Close ties between French and British Tech have never been more important. While Brexit discussions continue in Brussels and capitals around Europe, links between startup ecosystems in the UK and France grow stronger every day. Last week, French freelancing startup Crème de la Crème raised a €3m Series A funding round with the expressed purpose of expansion in the UK – just another reminder of a mutually beneficial tech relationship between two giants of European tech.

Yesterday, senior figures from both the UK and France were discussing our role in the future of tech and tackling big questions at the France UK Digital Colloque in Paris. We’re delighted that startups are at the table. France Digitale & Coadec have a shared goal of driving startup innovation in Europe and there’s lots to discuss.
