It is in a roomy rural setting, located in the heart of the Bois de Boulogne, in Paris, that France FinTech, lobby for young technology startups in finance, organizes its summer evening on Tuesday July 9. The name of the place? “Pigeon gun”. How can we not see the almost Freudian symbol of a French technology company concerned about its future?
It is under this term “pigeon”, in fact, that digital businesses have united in 2012, fearing taking advantage of the supposed tax law “receiver”. But that year, they found their champion: Emmanuel Macron, then deputy secretary general of the Elysée, convinced the President of the Republic, François Hollande, to withdraw. This event marks the beginning of a relationship between startups and a political leader who accepts “disruption”, as demonstrated once again by the choice to dissolve the National Assembly after the European elections of May 9. Almost history love, then.
But the awakening is terrible. From Versailles to Las Vegas, from the Elysée to Davos (Switzerland), the Head of State has developed French Tech so much that its members fear that they are victims of its electoral backlash, because they are considered too close to the political leadership of you are very depressed. “My fear is that those outside the human ecosystem will not understand how useful our intervention is. Even more so with the advent of artificial intelligence, some may feel excluded from innovation”said Roxanne Varza, director of Station F, the “Cathedral” of startups, in the 13th arrondissement of Paris.
“François Mitterrand goes to the villages every Wednesday, Jacques Chirac feels the cows and Emmanuel Macron beats the unicorns [surnom donné aux start-up valorisées plus d’un milliard de dollars, soit environ 922 millions d’euros] »quips Hugues Le Bret, president of Nickel, promoter of “news [bancaire] for everyone “. The French Tech and its red cock was created in 2013 by Fleur Pellerin, then minister in the government of Jean-Marc Ayrault (2012-2014), the future President of the Republic gave a new dimension to the program when he became the minister of economy, in 2014: by his personal taste, by the need to combine his art with modernity, by his request for the monarchy.
For the whole world, Emmanuel Macron became the headline of French Tech, during his trip, in January 2016, to the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the world’s top destination of the sector. With his three-day beard, he is the “king” of an evening financed to the tune of 289,000 euros by the French Chamber of Commerce, and repeated every night in the world with exciting deals.
