DEGROUX BRUGĖRE SUPPORTS BPIFRANCE IN ITS ACQUISITION OF A STAKE IN YOUSIGN, TO DEVELOP EUROPE’S SOVEREIGN ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE PLATFORM

Bpifrance invests in Yousign, via its Digital Venture fund, to support the deployment of a sovereign European electronic signature platform.


The Banque Publique d’Investissement will enable Yousign to strengthen its position as European leader in electronic signatures, by offering a solution that complies with the most stringent security standards and regulations in each country, and by accelerating its roll-out to a wider range of companies.

Yousign is the only eIDAS-certified European player of sufficient scale to meet this need and to guarantee, beyond the compliance of their agreements, sovereign processing of their strategic data. In addition, the French operator aims to cover the entire contract dematerialization chain by 2025. Yousign will reach profitability in the same year.


Jérémie Swiecznik, partner in the Transaction Department, Benoît Courtet, counsel, and Maxim Khlopotin, associate, advised Bpifrance on this transaction.
