    "excerpt": "Date: Share: French deeptech startups raised 4.1 billion euros in 2025, returning to their 2023 level after a dip in 2024, driven by AI and technological sovereignty. The figures were released mid-March. 4.1 billion euros: this is what deeptech startups in France attracted in 2025, according to Bpifrance's annual report. An amount that represents about half of what the entire French Tech raised over the same period. The sector thus erases the drop of 2024 (2.8 billion) and returns to the high level of 2023. Behind these amounts, a dynamic driven by artificial intelligence and technologies deemed strategic. Cybersecurity, space, defense, semiconductors, cloud, quantum: 72% of the funds raised concern sectors where sovereignty has become an argument. Investors are sensitive to this. Mistral AI alone embodies this shift: the Parisian gem completed a 1.7 billion euro fundraising round in 2025, single-handedly explaining the resilience of the French market. The number of creations follows. 410 deeptech startups were created in 2025, compared to 207 in 2019, the year the Deeptech plan was launched. The ecosystem is growing: 2,830 active deeptech startups generate 5.4 billion euros in revenue and 50,000 direct jobs. Bpifrance reminds that Paris is now \"the 3rd global deeptech ecosystem in terms of amounts raised\". France ranks second in Europe, behind the United Kingdom [3].Tavignanu...",
