The TEAM FRANCE shares the goals advocated by Dean Kamen and his foundation FIRST since 1989 :
- We are a community dedicated to the cooperative pursuit of a more peaceful world, achieved by innovating together to ensure the life, freedom, success, advancement, and happiness of all who share our planet.
- We believe that every person has special gifts that make them innovators. The problems of planet Earth cannot be solved by an individual or a single nation alone. When we work together, there is nothing we cannot accomplish, and we can share the benefits of our new inventions with the entire world.

TEAM FRANCE aligns with the principles highlighted by the FIRST foundation :
- We promote peace by working together on science and technology projects. These undertakings foster common understanding and experiences.
- We treat everyone with unqualified kindness and respect. Empathy and hard work are the backbone of progress.
- We recognize the contributions of others. We learn more from each other than we do alone.
- We believe that the world does not need losers to have winners. One person’s success does not inevitably lead to another’s loss; instead, shared innovations can bring both rewards to innovators and a greater quality of life for all.
- We promote learning and creativity in our communities, our nations, and our world. Imagination and technology are essential tools to build a better future.
- We work to ensure that our own progress does not inhibit others. None of us can succeed at the expense of our fellow citizens.
- We love what we do. We share it with others and, in so doing, will not only drive our innovation, but also bring peace through collaboration.
