DIGIWORLD AWARDS 2017

The IDATE is one of the first study and council centres in Europe specialised in the analysis of the Telecom, Web and Media industries.

For the 39th DigiWorld Summit, the IDATE, in collaboration with Business France and the French Tech, organises for the third time the DigiWorld Awards to reward digital start-ups created by French citizens abroad in four categories: Africa & Middle East – Americas – Asia – Europe.

This is the perfect opportunity to identify many entrepreneurs that have created their start-ups all over the world and to reward those that are successful and before they may come to France in the future!
