Capital Days :April 21 & 22, 2026
đ Miami
Innovation without borders âš
ITC was a proud partner of the recently concluded French Tech Capital Days, marking a defining moment in Miami-Dade Countyâs evolution as a global tech and investment hub.
In just five years, French Tech Miami has moved beyond momentum into true acceleration:
đč 340+ attendees
đč20 French startups on the ground to scale in Miami
đčParticipation from leading U.S. venture capital funds
đčA growing track record of $180M+ in fundraising facilitated for French startups
This is not a trend â it is a structural shift. Miami is no longer emerging. Miami-Dade County is establishing itself as a global platform for technology, capital, and scale.
A productive meeting with El Salvadorâs Minister of Economy, H.E. Maria Luisa Hayem, focused on the countryâs economic momentum, opportunities for investment, and strengthening regional ties, including dialogue around broader hemispheric engagement.
The event also highlighted the importance of inclusive innovation. Sudeshna Chatterjee, ITC, joined the Women & Tech panel alongside Corine Busson-Benhammou, Tatiana CalderĂłn, Eglantine Courtiere, Angie Huffington, and Ndeye Birame Sock, contributing to a forward-looking dialogue on leadership, representation, and the future of technology.
Closing the event, Gerard Philippeaux, Executive Director, ITC, reinforced a clear message: Miami is not just a place to enter the market â it is a place to start, scale, and connect globally.
As international interest continues to grow â with increasing inbound demand from companies seeking to establish operations, raise capital, and build partnerships â Miami-Dade County remains committed to strengthening transatlantic and global innovation corridors. Kudos La French Tech Miami!
