Emile Fyon, Co-founder of Penbox<\/h3>\n


We identified the Innoviris POB grant, thanks to Leyton, to support the early stages of our company. Leyton supported and guided us through this initial process. This subsidy was accepted in May. After this first positive experience with Leyton, we decided to collaborate more widely with them regarding all the assistance available for a Tech start-up. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n

The meeting with Leyton<\/h4>\n

\n
\u201cEveryone knows each other in the small world of entrepreneurship and startups in Brussels. Word of mouth works very well in incubators and co-working spaces such as co.station and I was therefore lucky to connect with Penbox shortly after their creation. We met during a networking evening organised by the Software.Brussels cluster on the topic of artificial intelligence. From the first discussions with Emile and Benoit, two of the co-founders of Penbox, we quickly established that there were many synergies between their activities and our services. They have many innovative ideas regarding the development of their platform and they were looking for support around the implementation of incentives related to their innovation.”\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n

Such assistance can secure our development and it is a key challenge for us to maximise our chances to obtain them. Beyond saving time when writing the application, Leyton\u2019s expertise helped us to identify and highlight critical elements from a technology and business perspective\u2026\u201d

“Today, Penbox, which obtained the PoB, is nearing the end of this project with very encouraging news regarding the market needs for their solution and the viability of their business model. Due to our interest in building long-term partnerships, the Leyton team has continued to closely monitor the activities of the company. Through this approach, we identified that the time was ripe for the implementation of various advantageous tax levers linked to R&D activities, thus enabling the young company to reduce its expenses. Currently, we are assisting them in obtaining assistance for the actual development of their solution, an almost logical follow-up after the PoB, targeting a subsidy covering 45% of the costs associated with the entire project.”\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n

Besides this expertise, I am convinced that the fit between all the people involved at Penbox and Leyton is one of the keys to the success of this project. Thanks to this intimacy, we will closely follow the development of Penbox\u2019s activities in order to continue helping them, and look to larger projects such as European subsidies (Horizon 2020\/Horizon Europe), which are a good match for their ambition and talent.
