A 2012 KEDGE graduate, Pierre-Olivier Adam is the co-founder of Pulpe. The start-up is currently incubated at KEDGE's Business Nursery and thus benefits from personalized support.

Pulpe is a start-up incubated at Business Nursery on the Bordeaux campus of KEDGE , whose ambition is to revolutionize the textile industry! A daring project but crucial to reduce our impact on the environment, the textile industry being the second most polluting industry in the world.

For this, the start-up does not use cotton whose culture is extremely polluting, but alternative solutions much more ecological. It is thus eucalyptus, a sustainable, biodegradable material 100% transformed in Europe, which composes the pillowcases and bed linen of Pulpe !

The cultivation of eucalyptus has a lesser impact on the planet:

• The plant grows without pesticides, insecticides or fertilizers;
• The wood chosen by Pulpe comes from certified and sustainably managed forests;
• The fabric biodegrades completely at the end of its life.

Pierre-Olivier, the entrepreneur who co-founded Pulpe, is also a graduate of KEDGE's Grande Ecole program in 2012. His assets for success?

• Skills in Marketing and Business Development
• International professional experience
• Double degree: Master PGE Kedge and Law 

Thanks to his taste for challenge and teamwork, Pierre-Olivier was able to launch himself into entrepreneurship and develop Pulpe with the support of KEDGE Entrepreneurship.
