Innovation ecosystem

This not-to-be-missed event is also an opportunity for all Docaposte employees to get involved in the event, and even, for developers, to train and compete as a team in the live code competition and compete for the prize of Best Dev in France!

A highlight of the French digital landscape, Master Dev France (formerly Best Developer in France) is organized by Docaposte. This annual event brings together the whole of France's digital ecosystem: major companies, ESNs, start-ups, developers, engineers, digital schools, and more. 

MDF is a trade show, exciting conferences, entertainment and the biggest live code competition in France all rolled into one!

MDF encourages technological innovation and underlines the importance of an open-minded spirit to ensure that a French digital trust industry shines.

We share a strong commitment with the Inria Foundation: to promote responsible digital transformation. Backed by the Inria Research Institute, the Foundation's ambition is to foster and support research and innovation projects that have a positive impact on people, society and the planet.

In collaboration with Inria's research teams, we are creating today the technological fundamentals of tomorrow in the major fields of IT. From the decentralization of algorithms for Machine Learning independent of data location, to homomorphic encryption enabling data mining without information disclosure, to the design of formal proof of security or the robustness of electronic voting, we are exploring in depth the key concepts of our customers' future technological foundations. 

With the Inria Foundation, Docaposte is also strengthening its capacity for innovation in the fields of digital trust, artificial intelligence and e-health.

Launched in 2015, the accelerator program French IoT, Impact x Technologie is one of La Poste Group's flagship open innovation programs. 

Operated by Docaposte since its launch, the program supports around fifteen start-ups specializing in impactful digital services each year. It aims to accelerate their development and help them become robust partners of the La Poste group ecosystem. 

Moreover, French IoT leverages a complete ecosystem of partners made up of major groups, key digital innovation and Social and Solidarity Economy players in our territories (over 100 partners in the regions) and nationally, in addition to a large pool of start-ups invested in strategic areas for La Poste Group and Docaposte. 

Did you know? As of 2023, 80 start-ups have joined the French IoT community!

Through its Corporate Venture Capital (CVC), a private equity fund investing in start-ups (in partnership with XAnge), La Poste Group has a new financing tool aimed at identifying and creating value-added services for customers.

It aims to invest, in seed and series A, in start-ups that develop innovative services at the heart of customer concerns and that have a positive impact on society. This partnership enables us to keep abreast of innovation trends in the short and mid term.

Docaposte is actively involved in the investment decisions of the La Poste CVC, fostering a win-win relationship.
