From high-speed train to luxury goods, France has a long-standing reputation for creativity and innovation. In the past 2 years, France has sent out the largest delegations to world tech events such as CES Las Vegas and Mobile World Congress. Companies such as Blablacar, Sigfox, Scality or Vente-Privée were notable unicorns that received international attentions. During solely these past two months in 2016, 97 French startups have concluded investment deals, the largest number in Europe so far this year.  

       從高速鐵路到奢侈品產業，法國的創意展現及創新能量皆久負盛名。過去兩年內，法國本土公司派赴參加全球相關科技的展會的代表廠商，如拉斯維加斯消費電子展(CES)及世界行動通訊大會(MWC)等，都是最具規模及突破性技術的代表團。法商Blablacar、Sigfox、Scality及VENTE-PRIVEE都是受到國際關注的「獨角獸」公司。2016年才過兩個月，已有97間法國新創公司簽訂投資協議，成為今年歐洲目前的最多數。

The French Office in Taipei and its commercial section Business France are proud to present for the first time on the Taiwan market La French Tech Pavillon, 54 sqm of French technologies bringing mature know-how in fields such as smart-grid & smart metering, electrical mobility, LoRa IoT network infrastructure, embedded software & system engineering for IoT hardware, the known French telco giant Orange Group showcasing the five Taiwan startups supported by its Acceleration Program Orange Fab Asia, and the Region of Grenoble exhibiting as the Silicon Valley of France as one of the most attractive destinations for R&D activities in Europe.

       法國在台協會和其商務處Business France很榮幸第一次在台彎設立「法國科技館」，向台灣展現法國成熟的科技，領域包含智慧電網、智慧電錶、電動運輸、物聯網的LoRa無線網路技術、物聯網硬體需要的嵌入式軟體及系統工程，法國電信巨擘Orange也帶來其新創加速器計劃(Orange Fab Asia)所支持的五家台灣新創公司。此外，身為歐洲最具吸引力的研發聚落、有法國矽谷美譽的格勒諾布爾(Grenoble)大區也有參展。

The highlight of this French Tech Pavilion is the presentation by Gaius Auto, winner of the French Tech Ticket Program in 2015 as the only Taiwan startup honored to meet French President François Hollande in Paris on March 3^rd 2016, of an Electrical Car-Sharing Program combining French automobile and Taiwan EV-Charging technologies, backed by a consortium of prominent Taiwan groups.

       本次法國科技館的壓軸展商蓋亞汽車，去年參加“法國科技之門獎”榮獲赴巴黎創業的獎金補助及6個月的免租金育成支持，在本月3日與其他國際得獎團隊受邀赴巴黎艾麗榭宮總統府，與法國總統法蘭索瓦‧歐蘭德先生會面。蓋亞汽車結合法國電動車技術及臺灣充電樁技術，並開發城市電動車共享計劃，相信能成為為台灣城市電動車技術發展之一大助力。
