Our work for sustainable tech

At France Digitale, we are convinced that entrepreneurs and investors must be at the forefront of the social and environmental transition, in France and in Europe. Whether these actors are impact by design or not, we want to anchor ESG issues at the heart of the development of our ecosystem.

France Digitale acts on two main levels:

• We demonstrate that technology provides solutions and highlight « impact by design » startups
• We support our ecosystem in the development of a common analysis framework on extra-financial issues, and contribute to the sharing of best practices.
