Networking Premium Group (NPG), the professional networking specialist, has announced an initial round of funding of €650,000 from leading business angels, including a politician and experienced company directors. The funding will enable NPG to develop new products and services and expand into new markets.
"Having a powerful network is more than just an advantage, it's a catalyst for success and career development. Over the years, I've seen how simple contacts can be transformed into real levers for growth. And yet, how many talented people remain unrecognised because they are not connected to the right network?
Since the start of my career, I have always been driven by a passion for connecting people who seemed compatible. The Networking Premium Group (NPG), which I founded in 2022, embodies this passion and the expertise I have built up over more than 30 years,’ explains Alain Marty, CEO and founder of NPG.
Le Networking comme clé du succès
Nearly 80% of professionals consider networking to be important to their success, and 70% of people have been hired in a company where they had a contact. Yet almost 40% of people find it difficult to maintain their network. That's why the NPG puts networking at the heart of its services, which come in three packages:
● Outplacement
This NPG innovation, known as the ‘Networking Business Package’, is based on two pillars: networking coaching and access to influential clubs and networks. It is aimed in particular at Executive Committee members in career transition, offering them the chance to take part in over 100 networking events a year, organised by influential clubs, circles and networks (conferences, breakfasts, lunches, afterworks or dinners). The NPG offers a resolutely new approach to networking, treating it as a genuine skill to be developed and nurtured.
The aim of the "Networking Business Package" is to enable participants to:
Meet the decision-makers of the companies in which they want to bounce back
Understand how networking works and what is at stake
Develop effective networking strategies
Learn how to identify and target relevant contacts
Learn how to present yourself and your strengths
Maintain and develop your network over the long term
● Networking training
The NPG also makes all its expertise and knowledge available to companies, through comprehensive e-learning courses and BtoB conferences on internal and external networking, and even international networking for the integration of professionals transferred abroad.
This programme is aimed at ambitious start-ups, growth SMEs and SMIs wishing to recruit independent directors. The service also includes the creation of an Advisory Board.
