About France Digitale

Founded in 2012, France Digitale is the largest startup association in Europe, with over 2000 French digital startup and investor members. Our missions? - To foster the emergence of digital champions in Europe. - To voice and unite those who innovate to change the face of the world. - To build bridges and business opportunities between all innovation stakeholders, whether large corporations, public decision-makers, investors, entrepreneurs, or employees of startups and scale-ups. How? 1. By connecting ecosystem players through quality meetings, business appointments, or even institutional hearings. 2. By saving entrepreneurs time through the sharing of experiences, best practices, and the best tools. 3. By launching awareness campaigns with policymakers and the general public (so even our family understands what we do!). Each year, France Digitale offers: - 50+ events: FDTours for fundraising across France, C-level days to unite startup, scale-up, and VC professionals, and the FDDay, the major annual gathering for the entire ecosystem. - 1,000+ meetings between startups and investors, and 450+ meetings with large corporations and public decision-makers. - 20+ mappings and analyses of fundamental and regulatory topics, and even a newsletter with the best tech news to always stay one step ahead. Our goal for the coming years: to support the ecosystem's growth in service of people and the planet to make Europe the leader in responsible innovation. France Digitale is co-chaired by Frédéric Mazzella, founder of BlablaCar, and Benoist Grossmann, CEO of Eurazeo.
