Charles Beigbeder on CNEWS: Advocacy for innovative financing and the growth of disruptive technologies

Charles Beigbeder, president of the Audacia investment fund, was recently a guest on the show “Patrons en questions” on CNEWS. During this interview, he shared his vision on business financing in France and stressed the importance of technological innovation.

He notably addressed the lack of pension funds in France, recalling that the absence of the Thomas law, passed in 1997 but never implemented, deprives the country of a significant savings capacity to finance businesses. He compared this situation to that of the United States, where pension funds have largely contributed to economic growth over the last two decades.

Regarding Audacia, Charles Beigbeder explained that the company positions itself as a support for entrepreneurs, investing in SMEs through development capital and venture capital. He also highlighted Audacia’s specializations in the major current technological revolutions, such as the second quantum revolution, by collaborating with renowned experts such as the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics, Alain Aspect.
