Accelerating the evolution of the mobility of the future by leveraging artificial intelligence and sustainability. This is the goal behind the 4th edition of the Digital Factory call for startups, a platform promoted by Crédit Agricole Auto Bank Group, the mobility bank controlled by CA Personal Finance & Mobility, and I3P, the Innovative Companies Incubator of Politecnico di Torino.
Presented at VivaTech, Europe's largest event dedicated to startups (held June 11-14 in Paris) where I3P is an ecosystem partner, the new call is titled "The Future of Automotive Finance: AI, Integration and Sustainability". The call targets innovative startups and companies from across Europe ready to propose cutting-edge solutions for the mobility and vehicle finance sectors.

Selected participants will have the opportunity to collaborate directly with CA Auto Bank and Drivalia, the Group's rental and mobility company, to develop a Proof-of-Concept (PoC), a pilot project that can potentially pave the way for a business relationship with the Group. Younger startups will additionally gain access to I3P's incubation track, receiving strategic mentoring, training and valuable network connections.
