What is the purpose of French Tech Days?

Supported by Business France, the French Tech Days event consists in bringing together a delegation of startups from France during those two days to provide them the opportunity to meet the companies that match their need.

The primary goal is to support the growth of startup internationally especially in the Netherlands and Brussels, which is full of opportunities. It consists of various activities including conferences, a pitch contest, B2B meetings and the possibility to network as well.

Business France, a French Government agency, supports the growth of French businesses and promotes foreign investment in France. It also assists and helps them to find commercial partners in target markets as well.

Why the Netherlands and Brussels?

The Netherlands has positioned itself geographically in the middle of Western Europe and is definitely one of the frontrunners when it comes to the startup industry. On top of that, the thriving entrepreneurial scenes and the sheer number of companies make it a market full of opportunities. On the other hand, Brussels is another active and fast-growing startup scene with a strategic location and cosmopolitan population that shares the same languages on the borders.

On top of that, those who are interested in B2B matchmaking can do it free of charge as well.

How does matchmaking works?

The matchmaking session is all about meeting the local companies that match with their needs. It involves a concept very similar to Speed dating for good thirty-minutes with 12 startups having their own table, where each local startup meet one after the another with the goal to sell their services and solutions. Having said that, it allows organizations to showcase what they do and why they believe they are the perfect match. It’s worth mentioning here the matchmaking session is on the 26th afternoon from 1:30 pm until 5:00 pm.
