Part of the Directorate General for Enterprise (DGE), which itselfreports to the Ministry for the Economy and Finance, The French Digital Agency is a “department with national scope”, an administrative category that, due to its specific tasks and unique organisation, differs from traditional, centralised departments. Created in 2015, the Agency’s initiatives are based on three main, complementary lines, including some that are already part of well-established public policies : • The French Very High-Speed Broadband Plan seeks to ensure that the entire country is covered by cutting-edge digital infrastructure, the digital transition’s backbone. Specifically, the Plan calls for bringing very high-speed broadband service to every home, business and government office in France by 2022, • The French Tech Initiative aims at fostering the growth of French start-ups and support them into becoming international champions, • The Digital Society Programme supports projects to make digital culture more widespread, allowing citizens to seize the opportunities brought about by the digital transformation.
