Tech
«From an initiative to a movement, “French Tech” is much more than a catchphrase.»
The ecosystem of French start-ups and scale-ups in the Tech sector, supported by booming French and international venture capital funds, by the French government through a range of policies adopted with the sole purpose of supporting them, and backed by public (including Bpifrance) and private financial institutions, is today a major engine of growth for the French economy.
In the coming years, the energy generated by this engine will most certainly be a source of innovation and growth in sectors of the economy as diverse as health and medical devices (MedTech), insurance (InsurTech), education (EdTech) and agriculture (AgriTech), to name but a few. This in turn explains the growing mobilization of well established companies in these sectors around our start-ups and scale-ups.
Whether it is the start-ups and scale-ups themselves or their partners (investment funds, or industrial groups as strategic partners, suppliers, clients or investors), Jeantet is active and committed alongside all our clients in this ecosystem.
We provide these clients with a team with transversal expertise, in order to advise them on all the business law issues they face, often in the context of strategic operations and sensitive matters, but not only: our teams are permanently accessible and available, responsive and driven by our core mission to provide effective and adapted solutions.
