LIVE From MIF Expo - The Made in France Trade Show Opens in Paris Today!
When we think of "Made in France", we think of textiles, gastronomy, or crafts. Rarely software. Yet that’s exactly what brought us here.
At our stand A69, questions have been flying since this morning: What does "French-made software" even mean?
The answer: developed in France, hosted in France, French-owned, and open source. And yes, it exists, and it works!
Meanwhile, our president Alexandre Zapolsky has been busy: an interview for RFI - Radio France Internationale, followed by a TV appearance on the Origine France Garantie set alongside Anthony Vitorino-Garcia.
The focus? The Numérique France Garanti label, of which we’re proud pioneers, a rigorous framework, independently audited, that finally distinguishes true French software from "sovereignty washing." Also on the agenda: open source, sovereignty, and this conviction: French software has nothing to envy the rest of the world. As Alexandre puts it: "Our clicks are our jobs." That’s also why the French Digital Forces (ffnum.fr) were created.
Because, in the end, choosing software is like choosing what you put on your plate or wear on your back: it has an origin, and that origin has consequences. Jobs, value, independence, here or elsewhere!
The trade show runs until Sunday. If you’re at Porte de Versailles, stop by booth A69: everything starts with meeting you.
