Our collaborative approach to moving public policy forward : Appointing startup correspondents accross key ministries and government agencies that share - and execute on - a national pro-startup roadmap

OVERVIEW
The French Tech Government Correspondents Network was established to effectively support the development of French startups through better public policy and services. Composed of over 40 startup correspondents officially appointed across key ministries, public establishments and social security bodies, this network aims to streamline the relationships between startups and government agencies by ensuring that entrepreneurs can benefit from:
- More specific information on legislation or regulations concerning them;
- more coherent public initiatives intended to support the development of startups;
- business opportunities with government agencies.
