(1888PressRelease) February 03, 2015 - There will be 120 SMEs and start-ups on the French Tech pavilion - the largest national pavilion at MWC 2015.

The French Tech pavilion will enable several partner regions, such as Brittany, Ile-de-France, Languedoc Roussillon, Midi-Pyrénées and Provence-Alpes-Côte-d'Azur to be represented at the trade show. Additionally, high-technology clusters will have stands of their own on the French Tech pavilion, with Systematic Paris Region and Solutions Communicantes Sécurisées (Secure Communicating Solutions), the latter being based in Provence (south-eastern France).

With a surface area of 560m², the French Tech pavilion will be the largest national pavilion at the trade show. It will comprise three booths in Hall 5 (5 B41, 5 B61 and 5 B71) and two booths in Hall 8.1 (8.1 D41 and 8.1 E49), known as the APP PLANET. The 120 companies hosted by the French Tech pavilion are specialists in a range of areas within the telecommunications industry, such as mobile apps, the telecoms infrastructure, mobile advertising, mobile marketing, telephone-based games, accessories, engineering services, and financial services.

The offices of Business France in Brazil, China, India, Israel, Russia, Singapore, South Korea, Spain and the UK have helped organise the French Tech pavilion by setting up B-to-B meetings between French exhibitor companies and representatives of leading international groups such as LG, Samsung, Huawei, Telefonica and Vodafone Spain.

Mrs Axelle Lemaire, France's Minister of State for the Digital Industry, will visit Mobile World Congress 2015 in order to help promote French excellence in the field of technological innovation at MWC. Many innovations will be showcased during the trade fair: below is a snapshot, with four companies that will exhibit on the French Tech pavilion at the trade show.

Using sound waves as a means of exchanging consumers' secure data, this system has the ability to transform any telephone, whether a less advanced model (such as the Nokia 3310) or the very latest iPhone, into a contactless payment device.

FAMOCO, a Near Field Communication (NFC) specialist, develops high-tech information systems in many areas where identification and access control are required (e-governance, contactless payments, mobile point-of-sale technology, etc.). At MWC, FAMOCO will present its unique solution for next-generation, secure and connected NFC readers that combines smartphone technology with the security requirements of the bank-card sector.

OLEDCOMM, a Light Fidelity (LiFi) solutions operator, will showcase its new optical wireless-communications technology, which uses LED lighting to transmit digital data. LiFi has opened up a new era for wireless-data transmission because it generates no electromagnetic pollution, does not saturate bandwidth, and is much cheaper to deploy than WiFi-based systems. This technology will allow the densest very-high-speed internet network in the world to be rolled out, turning the 14 billion light spots worldwide into LiFi spots.

PRADEO has developed Trust Revealing, a behaviour-analysis engine for applications. With this technology, which lies at the core of its range of products and services, Pradeo can offer its customers enhanced security for their applications and better protection from attacks by cyber-criminals (which can be carried out using micro-apps available in high-street stores).
