La French Tech Grand Paris

What La French Tech Grand Paris does

La French Tech Grand Paris is a French non-profit association (Association Loi 1901, RNA W751255098, SIRET 880 870 324 00014), founded in 2019 and headquartered at 12 rue Vivienne, 75012 Paris, with operational offices at Morning - Bourse, 4-6 Place de la Bourse, 75002 Paris. It operates as the official regional relay of the national Mission French Tech for the Île-de-France territory, deploying both national French Tech programs (French Tech Tremplin, French Tech Central, NEXT40/FT120, FT Visa, French Tech 2030, Je choisis la French Tech, HIIT) and its own regional programs (Scale-Up Excellence, Track Intelligence Artificielle in partnership with Hub France IA, Gen50Tech, Ville de Demain with Métropole du Grand Paris, Balance Pas ton PC, Cartographie IA 2026). Its functional role is ecosystem curation: aggregating and connecting 8,000 startups, 355 investment funds (VCs, family offices, buyout, private debt), and 438,500 grands groupes/ETI/PME across 130 communes of the Métropole du Grand Paris through structured programs, Reverse Pitch events, the annual Summer Party (300+ ecosystem actors), and the third-consecutive-year VivaTech pavilion in Hall 7.2 (18 scale-ups in 2026).

The association has no proprietary technology platform; its infrastructure consists of a Webflow-hosted website, WhatsApp member groups, the 'Tech & the City' email newsletter, an Airtable-based member directory and enrollment forms, and a YouTube channel hosting Tech Talk interviews. It does not expose APIs, SDKs, or developer tools, and it is not an AI/ML product company. Its 'product' is ecosystem access and program participation. It monetizes through five tiered annual membership categories: startups (€499), PME (€5,000), investment funds (€2,000), incubators/accelerators (€1,500), and ETI/grands groupes (€10,000), plus partner-driven perks (notably the OVHcloud Startup Program offering up to €100,000 in cloud and AI credits) and public co-funding from institutional partners including Bpifrance, the Île-de-France Region, and the Métropole du Grand Paris. Governance rests on a board of approximately 16 ecosystem executives (including representatives from AXA France, Carrefour, Partech, LVMH, EDF, RATP, FDJ United Ventures, and Viva Technology) overseeing an operational core team of approximately 8 staff led by Directrice Générale Alexandra André.
