The fourth edition has rewarded four innovative, local, and responsible companies. Who are they?

This year again, the 11 finalists, from regional branches, have highlighted innovative and committed projects, promoting ecology, health, waste recovery, and inclusion.

Hosted by Sophie Jovillard, this digital ceremony has, on one hand, highlighted the finalist entrepreneurs and their inspiring journeys, and on the other hand, honored the regional branches, which play a key role for companies in the territories.

And this edition has given us an unprecedented surprise…

The 1st prize was awarded to FiltraLife, a candidate from Groupama Centre Atlantique.
Awarded for its major innovation, FiltraLife, founded by Auguste Minot, addresses a vital need: access to drinking water. Thanks to a unique device, any water source can be transformed into drinking water without electricity or chemicals. A real water-lution!

For the first time in the history of the Pro Trophy: 2nd prize tie!
An exceptional double victory for Bioteos and Ipsago, rewarding two initiatives carrying common values.

Bioteos, a startup supported by Groupama Nord Est, founded by Romain Dhenin and Romain Baheux, tackles a major issue: air pollution. Through green technology inspired by the oceans, microalgae purify the air in our living and working spaces!

Ipsago, a laureate from Groupama Méditerranée, fights against food waste by offering a healthy and tasty alternative. How? By recovering manufacturing waste, residues, or even neglected fruits and vegetables to transform them into biscuits that are as good for our palate as for the planet!

And in third place, Proxipel, represented by Groupama Rhône-Alpes Auvergne. Proxipel impressed the jury with its concept of waste recovery into wood pellets. An innovation that reduces logistical costs, limits environmental impact, and optimizes the use of local resources. With Proxipel, every resource has potential!

Lastly, the jury’s favorite award went to Cactile. A concept thought up by Jean-Baptiste Landres, via Groupama d’Oc, which tackles the challenges of climate change, especially the dangers related to floods and droughts. Inspired by cacti, its smart tile collects rainwater to store and redistribute it. An eco-friendly solution that could revolutionize rainwater management for urban areas.

With the National Professional Trophy, Groupama is proud to support these small businesses that actively contribute to the dynamics of the territories.
