Late last year, Sylvain exited a fund-raising interview in Lyon much later than he’d expected. He had no choice but to catch the next train back to Paris. Little did he know, he had, by doing so, created the conditions for an unexpected encounter.

As a result, Arnaud Montebourg, then (and still now) Minister for Industrial Renewal in the French Government, put him in touch with a key partner who’d end up supplying him with the core piece of his soon-to-be large scale 3D printer, Galatea.
