Culture Policy Support

Markets Human capital Finance

• Government supports local ecosystem development (French Tech, BPI).

• Regions, Cities and Business open new spaces.

• Supporting existing activities instead before creating “new” actions.

• Public actions to promote Digitalization and put digital in the Agenda: CNNum and Etalab.

• Support comes from three main kind of actors: space providers (coworking, incubators), investment companies (VC, Public Investment) clusters (Cap Digital) and hybrid models (NUMA).

• Sharing culture. • Co-opetition culture. • Collaboration is no more an

option. !

• Public and Private bodies tries to simplify their way of collaborating with startups (legal, agility, pilots).

• Meet ups and speed meetings used to identify business opportunities.

• Open Innovation to pilot collaborations.

• A strong network of thematic communities.

• Spaces are resource pools. • Schools runs incubators

and entrepreneurs programs.

• Private code Schools are developing.

• Funding for piloting. • Investments from Investment

Public Bank (BPI). • Small and quick money from

competitions. • Numa example: from public

subventions (80%) to public, private (40%) and self finance (60%).

Culture Policy Support

Markets Human capital Finance

• Risk of turning support into “control” and risk of directing innovation.

• How to coordinate actions ?

• How to support general interest and business focused actions ?

• How to leverage global networks ?

• Risk of using “innovation” as a marketing tool.

• Risk of taking innovation as good by default.

• Go beyond “one shot” events and pilots.

• Go beyond the french market.

• Do not become technological centric.

• Risk of taking “digital” as a technical skill and not cultural.

• Risk of a “top down” approach that doesn’t support emerging communities and technologies.

• Early stage funding is still considered a risk.

• Build success stories beyond “Exits”. !
