William shared his inspiring journey of designing and manufacturing exceptional timepieces, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the challenges and triumphs of entrepreneurship in China.

China is more than the World's factory. It is a vibrant, creative and thriving place to be for cutting edge, fast paced #innovation. It was on full display this past weekend in Shanghai at S-Tron China (S创中国), formerly Slush Shanghai, the largest international startup fair I’ve attended in #Shanghai to date. La French Tech Shanghai was well represented with 3 of startups as exhibitors: Zeal 8-bits, Ekohe and many more members as visitors or investors. I had the privilege to join a panel alongside Sally Yan, Dennis Schmid, and Philippe Roesle (何辉) to discuss the differences and similarities between China’s and Europe’s #startup ecosystems. It is not difficult to find reasons why China is not the first choice for French/European startups willing to to development internationally. And yet, China offers unique growth opportunities. However, success requires significant upfront investment starting by understanding the local market, navigating regulatory frameworks, building networks, and identifying their sector’s relevance in China. For all these aspects and many more La French Tech Shanghai provides support and/or solutions along with every entity from #TeamFrance: France General Consulate in Shanghai, Business France, France-China Chamber of Commerce, and the French Foreign Trade Advisors.

🌟 Reflecting on an Inspiring S-Tron 2024 by S-Tron China (S创中国): A Hub of Innovation!🚀 I had the pleasure of attending the S-Tron Shanghai 2024 event, and I’m truly impressed by the level of innovation and collaboration on display. The event was a convergence of brilliant ideas, dynamic startups, and forward-thinking leaders. The panel discussions, fireside chats, and keynotes addressed not only the future of AI or innovation but also specific topics on leadership, sustainability, health, emerging markets …   A highlight for me was the Global Startup Pitch Competition, where groundbreaking startups took the stage to present their transformative ideas. It was a high-level competition with game-changing innovation. Thanks to La French Tech Shanghai, I had the opportunity to discuss sustainability in emerging markets with some Green Tech professionals. They provided great insights!   The event was about inspiration and impact, embodied by the "dare to disrupt." Creating my path to dare on sustainability and green mobile energy. To be continued soon …   Looking forward to seeing what’s next at S-Tron 2025! 💡 #Innovation #Frenchtech #Tech #Startups #GreenTech #STron2024  

Huge thanks to all the attendees to the event. You made it memorable. Thanks for the positive feedbacks, we will do our best to deliver.

La French Tech accompagne les start-up partout dans le monde 🌍 La Mission French Tech s’appuie sur un réseau unique de Capitales et Communautés, présentes partout en France mais aussi dans 52 pays à travers le monde ! Véritables portes d’entrée pour les start-up françaises, elles fédèrent les acteurs de l’innovation sur leur territoire et les mobilisent sur des initiatives communes. On compte aujourd’hui 67 Communautés à l’international qui œuvrent au quotidien. A l’occasion de The Next Web, Clara Chappaz, Directrice de la Mission French Tech, a pu rencontrer la French Tech Amsterdam et participé à une table ronde autour du thème « Cultivating champions : the role of ecosystems in driving sustanaible growth » aux côtés de Margot Roose💚, Andrii Degeler, Pedro Lopes et Janette Wiget. L’occasion de rappeler le rôle essentiel de notre réseau qui accompagne nos start-up à l’international. Dans la promotion 2024 du programme French Tech Next40/120, c’est 88% des start-up qui sont présentes à l’international. Les enjeux sont grands ! Au total, ce sont 16 start-up du programme qui sont présentes aux Pays-Bas dont Pasqal et Exotec par exemple et que la French Tech Amsterdam soutient aux côtés de Business France, du service économique de l'ambassade de France aux Pays-Bas et la Chambre de Commerce Franco-Néerlandaise. La French Tech Amsterdam joue un rôle fédérateur pour ce réseau à l’échelle européenne et est très investie dans la promotion de l’excellence technologique française, notamment sur la #DeepTech. Ses actions aident activement au déploiement de nos start-up dans ce domaine en favorisant leur intégration à l’écosystème local. Merci encore à notre formidable réseau !
