With French Tech, Gemalto is boosting start-up growth in the contactless sector

Gemalto, the leader in digital security, has fully committed itself to taking part in two key projects launched recently by the French government in its promotion of contactless technology use: the “Services Sans Contact” (Contactless Services) Industrial Plan and “French Tech”. Aix-Marseille’s official application to become a French Tech city, submitted on September 23, 2014, featured nine digital “accelerators”, including the Gemalto NFC Factory, the objective of which is to help nurture high-value start-ups, giving them an international scope, and to capitalize on the wealth of our regional ecosystem.
