La French Tech, with Clara Chappaz (French Tech)
How Public Tech Initiatives Can Effectively Support and Scale Startups
Public tech initiatives scale startups by aligning funding, policy, and ecosystems, targeting key transitions like sustainability and inclusion, and translating national strategy into concrete, founder-focused support programs.
Public Tech Initiatives as Startup Accelerators
Public tech initiatives play a critical role in reducing structural barriers for startups. By coordinating public institutions, investors, and founders, they help startups access capital, talent, and markets more efficiently.
Turning Policy Into Practical Support
Effective programs move beyond policy statements to operational tools. Initiatives such as French Tech Green20, Agri20, and dedicated support for industrial startups translate strategic priorities into hands-on acceleration and visibility.
Supporting Sustainable and Inclusive Growth
Programs like French Tech Tremplin and the Parity Pact focus on inclusion, diversity, and equal access to entrepreneurship. These initiatives ensure that innovation ecosystems benefit from a broader talent pool and long-term resilience.
Coordinating a National Startup Ecosystem
As Director of La French Tech, Clara Chappaz highlights how national coordination strengthens startup ecosystems. Shared standards, advocacy with public and private stakeholders, and best-practice exchange help startups scale faster and compete globally.
From Ecosystem Vision to Global Impact
Public tech initiatives succeed when they combine clear strategic vision with execution. By supporting founders through critical growth phases and sectoral transitions, they help transform local startups into global digital and industrial champions.
