• Unite and energize the regional ecosystem: Bring together founders, support organizations (incubators, accelerators), investors, and public stakeholders to create synergies, foster peer-to-peer collaboration, and break down barriers between initiatives across the region.
• Implement national support programs: Operate the Mission French Tech’s programs locally to support early-stage startups and diversity (French Tech Tremplin, French Tech Nova, La Prépa), provide useful and practical information through case studies (webinar series, workshops, etc.) or accelerate strategic and deep-tech scale-ups (French Tech 2030, FT120/Next40, ScaleUp Excellence).
• Guide and facilitate access to funding and resources: Act as a trusted third party and a first-point-of-contact to assess entrepreneurs’ needs, then quickly direct them to the appropriate funding programs (Bpifrance, the Region, investment funds) or the right experts (DGFIP, INPI, etc.).
• Promote the region’s innovations: Showcase local success stories on a national and international scale (through participation in major tech trade shows, delegations, and communications) to enhance the Grand Est region’s appeal to talent, customers, and investors.

It is useful for establishing connections, gaining market access, networking, visibility, and recognition of the French Tech label.

At every stage.
