SaaS made in France

In short

France has a strong sovereign-tech base: OVHcloud, Scaleway and Clever Cloud in cloud infrastructure; Mistral AI and LightOn in sovereign AI; Universign and Yousign in e-signature; Tixeo and Olvid in secure video; and Mailo in private email. These are all companies headquartered in France, but origin is only one signal — ownership, hosting region and CLOUD Act exposure are recorded separately on each listing, and several French providers also carry SecNumCloud qualification worth checking per listing.

The products on this page are SaaS companies headquartered or incorporated in France. That origin matters for buyers who weigh French jurisdiction, SecNumCloud requirements, or a preference for French-owned vendors — but on EU Vetted, origin is deliberately kept separate from two other signals you should evaluate alongside it: where the service actually hosts data, and its exposure to the US CLOUD Act. A French company that routes data through a US service can re-introduce exposure, so we record ownership, hosting region and CLOUD Act exposure as distinct fields on every listing. OVHcloud, for instance, is French-owned and hosts in France (CLOUD Act exposure: None). France is especially deep in cloud infrastructure, sovereign AI, e-signature, secure video conferencing and payments — making it one of the broadest national selections in the directory.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Are French SaaS companies automatically hosted in France?
No — company origin and hosting region are independent signals, which is why we record them separately. Many French vendors host domestically: OVHcloud hosts in France, for example. But a French-headquartered company can still place data with a non-French or US sub-processor, so check the hosting region and sub-processor list on each listing rather than inferring it from the company's location.
What is SecNumCloud and which French providers have it?
SecNumCloud is the French ANSSI qualification for trusted cloud services, with strict requirements on sovereignty and immunity from non-EU law. It is the most demanding sovereign-cloud credential in the French market. Several providers listed here pursue or hold it for specific offerings; because scope can be product-specific, confirm the exact qualified service on each provider's listing and our SecNumCloud hub.
Does a French company mean no US CLOUD Act exposure?
Not by itself. CLOUD Act reach follows corporate control and the sub-processor chain, not just where the head office sits. A French-incorporated, French-controlled vendor with no US services in the data path has a structurally weaker exposure profile — OVHcloud is recorded as CLOUD Act exposure: None, hosting in France from €5/month — whereas a French firm with US ownership or a US service in the path can remain exposed. Each listing shows the CLOUD Act exposure we assessed.
