About IOT Valley
IoT Valley is an innovation ecosystem based at 1000 L'Occitane in Labège, in the Toulouse area of France, built around business-to-business internet of things and digital transformation work. It runs support tracks for early-stage companies at three stages: Amorçage for seed and bootstrapping, Accélération for startups ready to scale, and French Tech Seed. Alongside the startup programmes it works with mid-market companies and large corporates on their digital transformation projects, guiding them from identifying the business problem through a proof of concept to full deployment, typically inside a year, on the premise that most business problems already have a startup solution. The site hosts a community of around forty startups working in areas such as healthcare, mobility, cybersecurity, IoT infrastructure and business management software, and is backed by the Occitanie region and SICOVAL.
