On November 13, 2025, the Hôtel de Région in Bordeaux will host the 4th edition of Innov’Invest, the world’s only investment forum entirely dedicated to winetech.

Organized by INNO’VIN, in partnership with the international trade show VINITECH-SIFEL, this event is part of the national forum Innovaday.

Objective: To connect the most innovative startups in the French wine and vine industry with investors seeking high-potential ventures, in order to accelerate the sector’s transition and support its competitiveness.


A forum born from a strategic need

in viticulture

Launched in 2019, the Innov’Invest forum emerged as part of the regional Vitirev project, which brings together stakeholders committed to the agroecological transition in the wine industry.

Two key observations led to its creation: 

  • A wealth of innovation: As a major wine-producing country, France benefits from a dynamic ecosystem of startups not only in winetech but also in agtech and foodtech, offering concrete solutions to the sector’s challenges. 
  • A lack of support mechanisms: Despite their potential, these young companies often struggle to secure funding due to limited visibility among private investors. 

To address this gap, INNO’VIN created Innov’Invest as a dedicated space for direct connection between entrepreneurs and investors, with a focus on sustainable development and sector-specific innovation.

  • Innov’Invest serves as an accelerator for solutions aimed at tackling the major challenges of the wine industry: ecological transition, job appeal, wine quality, and market access. By fully integrating the event into the Vitirev program, the organizers emphasize its key role in supporting the transformation of vineyards.

    Since its creation, more than €26 million has been raised by forum winners — clear evidence of its growing impact on the ecosystem. 

  • Applications for the 2025 edition are open until September 5. Eligible candidates include:

    • Startups in the wine and vine sector actively seeking funding; 
    •  Companies in the agtech and foodtech sectors developing solutions applicable to the wine industry. 

    After a pre-selection phase, shortlisted projects will pitch before a jury. Winners will receive personalized support, a dedicated booth in the Innov’Invest area, and targeted B2B meetings with investors. 

    Other applicants will be invited to take part in activities and workshops organized as part of Innovaday / Innov’Invest. 

    Join us on November 13 in Bordeaux to discover the innovations shaping the future of viticulture.
