Yuka, Weward, Aspivix: 15th Faea Winners
French American Entrepreneurship Award, FAEA, startups, French entrepreneurs
The French American Entrepreneurship Award (FAEA) has just finished its 15th year by honoring three outstanding early-stage startups led by French entrepreneurs in the US. Since its start in 2008, the FAEA has been committed to helping these businesses innovate and grow, aiding in their success in the American market.
The 2024 award selection process involved a thorough evaluation by a jury made up of a Panel of Experts and FAEA Committee members. The evaluation criteria focused on the uniqueness, feasibility, and potential for growth of each business model.
The FAEA Committee included French entrepreneurs and executives from Club600, the nonprofit organization behind the FAEA: Sylvain Ardiet, Guillaume Bouvard, Anne Busquet, Raphaël Camp, Yves Coléon, Eric Draghi, and David Horvilleur.
The awards ceremony took place on June 4th, 2024, at the Consulate General of France in New York, with Deputy Consul General Damien Laban in attendance and support from France's Delegate Minister for Foreign Trade, Franck Riester. The event was also live-streamed for a broader audience.
Winning entrepreneurs from the FAEA receive valuable prizes, access to a network of influential contacts, and significant media coverage, providing a strong boost to their ventures. More information on the prizes can be found on the FAEA website.
The FAEA is a joint effort from Team France in New York, expressing deep appreciation to the Experts Panel and the generous sponsors who make this initiative possible each year.
