Sopra Steria Ventures

The bridge between the startup ecosystem and Sopra Steria Group

Bringing scale to teams with virtuous and bold ideas

We acknowledge that our World is changing, Business needs are shifting, and Technology is evolving.
The single constant is People.
We believe the Future is in the hands of the next-generation of early-stage founders willing to challenge status quos.

Sopra Steria Group has created Sopra Steria Ventures to serve as the bridge between the startup ecosystem and its clients.

Sopra Steria Ventures (SSV) is the strategic venture arm of Sopra Steria Group. Our mission is to generate startup partnerships for the Group and co-develop strategic offerings. 

 

We are Sopra Steria Group + Ventures.

 

WHAT DO WE DO?

We support early-stage startups through strategic partnerships and/or direct investments between €250K and €1.5M.

For investments, we primarily target:

On top of that, we occasionally support VC firms as LP on “exploratory” themes (Future of Computing, Aeronautic, Sustainability … impress us!).
