Russ Curry, Ministry of New Media
Business France has picked 20 French Tech startups from an initial list of 100 applications. Experts from Google Cloud, iloveretail.fr, LeadX Capital Partner, Groupe Beaumanoir, Bearing Point (and more) teamed up to form the jury.
Thierry Gadou, CEO & Chairman of SES-Imagotag who is supporting the pavilion said “We know this environment well as we have been exhibiting our solutions for almost a decade. More than ever, shops need to reinvent themselves and master digital solutions. France is a significant player in RetailTech and these companies can help brands achieve this critical digital transformation. Therefore, we are proud to support this delegation and also pleased to invite our three favorite startups to our corner”.
