La French Tech is a movement bringing together talents and energies to support growth in France and abroad, with the ongoing objective of fostering innovation.
On the Côte d’Azur, it encounters the best of both worlds, as every day new project leaders illustrate by applying to incubators, participating in pitch competitions, or presenting to investors.
In the words of Eric Léandri, “those with a bit more experience and resources will make it a point to pave the way and share energy and resources with the emerging talents that flourish here every day before our eyes.”
Its leadership has been renewed, confirming Eric Léandri (Qwant) and Cédric Messina (My Coach Football) as co-chairs, and establishing a new organization by major zones with the four key structuring entities of the Azur territory – Nice Start Ups, Telecom Valley, Club des Entrepreneurs du Pays de Grasse, Club des Entreprises du Numérique de Cannes, from which the four Territory Vice Presidents come: Sébastien Aubert (Adastra) for Cannes and Pays de Lérins, Frédéric Besson (The Perfumist) for Grasse, Frédéric Bossard (Data Moove) for Sophia Antipolis, and Olivier Ricard (360&1) for Nice.
The position of Treasurer was also assigned to Frédéric Bossard (Data Moove).
Finally, with the announcement of Angélique Caranta’s imminent arrival in a crucial operational coordination role, Jean-François Carrasco was appointed Deputy Director by those present.
