Innovation is often associated with ideas, technology and the people who bring them to life. But turning an idea into a product, bringing that product to market and scaling it internationally requires something more: a strong ecosystem of partners willing to support the journey.

At Kinvent, our ambition has always been to make objective biomechanical data more accessible to professionals in rehabilitation, sports performance and research. From our beginnings in Montpellier to our development across international markets, that ambition has required us to continuously innovate, invest and grow.

And growth is never a solo journey.

Over the years, Kinvent has been fortunate to build relationships with public institutions, economic development organizations and banking partners that believe in innovation and entrepreneurship. Their support has helped create the financial and strategic foundations that allow us to keep moving forward.

Innovation needs more than a great idea

Building innovative technology means constantly looking ahead.

It means investing in research and development before a new solution reaches the market. It means developing hardware and software, strengthening teams, improving production capabilities and supporting international expansion. It also means being able to make long-term decisions while navigating the realities of a fast-growing company.

For an innovative business, financing is therefore not simply about providing capital. It is about creating the conditions in which ideas can become sustainable projects.

The right financial ecosystem can help companies take calculated risks, accelerate promising initiatives and invest today in what will shape tomorrow.

This philosophy is particularly important to Kinvent.

As we continue to develop connected technologies that help professionals better assess movement, strength, balance and human performance, innovation remains at the heart of our strategy. Having trusted partners around us gives us the ability to pursue that innovation while building a stronger and more sustainable company.

Growing from Occitanie, with strong local roots

Kinvent was born in Montpellier, in the Occitanie region of southern France.

While our teams, customers and ambitions are increasingly international, maintaining strong roots in our local ecosystem remains an important part of our story.

Occitanie has developed a dynamic environment for entrepreneurship, research, health and technology. Being part of this ecosystem has allowed Kinvent to connect with institutions and organizations that understand both the opportunities and the challenges faced by innovative companies.

Among them, Région Occitanie and AD’OCC have played an important role in supporting our development.

Région Occitanie

A long-standing partner of Kinvent, Région Occitanie supports regional companies through initiatives dedicated to innovation, economic development and investment.

For Kinvent, this support contributes to our ability to develop ambitious projects while remaining strongly connected to the territory where our journey began. It reflects a shared belief that supporting innovative companies also contributes to creating expertise, economic activity and long-term value within the region.

AD’OCC

As Occitanie’s economic development agency, AD’OCC works closely with businesses at different stages of their development.

Its role goes beyond access to funding. Through tailored guidance, strategic expertise and connections with relevant regional initiatives and partners, AD’OCC helps companies structure their projects and identify opportunities for growth.

For Kinvent, this local expertise provides a valuable bridge between our ambitions as an innovative company and the wider economic ecosystem of the Occitanie region.

Turning innovation into sustainable growth

As companies move from innovation to scale, their needs evolve.

Developing new technology is one challenge. Bringing it to market, strengthening operations and accelerating growth are others. This is where access to different forms of financing – and partners who understand the specific trajectory of innovative companies – becomes particularly valuable.

Bpifrance

Bpifrance is one of the major players supporting entrepreneurship and innovation in France, providing companies with a range of financing and investment solutions throughout their development.

Its support for Kinvent helps us secure strategic investments and innovation projects while strengthening the foundations needed for future growth.

Having a partner that understands the specific financing requirements of innovative companies provides an important lever as we continue to develop our technologies, expand our capabilities and pursue our ambitions in France and internationally.

Banking partners that understand the journey

Traditional banking relationships also play an essential role in the development of a growing company.

As an organization scales, financing is needed not only for major innovation projects but also for investments, equipment, operations and the many structural requirements that come with growth.

Long-term banking relationships provide continuity and help create the financial environment in which a company can plan ahead with greater confidence.

Kinvent is proud to be supported by several banking partners with strong ties to our region and to the entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Caisse d’Epargne Languedoc-Roussillon

Caisse d’Epargne Languedoc-Roussillon supports companies across the region with solutions covering investment, innovation and business development.

Its local presence and understanding of innovative businesses make it a valuable partner in Kinvent’s growth journey. Through this relationship, we benefit from financial expertise that supports both our strategic investments and the continued development of our activities.

Banque Populaire du Sud

Banque Populaire du Sud has developed dedicated expertise around entrepreneurship and innovative companies, supporting businesses as they grow, invest and explore new markets.

For Kinvent, this partnership contributes to our ability to finance development projects and scale our operations while maintaining strong connections with the regional business ecosystem.

It is another example of how local financial expertise can support companies with increasingly international ambitions.

Crédit Agricole

Crédit Agricole is also among the banking partners supporting Kinvent’s development.

Through its business financing expertise and long-term approach to corporate banking, Crédit Agricole contributes to the financial foundations that allow us to invest in our growth and pursue strategic projects.

As Kinvent continues to evolve, relationships such as these provide the stability and flexibility required to keep building for the long term.

An ecosystem built around shared ambition

Each of these partners plays a different role.

Some facilitate access to regional programs and public support. Others specialize in financing innovation. Others provide the banking expertise and financial solutions required to support the everyday realities of a growing international company.

Together, however, they contribute to the same broader objective: creating an environment in which ambitious companies can innovate, invest and grow.

For Kinvent, these relationships are particularly meaningful because they reflect something we strongly believe in: innovation is a collective effort.

Our engineers, product teams, researchers, healthcare professionals and users all contribute to the evolution of our solutions. But the ecosystem surrounding the company matters too.

The institutions and financial partners that choose to support innovation make it possible for companies like Kinvent to transform technological ideas into solutions that can reach professionals around the world.

From local roots to global ambitions

Kinvent’s journey began in Montpellier, but our vision has always extended far beyond our home region.

Today, our technologies are used by professionals and organizations around the world. As we continue to grow internationally, develop new solutions and explore new possibilities in biomechanical assessment, our roots remain an important part of who we are.

Being able to rely on trusted partners – Région Occitanie, AD’OCC, Bpifrance, Caisse d’Epargne Languedoc-Roussillon, Banque Populaire du Sud and Crédit Agricole – gives us a stronger foundation from which to pursue those ambitions.

To all of our partners: thank you for your trust, your support and for being part of the Kinvent journey.

Because behind every innovation is an ecosystem that helps make it possible.

And we are only getting started…
