# Top 33 startup incubators and accelerators in Nouvelle-Aquitaine

Tamtam tracks 33 startup incubators and accelerators headquartered in Nouvelle-Aquitaine. This list ranks all of them by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by ESTIA Institute of technology, Grand Port Maritime de Bordeaux and Bordeaux INP. Their median headcount is 20. Half of them were founded in 2010 or later. The most common headquarters are Bordeaux (10), Agen (2) and Limoges (2).

Nouvelle-Aquitaine's startup incubators and accelerators are primarily mid-sized organizations with a strong focus on higher education, public administration, and business support. Notable entities include ESTIA Institute of Technology, educating trilingual engineers, and Bordeaux INP, a federation of engineering schools. UNITEC assists startups in digital, life sciences, and engineering, while ADI Nouvelle-Aquitaine supports economic transformation through innovation.

Several organizations are headquartered in Bordeaux, such as Maison de l'Emploi et de l'Entreprise de Bordeaux, which promotes employment and entrepreneurial development. Another pattern is the significant presence of entities linked to public research and technology transfer, like SATT Aquitaine Science Transfert, which commercializes public research, and AGROPOLE, a European technopole for the agri-food industry.

## How this list is built

Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 11, 2026.
