French Tech Central
The French Tech Central programme, launched in 2017, aims to make it easier for all start-ups to access the main public services in their territory that are useful to their daily lives and growth, with the aim of identifying their specific needs and ensuring a coordinated response between public players.
Programme description
Programme objective
This programme involves the permanent or occasional physical installation of government representatives in the totem sites of the 16 French Tech Capitals. It is the French Tech network that deploys the programme in their territories. There are more than 60 public administrations partnering the programme and more than 245 correspondents meeting the needs of start-ups.
Service offer
The French Tech Central programme is deployed by the French Tech Capitals in their territories. It is aimed at all start-ups, with the mission of facilitating their local access to the main public services that are useful to their daily lives and growth.
Personalised support
This support, deployed by the French Tech Capitals with the support of public partners, takes a variety of forms: office hours, workshops and masterclasses. These meetings, aimed at all start-ups, are organised according to their needs.
Cooperation between start-ups and the public sector
During these meetings, and depending on the opportunities, public-sector players and start-ups can work together, for example, on public procurement procedures, open innovation initiatives or beta-testing.
Key data for 2023
