Clever Cloud’s “UP” program is designed specifically to support startups in their early and growth phases. The program promises numerous training, coaching and certification levers, as well as credits for use of its cloud services. Clever Cloud aims to reduce the technical and financial barriers often encountered by young, innovative companies.
There’s more to life than credit
Wishing to make a real impact on the development of startups, Clever Cloud has decided to create a rich cloud support program with onboarding, certification training, a mentoring program, monthly workshops, communication actions and €10,000 in credits, or even more.
“We are delighted to launch the ‘UP’ program at VivaTech, the leading meeting place dedicated to innovation. This program demonstrates our commitment to supporting the entrepreneurial ecosystem and contributing to the growth of innovation. We didn’t want to just hand out credits and leave startups to deal with their cloud issues on their own, but rather become a lever for growth,” says Clément Nivolle, co-founder of Clever Cloud and head of the UP program.
A program and its partners
The program has been built up with partners committed to the development of local startups (ADN Ouest, H7, and others soon to be announced). These partners offer their startups the opportunity to apply to join UP. Finally, the training and certification program has been created with Ecole Hexagone, a French IT school training its students in current issues (AI, digital sovereignty, Green IT, cybersecurity, etc.).
“This enables us to have a first level of selection, and thus better identify tomorrow’s high-potential companies” adds Clément Nivolle.

The UP program offers eligible startups :
- Up to €10,000 in cloud credits in your first year (or more);
