A Bastille Day full of energy and transition for French Tech Shanghai!
On July 14, we were proud to take part in the celebration at Villa Basset, supported by the Consul General Joan Valadou 王度, the French Chamber of Commerce, and its director Caroline PENARD, alongside Emmanuel Gros and many others from the broader CCI FRANCE CHINE.

It was a vibrant moment, filled with entrepreneurs, tech companies, and emerging talents — a clear sign that our community is alive, growing, and ready to do more together.

✨ We gladly welcome all those who share this energy to join the French Tech Shanghai movement.

This celebration was also special as it marked the end of the mandate of Latyr Jean-Luc FAYE, our outgoing president. Thank you, Jean-Luc, for your leadership, vision, and dedication to strengthening the bridge between France and China’s innovation landscapes.

We’re now proud to introduce the new COMEX team:

President: Sebastien Codeville
Secretary General & Treasurer: Marie-Catherine Boinay
Vice President: Dalibor Nikolovski
Community Leaders: Zola HONG and Boris Chau
