We are proud to announce that French Tech Berlin is a winner of the French Tech Community Fund 2024-2025! Thanks to this support from the Mission French Tech, we will strengthen our impact on the influence of the #FrenchTech ecosystem internationally. The French Tech Community Fund takes the form of financial support and enables us to deploy strategic initiatives in line with the Mission French Tech's international priorities.

Through this large-scale international event, we are looking forward to keeping on: 👉 Shedding light on France's attractiveness abroad and promoting French start-ups abroad with initiatives to attract international talents, investors and partners to the French Tech ecosystem while highlighting French success stories and innovations. 👉 Promoting and supporting the ecosystem of the French Deeptech startup ecosystems, especially in AI.

Thank you Leapsome for welcoming the French Tech Berlin community yesterday morning in your beautiful office space in Mitte! About 70 members of the community came together for a great piece of networking, coffee and croissant! Thank you Irene Ploix, Kajetan von Armansperg and the Leapsome team! We can't wait for the next community breakfast of July, this time in partnership with Alstom... stay tuned 👀

🌱 When French Tech Berlin teams up with N26 to talk corporate sustainability and impact investing, you get: 8 amazing speakers; 25+ (+/- sarcastic) jokes from me on stage; 100+ attendees from the tech, impact and sustainability industries in Berlin; And a countless number of insights and anecdotes about how to make the tech industry just a bit more impactful for tomorrow. A few of those nuggets in a nutshell: 1️⃣ There are plenty of ways to generate revenue and growth without inducing more waste. By relying on innovation and exploring new out of the box business models, we have seen an upsurge of new, impact driven companies focusing on making the world a better place as much as being profitable. 2️⃣ Focusing on KPIs and the measurement of impact is key to avoid greenwashing... it's also one of the greatest challenges faced by companies and investors: striking a balance and finding the "right" measurement for impact is not easy, but definitely possible. 3️⃣ Impact investing is no charity work: it just encompasses another dimension, impact, in the investment decision. Think of it this way: potential revenue, growth and returns are measured on the x axis, while impact (social and environmental) on the y axis. Everything in the second quadrant (high potential revenue, growth and returns + high impact) is where impact VCs see their sweet spot. Thank you to my partners at N26, Caroline J. and Foster Glenn for working with me the past 3 months to bring this initiative to life. Thank you Jessica Fernsler, Marine Ruiz, Lucie Dufour and Nicole Flamarique for taking time out of your busy schedule to volunteer and make this event a great success. Thank you Lubomila Jordanova, Wolfgang Hennen, Marcus W. Mauermann, Mascha Bonk, Maciej Gałkiewicz, Manal Belaouane and Isabelle Canu for your amazing insights - we couldn't have dreamt of a better line up for this event! And obviously, thank you to all that came and networked, made this evening not only informative but fun and full of nice encounters. Until next time!
