Hexatrust opens applications for the 2027 cohort of the 6th edition of its Accelerator program.
Launched in 2021, it rests on a simple principle: building a sovereign ecosystem also means helping its young companies grow by connecting them with those who have already crossed the scale-up threshold.
Two mentors per start-up, for twelve months
Selected start-ups are mentored for twelve months by executives and entrepreneurs from within Hexatrust. Each laureate is assigned a mentor pair who volunteer their experience and networks.
Regular meetings enable work on current strategic and operational questions:
- finding their first customers,
- refining their positioning,
- structuring their offering,
- identifying partners or financing growth.
Laureates gain visibility within the Hexatrust ecosystem, gain access to the community of its members and partners, benefit from targeted introductions and receive assistance in finding financing schemes and support for innovation. They also enjoy all of the association’s services.
Around a dozen start-ups already backed
Since 2021, the program has supported around a dozen start-ups.
The 2026 cohort notably includes Daspren, which offers a data protection solution combining usage mapping, classification and active control; Logcraft, a platform for SOC teams and detection engineers, aimed at industrializing detection processes and measuring their coverage; and Bravas, a unified platform for managing devices, identities and security designed for SMEs.
Who can apply?
Four criteria are set:
- ownership held over 51% by European actors,
- an annual revenue below €500k,
- fewer than 15 employees,
- an operational solution, i.e., an MVP or a product that has been sold and is actually used by at least one customer. Start-ups already members of Hexatrust may also apply.
Timeline
Applications must be submitted by November 2, 2026. After an initial desk review, shortlisted companies will present their project before a jury of eight figures, during a pitch day organized on December 10 at Campus Cyber. The three winners of the 2027 edition will be announced in mid-December.
