BPI, BNP and Amundi in €10m round for Splio

Amundi had so far been a self-sustained company since inception in 2001, and opens its capital to external investors for the first time.

BPI France invested via its Fonds Ambition Numérique, a fund dedicated to growing digital startups and part of the group's Programme d'Investissements d'Avenir initiative, to which Caisse des Dépôts also contributes.

The funding round will enable Splio to develop its new platform, Spring, providing customer experience management services, and to continue its international rollout. The group most recently expanded into the Chinese market and will look to strengthen its position there, as well as in other emerging markets.
