A French Tech success

In October 2024, AXA committed, alongside seven other major French groups, to invest €685 million in solutions offered by French Tech start-ups by mid-2026. This initiative aims to support technological innovation in France by working closely with the start-up ecosystem.

In addition, AXA has also invested in tech start-ups, notably through funds dedicated to more mature start-ups, further strengthening its support for innovation within the insurance sector and beyond.

These commitments reflect AXA’s determination to collaborate with French Tech and actively support French start-ups through investments and strategic partnerships.

Julie Huguet, Director, French Tech Mission, said : “The partnership between AXA France and Shares once again illustrates the benefits of collaborations between major groups and French start-ups, which enable the development of innovative new solutions that support the competitiveness and growth of our economy. Congratulations to AXA and Shares on this partnership.”
