French Tech 2030
The French Tech Mission is launching a call for applications for the third cohort of the French Tech 2030 programme. It is thus continuing to support start-ups developing highly strategic technologies.
The 80 start-ups and scale-ups in the French Tech 2030 programme are shaping the future of ambitious French technology. They are developing key solutions to protect personal data, prevent disinformation, secure critical infrastructure, drive innovation in healthcare, and reduce carbon emissions and dependence on critical resources. The laureates’ ambitions will go beyond technological achievement: the selected companies will help build a safer, more sustainable society.
This third cohort will comprise start-ups and scale-ups working in AI, quantum computing, cybersecurity, space, robotics, electronics, digital infrastructure, healthcare, energy and decarbonisation.
Everything you need to know about the application process

Service offering
As part of the French Tech 2030 programme, the selected companies will receive support for a period of one year. This comprises individual and collective support on the companies’ strategic challenges, such as international expansion, funding, business development, recruitment, regional expansion, intellectual property and regulatory issues.
A dedicated start-up manager
Within the French Tech Mission, start-up managers oversee a portfolio of companies comprising the laureates of the French Tech 2030 programme. Their role is to identify the companies’ key priorities, to mobilise the appropriate range of services and to encourage these companies to engage with government initiatives.
Greater visibility
Companies gain access to initiatives designed to boost their profile, both in France and internationally, notably through their participation in events, the promotion of French Tech 2030 in the media, and their involvement in international delegations.
Financial support
Laureates have access to personalised support designed to help them optimise their funding plan, by facilitating access to public funding and providing enhanced support from private funders.
Support with business development
Winners receive support for their business development through opportunities to meet with public and private sector buyers (major groups, mid-sized companies, etc.), both in France and internationally, thanks in particular to the ‘Je choisis la French Tech’ initiative. These initiatives enable them to forge strategic, technological and commercial partnerships through visibility-building activities and meetings with key decision-makers, both in France and internationally.
A bespoke support service from the ‘French Tech Correspondents’ network
This network brings together 60 government departments, public services and partner organisations of the French Tech Mission, which have joined forces to contribute to the success of the start-ups supported by the French Tech Mission. It helps to simplify and streamline the administrative procedures for the selected start-ups, and to address their needs in areas such as funding, recruitment, intellectual property and international expansion.
Raising awareness of security within their organisations
Information and awareness-raising initiatives are designed to help businesses strengthen the security of their organisations, particularly in the areas of sovereignty, cybersecurity, and intellectual and industrial property.
A community of tech champions
This network brings together 60 public administrations and services that are partners of the French Tech initiative.
Joining the community of laureates of the French Tech Next40/120 and French Tech 2030 programmes means gaining visibility, developing skills and expanding your network through meetings and the sharing of experiences with peers and business leaders.
