“Simplifying the daily lives of all French people by relying on the power of digital technology” : this is the credo of the Interministerial Digital Directorate (Dinum). Through its digital services incubator beta.gouv.frit develops digital services in line with the State's digital strategy.
Six months after announcing the ten winners of the 13e edition of its state start-up acceleration fund, Dinum revealed, Monday February 26, the names of eight other “state start-ups”, which will receive financial support, up to 50% of the project budget over the year, without going beyond 300,000 euros. They will also benefit from a “operational and strategic support”. The people involved in these “state start-ups” are not entrepreneurs, but defined here as “intrapreneurs”, i.e. public agents who carry out missions falling between the professions of product manager and IS project director. .
