Giving back to society
We believe that innovation lies at the heart of tomorrow’s world, where entrepreneurs are the driving force, and education serves as the catalyst to progress.
Our commitment to responsibility is reflected in concrete actions. From 2018 to 2022, we supported social entrepreneurship through philanthropy, annually contributing to both Ashoka France and the EPIC Foundation. Since 2023, Ventech has also taken the initiative of supporting L’ENVOL, a charitable organisation for children and young people with serious illnesses.

Since 1981, Ashoka has built the world’s largest network of social entrepreneurs, now comprising over 3,500 social entrepreneurs across 93 countries.
