About France

Think delicious old world wines, crunchy baguettes smothered in creamy cheeses and you have France in your head. Known for its couture fashion, art museums, the Palace of Versailles, Paris, quaint stone house villages, mountains, Mediterranean beaches and that oh so European culture simply oozing into the air. France is vying to become the European startups go-to haven.

The French government is listening to what startups need and they have a dedicated minister with a brand "La French Tech" to promote French startups internationally. Foreign investors regularly look to France for opportunities, as well as France having its own entrepreneur friendly investors for seed funding. There is a strong tech community with plenty of coworking spaces happening, accelerators, meet-ups and several annual internationally focused conferences. The hubs are happening not just in Paris, but also in areas such as Nantes, Lyon, Toulouse and Bordeaux to name a few. France has numerous internationally acclaimed engineering talent and top business schools pushing the young talent forward as it is fast becoming a trendy thing to be, an entrepreneur.

Getting right behind what the government is sprouting about, France is in the throes of building what they claim will be the world's largest digital incubator, the Halle Freyssinet building due to be completed in 2017 and predominantly financed by entrepreneur Xavier Niel to the tune of around €200m. It is hoped that it will be a springboard for the new generation of budding entrepreneurs in the digital world and create a unique ecosystem bringing all the players under one roof of innovation.
