Au Delà du Cuir (ADC), an incubator body for leather-sector start-ups in France, has chosen six companies to take part in its 2022 programme.

ADC, whose name means ‘beyond leather’, selects a new cohort in the autumn of each year and takes the successful applicants under its wing for up to three years. Criteria for inclusion are that the companies have to be recent start-ups, and to have turnover of more than €50,000 (to be part of the Emergence programme) or €250,000 (for the Growth programme). ADC says that they should make products that are “unusual, desirable and creative”, preferably manufactured in France or another part of Europe.
