According to reports from Public Television journalist Chen Wenzhen, the renowned global innovation and technology fair VivaTech is being held in France, showcasing many startups eager to display their latest technologies and expressing strong interest in collaborating with Taiwan.

Since launching the La French Tech initiative in 2013, France has combined government and private sector efforts to create a vibrant startup ecosystem, giving rise to over 25,000 startups and generating approximately 1.1 million jobs over the past decade.

Maud Vinet, CEO of French startup Quobly, stated, "We use silicon chips that provide quantum bits known for their fast speed, small size, and high quality, enabling us to tackle the challenges faced by current quantum computer prototypes regarding cost, size, and performance." Quobly is leveraging existing semiconductor processing technologies, actively collaborating with Taiwan's industry and academia to develop industrially viable quantum computing solutions.

Additionally, Alexis Jonville, CEO of another French startup Lumisync, explained, "We have obtained the world's first patent for a 100% photonic oscillator. This oscillator acts like a conductor in an orchestra, synchronizing information between different components in a network, entirely through laser light, making it a thousand times faster than the best electronic oscillators on the market and a thousand times more energy-efficient." Their patent significantly enhances data transmission efficiency while reducing energy consumption.

They are also keen on partnering with Taiwan's power chip manufacturer Powerchip and the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) to deepen their business and R&D presence in the country. Jonville mentioned, "As a small startup, we currently produce our technology in-house with a limited monthly output, but we understand that to scale up and achieve mass production in the future, Taiwan is an indispensable location."

As the French startup scene continues to grow, Taiwan has become a crucial partner, not only in semiconductor processing and scientific research collaboration but also serving as a strategic hub for many French startups venturing into Asia.
