Global Tech Coté is a "fund of funds" — Banque des Territoires (the Caisse des Dépôts arm that manages territorial/state-mandate investments) does not buy listed-company equity directly. It capitalises third-party asset managers who run funds investing in publicly-traded French/European tech companies, taking a minority position (majority must stay private-investor funded) to avoid crowding out private capital while still deploying state money at scale. This is the listed-equity counterpart to France 2030's better-known venture/private-equity vehicles (French Tech Seed, French Tech Souveraineté, etc.), extending the same reindustrialisation logic to public markets where French tech names have historically traded at a valuation discount versus US peers.
Severity is set low (2/5, quant) because this is a financing facility, not a market-access restriction, tariff, or export control — its trade-distorting effect (GTA flags it "Red"/harmful, as a subsidy-adjacent state-aid instrument) is real but indirect, operating through capital allocation rather than border measures.

crowd in additional private capital into French-listed tech, semis, and biotech names — modest positive signal for EWQ-exposed growth names.
