Connecting and Inspiring
the London Tech Ecosystem
10 years !!
Isn’t it incredible that our humble endeavor, the French Tech initiative, has reached its 10-year milestone?
Mirroring the French launch in London, almost a decade ago (in 2015), Albin and a handful of visionary French entrepreneurs, including myself, embarked on the journey to establish the London Hub as one of the first outside of France. Our motivation was to rekindle our connection with our French heritage and provide unwavering support to the thriving ecosystem from the heart of London.
As we fast-forward 8 years from our inception, we remain resolute in our mission. Today, we are fortified by a dedicated board of 10 individuals and a group of enthusiastic volunteers, each actively contributing to key verticals such as Sustainable Finance, Tech for Good, and Deep Tech.
It's worth noting that the roots of the French Tech movement trace back to 2003, officially making this week the 10 year anniversary!!
Watch the video below to witness our remarkable journey, from a few isolated entrepreneurs to what has now become the most substantial national endeavour globally, championing the digital ecosystem in France and worldwide for those visionary founders shaping the future.
We take immense pride in our robust community here in London, which has grown to over 3500 members, securing its position as one of the largest in Europe and possibly the world. And we are very lucky to be have been supported from inception by our historical partners - Business France, The Franco British Chamber of Commerce and the French Embassy in the UK.
We eagerly anticipate the next 10 years and the promising opportunities they hold. Join us in 2025 as we celebrate our very own ten-year anniversary!
