Edito of Trianon Startups Founder

Dear participants, Dear friends,

We are proud to welcome you for the first edition in Russia of the Trianon Startups forum bringing together large Russian Corporate groups and French startups. We hope that your day will be filled with promising meeting and future collaborations.

We designed Trianon Startups on an existing format, the 'working together' forum, which has proven to be successful in facilitating collaborations between startups and large companies. Launched in 2009 in China by Julien Chol, present today, it has taken place in more than twenty cities around the world until today. This format has proven its effectiveness and demonstrates the importance of one-to-one meetings to accelerate synergies and startups growth.

Supporting the international development of startups from our two countries in Russia and France is the full idea of this event.

As a member of the Trianon Dialogue Coordinating Committee, it is a pleasure to gather our Russian and French members to create the event, thus demonstrating the willingness of our two civil societies to help each other. Thanks to the Trianon Dialogue and your enthusiasm for these meetings, our Trianon Startups forum was born at the Palace of Versailles on April 15 and in Moscow on February 3, 2020 in an exceptional place, the Pushkin Museum.

The Trianon Startups team and I sincerely thank La French Tech and our Russian friends from the Dialogue de Trianon without whom this event would not have taken place. We would also like to thank our partners ADV Group, Air France and Mazars for their support in organizing this day.

I wish you all excellent meetings which, I hope, will lead to future business projects and strong partnerships between companies in our countries.
