French tech firms will have an easier time finding Atlanta with the city s designation as a La French Tech community.
Atlanta has been named a “French Tech” hub, a designation boosters say will put the city on the map for startups looking to expand from France to
North America.
France’s Ministry of Economy, Finance and Recovery announced the seal of approval in a batch with seven other locales that applied, including
Chicago in the U.S., the nation of
Australia and the
Istanbul.
La French Tech hubs exist in about 100 cities about half of them (including 13 tech “capitals” and 45 communities) are in France, with the rest spread around the world. They provide a rallying point for French and “Francophile” companies and serve as a locus for French government’s outbound support programs, which include seed funding, trade missions and more.

Along with helping create a French Tech hub, the French consulate in Atlanta is bringing together scientists, researchers and startups in a network that will help better capitalize on opportunities to foster exchange and cooperation.
The academic and scientific communities are notorious for operating in proverbial silos failing to see potentially game-changing connections because they’re so focused on their own research.
The
Consulate General of France in Atlanta is aiming to make sure that doesn’t happen when it comes to potential partnerships between France and the
Southeast U.S.
The Office of Science and Technology, an arm of the French diplomatic service working across its six missions in the U.S., is building a network of professors, researchers, entrepreneurs and other stakeholders.
