Made In 92 Prize - Boucle Nord de Seine Stage

On Wednesday, December 17, 2025, the semi-final of the Made in 92 competition – Boucle Nord de Seine stage – took place at Asnières City Hall: 19 projects selected (out of approximately 90 applications) divided into 4 categories.

Objective:
- Pitch for 3 minutes behind closed doors to a jury
- 1 project per category selected to go to the final in May 2026.

The rollercoaster:
- Preparing the pitch.
- Rehearsing for hours and hours.
- Feeling the adrenaline rise.
- Entering the jury room (an impressive assembly of 30 to 40 experts).
- Waiting for the results.
- And hearing the verdict…

In my category, Social and Solidarity Creation, it won't be æquidem 😔 but another very beautiful project that will go to the final to represent BOUCLE NORD DE SEINE 👏

Yes, a little disappointment nonetheless.

And then… the announcement of the BOUCLE NORD DE SEINE Jury Prize 2025 arrives.

🥁🥁🥁

Only one project rewarded, all categories combined.

🏆 and that project is æquidem

Last year, the project did not pass the initial selection. This year, no final… but incredibly… the jury prize 🎉 an immense recognition and valuable funding for the launch.

Which just goes to show… this result reminds us of one essential thing:
- persevere, don't give up, try again, even when it didn't work the time before.
- the path is not always the one planned, but it holds beautiful surprises ✨

With æquidem, we have a strong conviction: to quickly promote a new vision of fashion - useful & inclusive - by creating clothes that combine practicality and style for young people temporarily or permanently hindered by illness or accident.

It was truly a great moment, challenging, energizing, supportive, inspiring, in a magnificent setting ✨

🙏 Many thanks to BOUCLE NORD DE SEINE, the CCI Hauts-de-Seine, the Hauts-de-Seine Department, the jury members, and Asnières-sur-Seine City Hall for the welcome!

Also very proud to represent my city of Bois-Colombes!

👏 Bravo to all the great entrepreneurs met during this stage, and best of luck to the 4 laureates who made it to the departmental grand final 💪 We will be there to support you! Mohamed BOUALAOUI Salma BAKHKHAR Cécile Colas Lancelot COUJARD
