The French Tech Mission at La REF 2026

On 26 and 27 August, the French Tech Mission will take part in the Rencontre des Entrepreneurs de France, organised by MEDEF. This major event brings together all the key economic decision-makers and offers a unique opportunity to forge links between start-ups and strategic partners.

We will be attending La REF to champion an ambitious vision: that of a mature French Tech sector, delivering key technological solutions for our technological sovereignty.

Every purchasing decision is a strategic decision. Choosing French Tech is not about making a compromise: it is about choosing solutions of the highest quality – high-performing, innovative and globally competitive – which enhance organisations’ performance whilst building our technological sovereignty.

To mark the occasion, the French Tech Mission is organising four sessions at its stand, offering opportunities to discover and engage in exclusive meetings between start-ups and major clients under the ‘Je choisis la French Tech’ label, focusing on themes identified to meet the strategic needs of major clients.
