« Je choisis la French Tech » meets 4 objectives:

1. Strengthen technological sovereignty, by meeting the needs of digital, technological and ecological transformation of the economic fabric and public administrations, through the increasing use of French solutions from French Tech, and reduce dependence on foreign solutions;
2. Strengthen the economic impact of the French Tech ecosystem, by maintaining in France the value created (turnover, jobs, industrial sites) by the purchases of companies and public buyers;
3. Increase the income of start-ups, in a financing context that places profitability as a structuring factor of development;
4. Stimulate the innovation of start-ups by providing market perspectives

Main goals:

• Double public and private orders for start-ups by 2027
• 500 partner companies by the end of 2023, and 5,000 in 2027, who undertake to implement actions to increase their purchases from start-ups

The « Je choisis la French Tech » initiative is based on the joint mobilization of the French Tech ecosystem (French Tech Capitals and Communities, associations), public procurement actors (State Purchasing Department, ministries, Ugap), professional federations (Afep, CCI France , METI, etc) and companies (large groups, ETI, SME).

A collective mobilization of the French Tech ecosystem and the economic fabric to strengthen the use of start-up solutions:

• 50 professional associations and federations are committed to the “I choose French Tech” plan

• More than 200 companies have committed:
  
  • “Partner” companies commit to doubling their start-up purchases by 2027.
  • “Support” companies make resource commitments (appointment of a start-up referent, implementation of an accelerated purchasing process, doubling of the number of start-ups referenced as suppliers, events)

Mobilization on public procurement with the State Purchasing Department and actions in preparation on the part of four ministries (Ministry of the Economy, Finance and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty; Ministry of the Armed Forces, Ministry of Ecological Transition, Ministry of Justice), the National Center for Space Studies, etc.
