LE BIVOUAC:
Yesitis chose to settle in the heart of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, at Le Bivouac, a startup accelerator based in Clermont-Ferrand, France. Funded by private and public money, Le Bivouac offers its participating startups access to mentoring and coaching, consultants within a network of large public and private companies, and office space, all for a low monthly fee. At only one and a half years old, Le Bivouac has adopted more than 20 startups offering solutions in healthcare, agriculture, technology, food services, and transportation.
BONJOUR LA FRENCH TECH:
“French Tech” is the term used to describe the French startup community: everyone who works in or for a startup in France or for a French startup abroad. Entrepreneurs of course, but also investors, engineers, designers, developers, incubators, media, public organizations, research institutions, etc. that are committed to the growth of startups and to their international prosperity.
It is also an example of innovative public policy through the French Tech Initiative.
Convinced of the need to promote the emergence of startup success stories in France, the French Government created the French Tech Initiative in 2013. Its philosophy? To rely on initiatives of the French Tech community already in place, showcase what already exists, and create a snowball effect. The French Tech Initiative is not about the government imposing regulations and limits; it’s about the government supporting the startup community. It is a shared ambition, driven by the government, but built by and carried out with all players.
The French Tech Initiative has a strong international presence via its 22 French Tech hubs: New York, Israel, Tokyo, San Francisco, Montreal, Cape Town, Hong Kong, Moscow, Barcelona, London, Abidjan, Seoul, Berlin, Dubai, Los Angeles, Milan, Beijing, São Paulo, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Taiwan, and Vietnam.

EUROPE GETS INVOLVED:
The European Commission has adopted the French Partnership agreement!
On 08 August 2014, the European Commission adopted the French partnership agreement which validates the scope of the 2014-2020 programming of European structural and investment funds (ESIF): the European regional development fund (ERDF), the European social fund (ESF), the European agricultural fund for rural development (EAFRD) and the European maritime and fisheries funds (EMFF).
The ESIF’s interventions must address three major issues:
- employment and economic competitiveness;
- energy and ecological transition and the sustainable management of resources;
- equal opportunities between territories.
The European Union’s support, which amounts to approximately €26.7 billion for 7 years, will essentially focus on:
- The competitiveness of small and medium-sized companies and innovation;
- Youth employment and personalised progress on the labour market;
- Social inclusion to reduce poverty;
- The transition to a low-carbon economy;
- The protection and preservation of the environment and heritage.
This document, produced in close collaboration between the State and the regions, is the result of one year’s concerted action with the national partnership (350 organisations representing the civil society, economic agents, social partners, local authorities and the State). It has been the subject of extensive negotiations with the European Commission.
The adoption of the Partnership agreement signals the launch of the 2014-2020 programming of European funds. The programmes may therefore be adopted by the European Commission within the next few weeks.
