Welcome to the candidates from Groupama Centre Manche, Groupama Rhône Alpes Auvergne, and Groupama Nord-Est! More candidates will be presented to you soon, stay connected!

Madame Moustache (Groupama Centre Manche)

Madame Moustache, the perfect alliance between indulgence, the art of thrifting, and showcasing local artisans. Behind Madame Moustache lies much more than an address: a tea room, thrift store, vintage shop… All in one place! Imagined by Alexine VAILLANT and located in La Ferté-Bernard (72), this innovative concept offers a retro ambiance where you can both savor homemade cuisine prepared with local products and find a vintage treasure.
Here, everything is for sale – from the slice of tart to the favorite outfit, and even the plate! Every day, lunches and snacks are cooked on-site to offer a gourmet break in a warm setting. Perfect for relaxing with friends or solo, surrounded by decorative items and clothes for sale. But it doesn’t stop there! The salon also offers various workshops – cooking, ceramics, writing – led by local artisans, showcasing regional know-how.

With fresh, healthy, and seasonal products in a short supply chain, an eco-responsible concept that supports local artisans, Madame Moustache is really worth a visit if you pass through Centre-Manche!

Proxipel (Groupama Rhône-Alpes Auvergne)

Proxipel, the technology that promotes the circular economy. Proxipel is a simple yet revolutionary idea: producing pellets from usually neglected local raw materials.
A mobile trailer allows recycling residues produced by an activity into heating pellets (or pellets) directly on site without having to transport them to a factory. The result? Custom production based on the needs and productions of the territories, which reduces logistical costs and optimizes the use of local resources, while minimizing environmental impact.

Proxipel addresses three major challenges: making territories more energy-independent, valorizing unused resources like coffee grounds or wood scraps, and protecting forests by producing energy without cutting trees.

Bioteos (Groupama Nord-Est)

Bioteos, the technology that changes the air you breathe. Every year, air pollution kills 7 million people worldwide, and fighting indoor air pollution is just as important, as it is 5 to 7 times more polluted than outdoor air! Founded in 2020 by Romain Dhenin and Romain Baheux, two young engineers from the North, Bioteos tackles this type of pollution by drawing inspiration from the ocean and microalgae. The two engineers developed a patented technology, 70 times more effective than traditional solutions. It comes in two main products:

• OXYLON Urban: Intended for public spaces such as metro stations, capable of purifying 700 m³ of air per hour.
• OXYLON S: For office and coworking spaces. This system treats 150 m³ of air per hour. Accelerated by the COVID-19 health crisis in 2020, Bioteos understood that their technology could address not only air pollution but also the need to make public spaces safer and healthier. Proud of its roots in the North, Bioteos prioritizes short supply chain production, collaborating with regional partners. Their technology has also been tested in the Lille metro, where it proved effective in significantly reducing pollution!
