French Tech Looks to Robots

May 19, 2017, 12:00 AM

France is aiming to be a leader in robotics and other high-tech businesses. We visit the Innorobo expo in Paris to see the latest robots and talk to the show's director Catherine Simon. Startup founder Pierre Lebeau of Keecker shows us his home entertainment robot due out later this year. And venture capitalist Marie-Hortense Varin of Partech Ventures tells us why French tech companies are worth investing in. Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones, with BBC Online technology correspondent Mark Ward.
