From La French Tech Japan to French Tech Tokyo >>>
I have been one of the “La French Tech Japan” community initiators back in 2014–2016.
We, with some other tech enthusiasts, animated the French start-up community in Japan, and participated in the premises of the eco-system building.
Our target was to facilitate relationships within French Business organizations like CCIFJ, UBI France, and with French-Japanese Universities…
We built a community of startup enthusiasts, organizing pitches, networking, and VC meeting events in Tokyo and Osaka, and encouraging cooperation and exchanges within the community.
We worked closely with the French government to establish, in October 2016, one of the first labeled overseas French Tech Hubs: French Tech Tokyo was born!
