La French Tech Val de Loire

What La French Tech Val de Loire does

La French Tech Val de Loire is a French non-profit association (founded 2015, headquartered in Tours, Centre-Val de Loire) that operates as the official regional antenna of the national La French Tech movement for the Centre-Val de Loire region. It does not sell commercial products or services; its role is to animate the regional startup ecosystem and connect early-stage and growth-stage startups to national French Tech programs, including French Tech Tremplin (early-stage funding and mentorship), French Tech Central (centralized advisor booking), French Tech Rise (scale-up support), FT120 and Next40 (top-performer index support), French Tech 2030 (strategic-sector positioning), and Je Choisis La French Tech (responsible-tech labeling).

The organization runs three ecosystem data platforms: the Observatoire des startups (regional startup data and analytics), the Annuaire des structures (directory of support structures), and an explorable startup directory hosted on the Digital Loire Valley connect platform. Events are coordinated through an OpenAgenda calendar. No proprietary AI/ML technology, no commercial product surface, and no API or SDK offerings are disclosed in the source data.

The business model is membership-based rather than transactional: members enroll through the parent association Digital Loire Valley, which provides administrative, financial, and operational back-office support. Revenue (not disclosed) is implicitly derived from membership dues and public-sector grants tied to the French Tech Mission designation. The organization operates exclusively within the Centre-Val de Loire region of France, serves no global market, and reports a headcount of 5 employees.
