French Tech Next40/120: call for applications for the 6ᵉ promotion

A support programme

French Tech Next40/120 offers personalised support to the start-ups promoted, particularly in terms of international development, financing, recruitment and intellectual property. Companies also benefit from greater visibility, both in France and internationally.

Objective selection criteria

The selection of start-ups is based on objective criteria such as sales growth and fundraising. To be included in the Next40, companies must have achieved sales of at least €100 million, with annual growth of 15% over three years, or have raised significant funds between January 2022 and April 2025.

For the French Tech 120, they must have achieved sales of at least €20 million with similar growth, or raised significant funds over the same period.

Ecological transition and parity

The winners of the class of 2025 will have to make a commitment to two key issues: the ecological transition, by providing a carbon footprint covering scopes 1, 2 and 3, and gender equality, by communicating their professional equality index (Egapro Index) with a minimum score of 75, or by presenting an action plan to achieve it.

Applications for the 6th promotion of the programme are open until 28 April.
