The playfrance.digital movement was initially created by Alain Garnier (Jamespot), Pascal Gayat (Les Cas d’OR), Raphael Richard (Néodia), Matthieu Hug (Tilkal), Antoine Duboscq (Wimi) and supported by 275 signatories on April 09, 2020. This initiative was joined by Luc Bretones and his IT50+ Club initiative, whose purpose is to commit the leaders of large companies to source at least 50% of their investments in their new projects from European digital players. To date, 600 signatories make up the Collectif playfrance.digital

He is also the founder of GEG tech, a genetic engineering company. He has been active in French tech since the early 2000s, when he founded one of the first mobile internet portal.
