled labor, and a precise regulatory framework.
One of the first obstacles industrial entrepreneurs often face is access to production resources: finding a workshop, acquiring equipment, securing funding, and structuring a viable manufacturing process. Without proper support, these steps can quickly become barriers to bringing the project to life.
Our support program is designed to remove these barriers and offer an integrated solution: rather than leaving you to navigate the complexities of the industrial world alone, we provide access to a structured environment where every stage of your company’s development is made easier.
Tailored support to structure your industrial business.
Our support program for industrial business creation in PACA is built on several key pillars:
Financial support tailored to industrial needs.
Financing is often one of the main obstacles to creating an industrial company. Unlike other sectors, where initial capital requirements may be relatively low, the industry demands substantial investments from the very early stages of the project.
- A capital contribution to strengthen your company’s financial foundation from its inception.
- Support in fundraising to structure your proposal and attract investors specialized in the industry.
- Assistance in developing a detailed industrial business plan designed to convince banks and financial partners.
- Support in identifying and securing grants and public aid, selecting the most suitable programs for your project (BPI France, regional aid, European schemes, etc.).
Ready-to-use industrial infrastructure.
Ready-to-use industrial infrastructure.
Finding a suitable facility for an industrial business can be a real challenge: regulatory constraints, high costs, and limited availability of spaces often hinder projects from materializing due to a lack of accessible infrastructure.
- Offices and workshops at our industrial sites in Normandy and north of Nantes.
- Spaces tailored for design, prototyping, and production.
- The ability to grow within our facilities as your business expands.
- Access to shared equipment to optimize your costs and accelerate your development.
Privileged access to technical resources.
One of the key success factors for an industrial company lies in its ability to master its manufacturing process and continuously innovate. To support you in this area, we provide:
- A design office to help you conceive, model, and test your products before they go into production.
- Workshops equipped for prototyping, machining, and small-scale production.
- Support in automation and industrialization to optimize your production chain and maximize efficiency.
Optimized administrative and legal structuring.
Beyond the technical aspect, an industrial company must be legally and administratively structured from the outset. We support you in:
- Choosing the most suitable legal status for your project.
- Setting up an efficient administrative and financial organization.
- Ensuring accounting monitoring and reporting tailored to the specific needs of industrial start-ups.
Solutions to facilitate the financing of your project.

- The preparation of investment files to secure private and public funding.
- The optimization of your eligibility for schemes such as the Research Tax Credit (CIR).
- Connecting you with a network of investors and institutional stakeholders.
With this support, you maximize your chances of securing the necessary funding for business creation in PACA.
