About Laurent

I help companies, startups, and local authorities structure, finance, and deploy their international development, combining strategic vision with operational execution. I address concrete issues of go-to-market, international market access, and partnership development with a results-oriented approach.

I assist in identifying and mobilizing public funding (France, European Union, international: GIZ, UN agencies...), directly linked to your growth and deployment objectives.
Thanks to my excellent understanding of how European institutions work, I facilitate access to the right contacts and secure your processes.

As a specialist in European and international projects, I am involved in consortium building, strategic partner search, operational structuring (work packages, governance), and project management.
I also support market opening in Europe, North Africa, and North America through ecosystem analysis, networking, and event representation.

My added value lies in a hybrid approach combining strategy, financing, and business development, a strong institutional and economic network, and the ability to quickly transform your projects into concrete opportunities (funding, partnerships, pilots, deals).
