Alex Dewez Releases State of the French Tech Ecosystem Report

Alex Dewez, a partner at 20VC, has recently unveiled the highly anticipated State of the French Tech Ecosystem report. This report offers a detailed analysis of the French startup landscape, providing valuable insights into the current state of the ecosystem.

The report serves as a complement to Atomico’s State of European Tech report, offering a more focused perspective on the French startup scene. According to Dewez, the French tech ecosystem saw €7.1 billion in venture funding in 2024, a slight increase from the previous year’s €6.8 billion. However, this figure is significantly lower than the €11.8 billion raised by French startups in 2022.

While there may be discrepancies in data from various sources, the overall trend remains consistent. Venture funding in France has remained relatively stable year over year, with artificial intelligence emerging as a key driver of investment. In fact, AI startups accounted for 27% of total funding in 2024, experiencing an 82% increase in funding compared to the previous year.

This shift towards AI reflects a broader trend in the tech industry, where investors are increasingly focusing on opportunities in artificial intelligence. While some may view this as a potential slowdown in non-AI funding, others see it as a promising sign of innovation in the sector.

Key Highlights from the Report

France continues to hold its position as the third-largest tech ecosystem in Europe, with Paris ranking as the second European city in terms of total funding. The country is home to 45 unicorns, with three new startups joining the unicorn club in 2024.

Despite these successes, 2024 also saw several high-profile bankruptcies, underscoring the challenges faced by startups in a shifting economic landscape. Companies like Ynsect, Cubyn, and Luko struggled to secure growth rounds, highlighting the importance of financial performance in attracting investors.

Notable AI startups in France include Mistral AI, Owkin, Aqemia, PhotoRoom, and Dust, showcasing the diversity and innovation within the sector. Dewez also identifies a group of late-stage companies that could be poised for IPOs, including Back Market, Dataiku, Doctolib, Qonto, and Content Square.

While the French tech ecosystem has seen steady growth in exit amounts, the number of exits has decreased slightly year over year. This trend may have implications for the future health of the ecosystem, especially as U.K. funds show a reduced interest in investing in French startups.

Looking Ahead

As the French tech ecosystem continues to evolve, founders and investors alike will need to navigate changing market dynamics and investor preferences. The rise of AI as a key investment area presents both opportunities and challenges for startups seeking funding and growth.

Ultimately, the State of the French Tech Ecosystem report provides a comprehensive overview of the current landscape, offering valuable insights for stakeholders across the industry. With continued innovation and strategic investment, the French tech ecosystem is poised for further growth and success in the years to come.
