4. Culture Policy Support
• Government supports local
ecosystem development (French
Tech, BPI).
• Regions, Cities and Business
open new spaces.
• Supporting existing activities
instead before creating “new”
actions.
• Public actions to promote
Digitalization and put digital in
the Agenda: CNNum and Etalab.
• Support comes from three
main kind of actors: space
providers (coworking,
incubators), investment
companies (VC, Public
Investment) clusters (Cap
Digital) and hybrid models
(NUMA).
• Sharing culture.
• Co-opetition culture.
• Collaboration is no more an
option.

Markets Human capital Finance

Public Bank (BPI).

5. Culture Policy Support
• Risk of turning support
into “control” and risk of
directing innovation.
• How to coordinate
actions ?
• How to support general
interest and business
focused actions ?
• How to leverage global
networks ?
• Risk of using
“innovation” as a
marketing tool.
• Risk of taking innovation
as good by default.
Markets Human capital Finance
• Go beyond “one shot”
events and pilots.
• Go beyond the french
market.
• Do not become
technological centric.
• Risk of taking “digital”
as a technical skill and
not cultural.
• Risk of a “top down”
approach that doesn’t
support emerging
communities and
technologies.
• Early stage funding is
still considered a risk.
• Build success stories
beyond “Exits”.
