Cap Digital is an initiative for knowledge based and content companies in the Ile de France and it has some good ideas. It “articulates a new industrial vision for the Greater Paris Region, popularly and locally known as Ile-de-France or IDF which ranks as one of Europe’s top two business metropolitan hubs.”
The cap Digital website shows them developing a common brand for ICT companies in the area - that is you can use the CAP Digital signage on your letterhead, you get mentoring in international partnership building and you get shortcuts to funding. It’s also acting as a kind of beacon for EU Framework Programme 7 awareness and funding.
These are the kind of initiatives that need a proper industrial policy at Government level - it gives French companies access to around Euro 2 billion of Government funds. Nice idea all round. And the website is in English. And they are looking for partners. Oh for a few free trips to Paris.
