Three startups incubated at Montpellier BIC ranked among the top 100 startups in which to invest in 2025 by Challenges magazine

On Thursday, March 27, 2025, Challenges magazine published its ranking of the 100 startups in which to invest in 2025. Among them, three are incubated at Montpellier BIC: AI Stroke, Opale Care, and Breedge. Three others — Yoo Soft, AcuSurgical, and Odaptos — are highlighted for their success in a second ranking by the magazine entitled “Startup 2024, one year later”.

This ranking recognizes startups working in the field of innovation and highlights the excellence of the support provided by Montpellier BIC, which has offered high-level expertise to help startups succeed for the past 37 years. A pioneer technology incubator in France and Europe, Montpellier BIC has received numerous awards for its start-up assistance programs and tools. The incubator has been listed among the world’s Top 5 public incubators in the UBI Global ranking since 2014.

“I am delighted that three Montpellier-based startups assisted by our Business Innovation Centre (BIC) incubator were included in the 2025 ranking of the 100 startups to invest in, compiled by Challenges magazine. This reflects the high standards and excellence of the assistance provided to young companies by Montpellier BIC, the dynamism of our area, and the wealth of its economic landscape. The ranking, as well as the recognition one year after the 2024 ranking of the success of three other Montpellier treasures, once again demonstrates that Montpellier BIC promotes the Montpellier area's excellence around the world, making innovation a key driver of the territory's economic development and job creation.”

Michaël Delafosse, Mayor of Montpellier, President of Montpellier Méditerranée Métropole
