‘re free software entrepreneurs now have their Banquiz to take off. The Banquiz – that’s his name – was inaugurated last week in Pessac, a suburb of Bordeaux, Alain Rousset, President of Aquitaine Region, and François Pellegrini, President Aquinetic, an association that accompanies project leaders in the field of open source technologies.
This structure is dedicated to supporting young shoots of the economy of free software. Remember that free software can be used, modified and redistributed freely and without restriction by users. Linux is the best-known software. This is the first start-up accelerator software and free technologies in France.
Specifically, an accompanying program of six months is proposed. Six months to go from geek to the entrepreneur, from idea to product. Three “penguins” have already built the structure. There will be two classes per year. Each promoter is individually and collectively, accompanied by an expert.
It is estimated that the economy of free software generates 4 billion euros in revenue per year in France and count 30,000 jobs . Open source should represent, by 2015, 10% of the global software market in France.
