Launch of the “Équipe de France du Numérique” (Digital French Team): uniting the strengths of the digital industry to have a greater impact, act more effectively, and meet the major challenges of our time.

The organization of digital professionals and employers’ association announces the launch of the French Digital Team. An initiative designed to federate the ecosystem.

Over 650 people attended the launch of the French Digital Team at the Molitor swimming pool.

A clear ambition: to unite the strengths of the digital industry, so as to have greater influence, act more effectively, and respond to the major challenges of our time. Our rich and diverse ecosystem is brimming with initiatives, talent and innovation in every region. But it remains fragmented, sometimes unclear, and lacks the ability to speak with a single voice.

A unique collective to structure the French digital ecosystem

This observation led to the creation of the French Digital Team. This unprecedented collective brings together major players in the sector, determined to structure the collective game to meet ecological, economic, social and societal challenges. It’s neither a new structure nor an imposed model. It is a collective dynamic designed to coordinate efforts and amplify existing initiatives.

To date, over 70 organizations* have already joined the initiative. They come from all walks of life: national and regional networks, clusters, communities, public players, major federations and trade associations. They all share a common goal: to strengthen their collective impact by synergizing their actions.

The launch of the French Digital Team set the tone: a dynamic presentation, launched by Véronique Torner, President of Numeum, and led by Alexia Kefalas and Nelson Monfort, in a lively “TV set” atmosphere, symbolizing the strength of this initiative. The logo, unveiled by Bruno Marie-Rose, Olympian and Director of Technology for Paris 2024, marked the official launch of the collective.

Concrete objectives to amplify the impact of digital technology

The collective has three main objectives: to raise the profile of the French digital ecosystem, to coordinate efforts to raise awareness of the issues affecting our businesses and territories, and to amplify initiatives to bring them to scale.

Collective initiatives already in action to meet major challenges

Each member of the ecosystem can act and evolve within collective action initiatives. These include Numeric’Emploi on employment, Ethical AI on ethical artificial intelligence, Je Choisis la French Tech, Planet Tech’Care for responsible digital, Cyber4Tomorrow and the Semaine du Numérique et des Sciences informatiques.

L’Équipe de France du Numérique is first and foremost a unifying project, an open collective at the service of the ecosystem. L’Équipe de France du Numérique brings together professional associations, trade unions, think tanks and digital organizations. The aim is to respond to the sector’s major challenges. It’s a question of responding together to the urgency of competitiveness, sustainable transition, inclusion and technological autonomy. One objective: to change scale and make the French digital sector a key player on the international scene.
