Launch of France Deeptech
April 1, 2024
France Deeptech is a non-profit set up in 2023 to turn French deeptech startups into international champions and to build a sustainable deeptech ecosystem in France and Europe, in order to enhance the region’s sovereignty.
Its more than 200 members come from French startups, investment funds and research labs.
The deeptech sector’s intrinsic complexity requires bespoke financial and strategic support. The organization has put forward concrete measures, from promoting investments in the sector to public procurement and technology transfers, as well as the regulation of living organisms.
“We are going through an industrial revolution, with ramifications that are as important as they were in the ages of coal, electricity and the internet. It’s crucial to rapidly build out French, and particularly European, ecosystems so that they are able to compete with other economic powers. The quality of our R&D, with the international recognition of our expertise in sectors of excellence like quantum mechanics and nuclear power, the scale of public financing available and the momentum of French deeptech startups are real assets that will help to reach this goal””
