PARIS – AOI OEM Vi Technology will receive some €15 million in new funding from a trio of investment firms for use in product development and marketing.  

Bpifrance and CM-CIC Capital Innovation are investing €7.5 million and €3 million, respectively, in the company, Vi said. Longtime investor Neptune Technologies is also contributing to the €15 million capital plan.

The transactions were first announced in September.
