Definitions:

• "French": this map includes companies with headquarters in France (the majority), foreign companies with French founders who also have a substantial workforce in France.
• "Open-Source": I tried not to be dogmatic with my definition of open-source, so I included both commercial open-source companies (i.e. companies selling value on top of open-source projects), commercial companies contributing substantially to one or several open-source repositories, and open-weights AI companies.
• "Startups": I increased my initial scope and included 10+ years old small businesses and large companies. I did not include, though, service companies.
