In episode 21, we’re talking about the French Tech Mission - a government-backed initiative to attract young businesses to France and encourage investment. Technically, it’s a department of the French government, but practically it’s operating right in the middle of one of the world’s biggest startup campuses in the heart of Paris: Station F. The initiative also has local offices in other French cities - right in the middle of the local startup communities. They call themselves a new type of civil servants that can help startups bridge the gap between policy and the practical aspects of starting a business in France.If you want to keep practicing the words you've learned in this lesson, sign up to get access to the free transcript that goes with this episode.https://smartstartupenglish.com/Our goal is to help startup professionals take their English from intermediate to advanced in under 10 minutes a day.
