La French Tech ecosystem
Since its launch in 2013, the French Tech ecosystem has seen relentless growth. Earlier this January 2022, "La French Tech" celebrated its 25th unicorn, 3 years ahead of the initial plan set by the Ministry for Economic Affairs. According to EY's annual report, the ecosystem's total fundraising amount reached €11.6 billion doubling the past year's figures.
While the ecosystem has still not got to list a startup in France's stock exchange CAC40, startups will have to continue their fast growth and ultimately demonstrate their ability to be profitable. The next goal will be to reach 20 decacorns (valuation beyond US$ 10bn) by 2030.
Expando at the starting point of startups' international journeys
As part of this 6-month program, the Expando core team will benefit from mentoring, workshops, and fast-tracked access to the French Tech ecosystem. As we aim to make the world remotely accessible to all startups, we believe it's vital to have a firm foot in Europe's fastest-growing tech ecosystem.
