Sofilaro, currently branded Sofilaro Calen, is the Montpellier regional private-investment platform of Crédit Agricole Languedoc and Crédit Agricole Sud Méditerranée. It invests in growth and succession financing, innovative early-stage companies, renewable-energy infrastructure and private debt in six southern-French departments. Capital originates from the regional banks’ own balance sheets. Its historic investment company Sofilaro SAS (SIREN326224490), founded1983, is distinct from Sofilaro Gestion SAS (SIREN444598734), the2002 management company identified by the current website’s legal notice and statutory president of the investment vehicle. This broader platform profile preserves the actual named historical Cilcare buyer rather than substituting Crédit Agricole SA or assigning the old check to the2023 innovation vehicle. Current public management includes thirteen named people, with twelve published authentic portraits. Its six named investment vehicles are recorded with exact legal identities where verified; EUR350M platform assets under management, business-line AUM and published check limits are not completed fund-close amounts. A2017 Crédit Agricole Languedoc report explicitly confirms a EUR240,000 Sofilaro equity investment in Cilcare inJuly2017. Cilcare’s issuer also names Sofilaro in an earlierApril2024 financing and its December2024 latestEUR21M financing; individual2024 checks are undisclosed. The66-card own portfolio is a published selection, not claimed to represent all130-plus supported companies.
