The French Tech Mission at 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 build bridges between start-ups and strategic partners.
We will be there to champion an ambitious vision: that of a mature French Tech sector, delivering key technological solutions for our technological sovereignty. On the agenda: sector-specific meetings between start-ups and buyers, and networking opportunities.
Every purchasing decision is a strategic one. Choosing French Tech is not about making a compromise: it is about choosing solutions of the highest quality – high-performing, innovative and globally competitive – that enhance organisations’ performance whilst building our technological sovereignty.
