Ternel leads Mercateam's €5M Series A round with ISAI and OSS Ventures! 🔥 Founded in 2020 by Adrien Laurentin and Kévin ROUVIERE, Mercateam is a dedicated tool for a population that is poorly served by digital assets: blue-collar workers. At Ternel we believe that technology can improve the working environnement and must be inclusive. Mercateam is made up of several modules designed to simplify the monitoring of technical skills and planning management for plant operators. This solution enables employees to make the most of their skills throughout their carreers, and puts them back at the heart of industrial processes. 🏭 This funding round will accelerate Mercateam's international deployment and R&D efforts. We are proud to support them in their ambitious project! -- Rodrigue Leroy Juliette Huot Juliette Mopin Jean-David Chamboredon Renan Devillieres Karim Jouini Jihed Othmani Ahmed Fessi
