Key figures of the generative AI market  

In its third edition, the radar of French generative AI startups highlights major trends, key market figures, and a category map to explore in detail the solutions offered by some of these startups.

With 71% of these companies having fewer than 20 employees, they favor agile structures and effectively leverage technology to optimize productivity. A revenue of less than 500,000 euros for 66% of them is characteristic of the early years, where the focus is on product development rather than immediate profitability, aiming for future growth.
