Welcome to the Village

Welcome to the Village!





January 7-10 2020, the 'Village francophone' is celebrating its first international edition: 'myglobalVillage'.

As a French / American entrepreneur, based in NYC, co-Founder of the Business Accelerator 'Wave Group' , I have always found the CES to be a fascinating resource, yet, each time I felt overwhelmed and often left unsatisfied wih my business outcomes.

Last year, I had the chance to visit the Village-Francophone and meet its Founder, Marc Lionel Gatto. It finally clicked.

French speaking territories, regions, investors, key decision makers and startups, come together to do business differently. All sharing a vision, knowledge, connexions, encouraging each participant to take an active role and become a co-creator of its own business success, and the Village's as a result. It was clear to me that we had to expand this unique augmented experience beyond the French speaking ecosystem and invite the world to join the Village, its values and its ambitions.

Our goal is to activate vendors, buyers, investors across all industries and countries, all in one place, at strategic industry events. We create the necessary conditions for Regions, States, Companies, Startups to meet/think/collaborate, hence to achieve better results faster.

This year we are excited to welcome representatives from 11 countries and 40 territories. This is just a first step, but an essential one, to create bridges between countries and with people who believe it is only time to join the "deep tech for good”!

Are you ready to be part of this fantastic journey ?

I look forward to meeting you all in Las Vegas ?
