French Tech 2030: discover the new class!

French Tech 2030

They invent, produce and secure: the 80 companies in the new French Tech 2030 programme are shaping the contours of an ambitious French technology sector.

The new generation of champions working towards technological sovereignty and shared progress

The 80 new laureates are developing strategic solutions in key areas such as artificial intelligence and its applications, cybersecurity, quantum technology, robotics, electronics, space technology and infrastructure.

Their ambition goes beyond technological performance: they are helping to build a safer, more sustainable society. They thus embody the next generation of French Tech: a new generation that combines technological excellence with responses to the challenges of tomorrow.

The new builders of French technological sovereignty

Together, they are helping to build an ecosystem of excellence around digital sovereignty, ensuring that France retains mastery and control of its key technologies.

Each of these companies illustrates the diversity and power of French expertise. Here are a few examples:

  • Synapse Medicine develops AI technologies to enhance the support provided by healthcare professionals, including MedGPT, the first French medical AI assistant.

  • Welinq enables interoperability between classical and quantum computing.

  • Ternwaves, a key player in sovereign connectivity, has developed a radiofrequency modulation technology that connects 300 times more devices.

  • Diamfab is pioneering a breakthrough innovation in semiconductors, replacing silicon in the most demanding applications (energy, space, and nuclear).

In two years, French Tech 2030 has established itself as an accelerator for champions. The first cohort saw the emergence of companies that have become emblematic of French tech and are now recognised worldwide, with some already winning French Tech Next40/120 awards, such as Mistral AI, Alice&Bob, and Exotrail.

In concrete terms, the winners benefit from a year of tailored support from the French Tech mission and its partners to accelerate their development, remove regulatory barriers and take advantage of a collective dynamic that encourages peer-to-peer exchanges, a valuable lever for sharing experiences and best practices.

With proven economic and industrial potential, these companies’ priority is to scale up.

This 2025 promotion confirms France’s ability to bring about disruptive innovations with industrial and international ambition. With €130 million already invested in R&D last year, €1.1 billion raised, 353 patents filed, 18 factories in place and 27 in the pipeline, the technological and commercial success of these companies is the result of cutting-edge research and high-level training.

These start-ups embody a new generation of companies that want to scale up and transform innovation into future industrial successes. Together, they are consolidating the country’s sovereign technological infrastructure: from space to artificial intelligence, robotics and industry.

French deep tech is no longer just a breeding ground for innovation: it is becoming a lever for sustainable growth, the creation of skilled jobs and the reindustrialisation of regions.
