Those fixed-term, competitive and highly networked programs offer a wide array of resources, services and connections to participant companies. However, the business acceleration phenomenon remains scarcely studied considering the newness of the phenomenon and the availability of usable data, especially at national level. This study proposes an exploratory study of early-stage company acceleration in France and asks the question of what are the characteristics and differences of the French acceleration ecosystem in comparison with other ecosystems. The study is built upon a survey distributed among French accelerators in the country. The study shows strong evidence of a specific logic of company acceleration in France marked by a higher relative importance of accelerators in the ecosystem, contrasting with a lack of maturity of accelerators. This translates into a higher relative number of accelerators, a lower share of for-profit accelerators, strong variance in the portfolio of resources and services, including lower levels of investment end equity ownership by accelerators in the country. / A aceleração de empresas novas, enquanto um fenômeno bastante recente, surge cada vez mais como ume opção atraente para os fundadores de startups e está se tornando um elementochave do ecossistema global de empreendedorismo. Esses programas de prazo fixo, competitivos e bem ligados com outros atores da economia oferecem uma ampla gama de recursos, serviços e conexões para empresas participantes. No entanto, o fenômeno da aceleração de startups continua sendo pouco estudado considerando a novidade do fenômeno e a disponibilidade reduzida de dados, especialmente ao nível nacional. Este trabalho propõe um estudo exploratório da aceleração de empresas novas na França e interroga quais são as características e diferenças do ecossistema de aceleração francês em comparação com outros ecossistemas no mundo. O estudo é baseado em uma pesquisa distribuída entre aceleradores franceses no país. O estudo mostra evidências de uma lógica específica de aceleração de empresas novas na França, marcada por uma maior importância relativa dos aceleradores no ecossistema, contrastando com a falta de maturidade dos aceleradores. Isso se traduz em um maior número de aceleradores, uma menor participação de aceleradores com fins lucrativos, uma forte variação na gama de recursos e serviços oferecidos, incluindo níveis mais baixos de investimento e de participação dos aceleradores no capital das empresas aceleradas.
