Bonjour! Hello!
French Tech for Teens is a project inspired by La French Tech. But what is La French Tech?
I love this logo with the origami red rooster. Genius! The rooster is the symbol of France, but the origami suggests global relevance. In my hometown of Montpellier in the south of France (where I was born and raised), there are often big marketing stickers on the city trams that advertise this logo. This was my first exposure to the idea of La French Tech.
La French Tech is an administrative service of the French government. The mission of La French Tech is to support the structure and growth of the French start-up ecosystem in France and abroad.
But…how? Here is a more precise explanation: https://lafrenchtech.gouv.fr/en/about-us/presentation-of-the-french-tech-mission/ .
Concretely, what does La French Tech do?
Take a look at the history of La French Tech from the link above. La French Tech was created in 2013. In 2015, the French government provided a budget of 15 million euros for “the creation of international hubs, presence at events.”
Going back to the link above, I found the answer to my question!
“What is the French Tech Mission? *
The French Tech Mission was set up in 2013 to support the structuring and growth of the French start-up ecosystem, both in France and internationally. It is responsible for implementing public policies aimed at start-ups and federating this ecosystem nationally and internationally.”
I live in Orlando, Florida. La French Tech is not yet in Orlando, but there is La French Tech Miami that is only 3h30 from me.
There is also a chapter of La French Tech in my hometown of Montpellier, France, where I was born and raised: https://lafrenchtechmed.com/ .
That is an impressive federation of hubs of La French Tech, from the south of France to Florida. Bravo La French Tech !
* @LaFrenchTech I corrected the little typo there 🙂
