Overview

Havas Startup Accelerator is the innovation and partnerships entity of the Havas Group, located at the Station F campus in Paris. Its mission is to connect innovative startups in the communication, media, and creativity sectors with Havas agencies and brands. The accelerator runs a program (typically 6-9 months) offering personalized support from communication experts, connections with Havas entities for synergies, and access to the Station F ecosystem. While its primary website mentions a model with a monthly fee and no equity taken, it is listed as an investor in PitchBook for deals such as a 2025 investment in Laizy. The program's focus areas for 2025 include Generative AI, new content formats, media solutions, and consumer insights.
