The French government has made it a priority to make France a leader in digital healthcare. As part of France 2030, the "Digital Health" acceleration strategy is endowed with 718 million euros and supports entrepreneurs. This strategy is the fruit of a synergy between various government plans put in place to anticipate the future and consolidate a fast-growing industry.

In order to energize and support the maturation of innovations in France, three actions of the strategy take concrete form through the "innovation competition - i-Nov" window:

• Strengthen aides à l'innovation targeted at new digital uses;
• Develop services de téléconsultation/télésanté accessibles aux personnes en situation de handicap;

The State's support, through France 2030 is a decisive factor for strategic, sovereign and sustainable industrial sectors. It is also the mark of a strong commitment to companies via financing, recognized labeling and reinforced communication.
