Our DeepDive Paris in May 2024 also took us to STATION F, the world’s largest startup hub.
The former coach house was adapted for this purpose by French tech tycoon Xavier Niel and opened in 2017.
Today, it offers 1,000 start-ups the opportunity to develop their business ideas.
StationF receives an impressive 11,000 applications for its 30 different programs every year and is operating at 100% capacity.
The start-ups are supported in various ways, including the provision of affordable accommodation.
Another highlight at StationF is the green restaurant area, which is also open to the public: rails and train carriages are reminders of the former use of this location.
During this visit, we also had the opportunity to exchange experiences with ECOLE42 and Schneider Electic.
