As a french, I get very strange feeling reading comments here. Germany is presented as an example by French gov for it's better industry (presidential elections are in May ).

Does that means that Germany is not better, or that France is even worse ?

There is a huge difference between the state of the economy in general and the state of the startup scene.

That being said if we compare by economic growth I'd expect Germany and France to lead in Europe at the moment. Speaking as a German I have the impression that the people in France are underestimating there economy somewhat.
