Business France to open applications for its Impact USA accelerator

Business France, a French Government agency promoting businesses from France to the international community, is opening its applications for its accelerator Impact USA. Applications close on July 15th.

Impact USA accelerates the launch and growth of French companies in the United States and Canada. The organization operates out of New York, Toronto, Montreal, and San Francisco and is supported by a group of entrepreneurs, corporates, and experts.

For international companies launching in North America, many are inefficient in their approach to a go-to-market strategy, including becoming familiar with a new ecosystem. The organization’s Impact USA accelerator aims to help French startups more effectively scale in North America.

According to CB Insights, the accelerator is “The most active French acceleration program in the US”.
