Wheere CEO deciphers FrenchTech's ambitions in an exclusive op-ed for Forbes
Three years after Bruno Le Maire's declaration at VivaTech that ten new French unicorns would emerge by 2030, where do we really stand? In an article published on Forbes, Pierre-Arnaud Coquelin, CEO of Wheere, takes stock of the FrenchTech ecosystem and offers his analysis of the challenges and opportunities ahead for French startups.
Does France have the means to realize its vision?
In this article published on Forbes, Pierre-Arnaud Coquelin, co-founder and CEO of Wheere, looks at the obstacles preventing France from developing decacorns. Financing, access to talent, product-market fit... Are these challenges, which are often singled out, really the main obstacles? Or should we look elsewhere for the real levers of growth? An enlightened look at FrenchTech 's ambitions and the avenues to be explored to take it to the next level.
In 2022, at Vivatech, Bruno Le Maire expressed a strong ambition: "I want us to have 10 French decacorns by 2030, 5 by 2025". Here we are in 2025, and yet this figure remains stuck at zero. The question is: does France have the means to achieve this vision, or has it reached its glass ceiling?
What if the solution lay elsewhere?
What if the key to the emergence of decacorns in France wasn't where we expected it to be?
Rather than copying American models, should FrenchTech capitalize on its own strengths and explore as yet untapped markets? In his article for Forbes, Pierre-Arnaud Coquelin invites us to rethink our approach, with a view to challenging conventional wisdom.
