France Digitale is the biggest European lobby gathering tech startups and investors, so that France becomes fertile ground for the creation of digital champions of international stature. 1500+ startups & funds belong to France Digitale, including Criteo, PriceMinister, Dailymotion, Withings, Vente Privee, etc. In concrete terms, France Digitale’s actions hinge on two main areas: 1. Ramping-up the tech scene in France: community building, a feeling of belonging, networking, knowledge transfers, exchanges of good practices, PR, and so on. 2. Lobbying French public institutions, major economic players, the media, and the European Commission. I'm no longer General Manager but I am still seating at the board of France Digitale.
