International Expansion: French Tech Goes Global

French Tech's international strategy balances attracting foreign talent and investment with supporting French startups' global expansion. French Tech Hubs in major cities worldwide provide soft landing spots for French entrepreneurs while promoting the ecosystem internationally.

The Next40/FT120 program identifies promising scale-ups for intensive support. These future champions receive help with international expansion, recruiting, and regulatory navigation. The goal is creating global leaders, not just national champions.

European integration provides natural expansion paths. French startups can scale across the EU's 450 million consumers relatively easily. This advantage over fragmented markets elsewhere provides growth opportunities. French Tech leads in building truly European technology companies.

Partnerships with other ecosystems multiply opportunities. Collaboration agreements with Israel, Canada, and others facilitate knowledge exchange and market access. French Tech's collaborative approach contrasts with zero-sum competition mindsets elsewhere.
