Venture360 places your SME, startup or deep-tech project on the IMARA v5 continental maturity scale, validates your answers with a diagnostician and directs you to the support suited to your level.
Three referentials, one maturity scale (0 to 9)
An established SME, a start-up searching for its model and a deep tech project are not assessed in the same way. A short orientation form recommends the referential that suits you; you remain free to choose.
SME Emergence → SME Maturity

How it works
Ten questions recommend the appropriate referential (R1, R2 or R3) or tell you that your project falls under Research360.
You answer pillar by pillar; each answer is saved immediately. Answers at level 2 or above are verified against documents (15 at most).
Score and level, decision-making readings, innovation maturity, verified share of the score, then final report and support plan with the diagnostician.
