French Pavilion at the heart of Internet World 2012

The French Pavilion (Stand E1090, at Earl's Court 2, in Central London) will offer a unique environment in which company representatives can discover new products and find potential clients and business partners. For the fourth year in a row, the French Trade Commission in London organises the French national pavilion at the trade fair, between 24 and 26 April of this year.

The four exhibiting companies will showcase a range of innovative products from the internet and digital-technology sectors. These companies are aiming to reinforce their professional contacts and explore new business opportunities between France and the UK.

Internet World, now in its 20th year, is the trade show of reference in the UK (and across Europe) for online business, from digital and mobile marketing to connectivity and hosting, and from e-commerce and m-commerce to social media and content management.

Companies on the French stand are listed below; further information about the exhibitors is available on request.
