13 million French people are still excluded from the digital sphere
From this observation, 13M was born, the first accelerator for digital inclusion on a national scale, initiated by the Banque des Territoires, operated by Groupe SOS in partnership with H7.
13M combines the expertise of the Banque des Territoires as an investor in digital inclusion, overseeing and financing the initiative, the know-how of Groupe SOS, a major player in the social and solidarity economy, operating and deploying it, and the experience of H7, a responsible accelerator that supports the projects.
