Yesterday, we hosted at Villa Good Tech the luncheon of the French Forces of Industry, gathered around a beautiful table (cared for by Viande & Chef), with men and women who carry this country’s industry on their sleeves, including:
→ Marc Ferracci, former Minister of Industry and Energy
→ Gilles ATTAF, representative of Origine France Garantie
→ Laurent Moisson, co‑founder of the FFI and champion of “Made in France”
→ Natacha Polony, journalist and watchdog on the issues that matter to us
→ Léonidas Kalogeropoulos, CEO of Médiation & Arguments
→ Alexandre Zapolsky CEO of LINAGORA
We came to talk about industry, about sovereignty, about what France still knows how to do, and about what it must absolutely preserve.
And then, naturally and inevitably, digital technology joined the table.
Because how can one discuss French industrial power in 2026 without addressing digital dependence? How can we defend what we manufacture if the tools that operate, connect, and protect our industries are not our own? “There is no industry without technology” (Laurent Moisson). Our colleagues from Qwant, Wimi, Jamespot, and INERSIO, also present, raised this topic with us, and it resonated strongly around the table.
This shared, spontaneous, somewhat urgent awareness gave the day its particular hue. The exchanges were candid, lively, and always constructive.
In that spirit, we officially announce our partnership with the FFI. Thank you to Kadia Sylla Moisson and Béatrice Tetukau for their trust and energy. We look forward to building the next steps together.
France is built by many.
