At the VivaTech show, French Tech combines technology and ecological transition
For this 2022 edition, the French Tech mission has taken up the challenge of highlighting only GreenTech start-ups on its stand.
“ We believe that part of the ecological transition will come from technology ”, recognizes Louis Fleuret, before continuing: “ There is a very good Greentech ecosystem in France. Many solutions already exist and are being developed by us, whether in sustainable construction, food, replacement of plastic components, hydrogen, waste recycling, etc. » he explains.
Position France as a leader in GreenTech and ecological transition
If GreenTech start-ups already represent 15% of the Next40 and 12% of the French Tech 120, the objective is to go even further: “ We would like to increase this share to have a huge ecological impact ” develops Louis Fleuret. Necessary prerequisites to have GreenTech recognized as an important stakeholder in the ecological transition.

The French Tech Next 40/120 is one of the support programs created and deployed by the French Tech Mission, which brings together the 40 and 120 most mature start-ups in the French start-up ecosystem.
The French Tech Green20 program in the spotlight
With this in mind, the French Tech mission took advantage of this event to announce the second promotion of the French Tech Green20 program . Objective, to support high-potential start-ups that meet the main ecological challenges. These offer breakthrough innovations on issues defined as part of the France 2030 investment plan : decarbonization of industry, carbon-free hydrogen production, production of electric vehicles, etc.
The French Tech mission is thus responsible for helping the selected start-ups to develop and deploy their innovations on a large scale. “ There are very strong economic opportunities for these start-ups. It’s a very open market for the future, ” explains Louis Fleuret.
However, they need support: “ We help them on several aspects. Mainly on regulatory issues in the GreenTech sector, but also on funding or recruitment issues, ” he explains. La French Tech, for example, provides these young winning companies with a network of correspondents in more than 60 state public services .
The winners also benefit from the network of 108 French Tech communities , all over the world, in order to be put in contact with other French start-ups. A real asset for France, for the development of these young shoots, which no longer hesitate to recruit foreign talent to launch themselves internationally.
