As startup funding remains in a prolonged slowdown, some companies are turning to alternative forms of entrepreneurial support that are more operational, more locally rooted, and less tied to traditional venture-capital logic. That is the approach taken by Manutan, which has just opened applications for the sixth edition of its “Moov’with Manutan” program.
The initiative reflects a broader shift in how large groups can engage with innovation: not by acting primarily as investors, but by building closer, more hands-on relationships with entrepreneurs and startups. In Manutan’s case, the program is positioned as a way to support business creation and development through a framework that is both practical and territorial, rather than purely financial.
The article does not provide further details on the new edition, but the launch itself underscores Manutan’s continued commitment to this model at a time when many startups are facing tighter funding conditions and fewer conventional financing options.
