Île-de-France Region highlighted in the USA : PRIME, French Tech Hub and Open Innovation Club help French companies enter the American market
On October 6 we headed up to Third Street for a visit of the French Tech Hub and PRIME office in San Francisco.
Both companies were represented by one of their members: Olivier Allegret, the PRIME Business Development Director and Marie Frochen, the French Tech Hub senior Atrategic Account Manager. Maroane Abdallaoui, the Open Innovation Manager also introduced us to the Open Innovation Club, one of the departments created by PRIME.
These three bodies share the same mission : connecting French and American enterprises. They create events where big companies and start up can meet and share ideas. Their goal is to support collaboration between companies and stimulate exchanges and innovation.
For us, it was really interesting to discover such organizations that try to support collaboration between companies and between countries and also to understand its importance nowadays.
