THE
AGENDA

DON'T
MISS OUT

2022 represents a new record for La French Tech with 15.5 billion euros (up 32,5%% vs 2021) for 1,144 funding rounds (up 27% vs 2021), according to Eldorado. While many would have bet on a stagnation or even a drop in the number of fundraisers and the total amount raised, the French ecosystem has shown that its dynamics for the moment exceed macroeconomic constraints.

WHY THIS EVENT

Early-stage startups (up to Series A) benefit from greater flexibility and their valuation is less complex to determine in periods of market contraction. Their need for financing is also more adjustable (control of expenses, initial development phases, etc.).
While Series B startups are usually more looking for funding to scale, we believe that bringing together highly promising French Tech startups at these two development stages in the same location is a compelling value proposition for Swiss investors to get direct exposure to this growing French ecosystem attracting international funding.

WHY SWISS INVESTORS

The long-term growth trend in the Swiss venture capital market continued in 2022. The number of financing rounds increased by 7.9% and the total amount invested by as much as 29.7% up to nearly CHF 4 billion. Invested capital has almost doubled since 2020 and more than quadrupled since 2017.
The growing market and the numerous exits also led to a significant increase in venture capital fund launches. No fewer than 55 funds are currently in the fundraising phase; the target size ranges from 50 to several hundred millions.
This all makes Switzerland a compelling value proposition for French Tech Series A / B founders who look for funding.
