Who knew, for example, that five of the top twelve connected objects sold via the Apple Store in the United States were French? Who knew that French web companies generated an average 39% of their turnover in international markets, as opposed to 3% for other SMEs? French Tech set out to show the world France was changing and had changed: it does so through accredited French Tech ecosystems. Select cities are \u201cFrench Tech\u201d labeled once they prove up the vitality of a fully-functioning ecosystem to support startup activity. (Austin\u2019s sister city Angers is labeled French Tech for INTERNET OF THINGS, for example, thanks to their \u201cIoT City\u201d inaugurated in 2013.) A network of French Tech communities around the world support the French Tech mission by educating about the talent pool in France and the success of French entrepreneurs around the world. \u201cFrench Tech Austin\u201d is one example. This panel will discuss how France has changed, how the French digital ecosystem supports and promotes startup talent, and how French Tech Austin connects and supports French entrepreneurs.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | 9:30 \u2013 10:30<\/td> | Cultural Mastery: Predicting and Preventing Culture-Based Problems<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | <\/td> | In this interactive session, you will learn how to apply the experience of a seasoned cross-cultural businessperson to your unique collaborations.
