Tweet translated from French by Google Translate:<p><pre><code> Following the POC of (new) Qwant and your feedback, with Miro, my brother, and the Caisse des Dépôts, we decided to finalize the creation of Synfonium which will now buy 100% of Qwant and 100% fe Shadow. Synfonium is 75% owned by Jezby Venture &amp; Deep Code and 25% by CDC. The closing will take place this summer. At the start of the school year, we will come back to the strategic details of what we are going to build for you, but also how we want to integrate the entire EU tech ecosystem into the adventure. You will find the search engine, free services, the collaborative suite, the social login, but also the services of our tech partners. One of Synfonium&#x27;s roles is to create the critical mass of B2C &amp; B2B users and customers who will be able to use all these free and paid services. Today SaaS tech companies work in their own corner. Tomorrow we want to co-build this platform with the ecosystem to make all this European tech visible and find users and then customers. The path is long, complex and expensive, but there is a real expectation to have this platform in the Cloud SaaS EU which respects our values and our European laws. I don&#x27;t know if we&#x27;re going to succeed all or part of it or nothing at all, but instead of saying that it&#x27;s impossible, that it&#x27;s lost in advance, that we don&#x27;t have enough means, we, we will try. I&#x27;m counting on you to help us build this platform, as the tech partner, being the user and why not one day as a customer. “Being part of the Synfonium ecosystem” is how we will measure the success of the project. If you approve, feel free to RT. Thanks in advance, and now to work :)</code></pre>
