French Tech Connect#1 Experiences from VivaTech & French Market

July 4, 2019

French Tech Community Seoul was officially launched last April. For the first networking event, we discussed VivaTech 2019 and the experiences of Korean startups in the French Market.

Last May, for the first time, a Korean pavilion was organized for VivaTech in Paris. VivaTech is the biggest open-innovation & startups event in France. Around 20 startups, alongside several Korean organisations, came to Paris for the first time on this occasion.

How was it? What to take back from it? How did they build their French market approach?

Representatives from accelerators, Public Institutions, and startups delivered their feedback on the French Market and VivaTech.
