The Startups village

Innovation and start-ups are part of the DNA of EQUIP AUTO Paris. This is why the show has brought together start-ups, investors and vehicle maintenance and repair professionals operating in the after-sales sector or working on mobility-related projects.

This initiative enabled these start-ups to benefit from the aura and international impact of EQUIP AUTO with the traditional players in the sector, but also with industrialists and investors interested in new projects linked to mobility.
