La French Tech is a quality label by and for the French startups and entrepreneurs, designed to make them proud and more visible, under the same banner.
La French Tech is a thriving community of diverse actors involved in tech (entrepreneurs, engineers, designers, investors, tech lovers, and public operators like BPI or Business France) in all sectors (digital, biotech, medtech, fintech…). Among that community are champions like BlaBla Car, Scality, Netatmo or Drivy. There were 97 deals in the first few months of 2016, confirming France’s position as the startup leader in Europe.
La French Tech is a movement illustrating the changes taking place in France at the moment: people are greater risk takers (37% of the French would like to create their own business) and a lot has been done in recent reforms to make things easier to invest in our country.
Last but not least, La French Tech is about being open to the world and welcoming foreign talent: the French Tech Ticket Program was launched in 2015 and aims at international startups that wish to set up in France. The first edition received 1,372 applications from 90 countries, while only 23 projects were awarded a French Tech Ticket.
