パリでOriginを見つけるか始める
Paris has built one of Europe’s most visible startup ecosystems around Station F, the giant former freight depot that now houses hundreds of early-stage companies, and around La French Tech, a national label that connects founders to mentors and international markets. The historical textile district of Le Sentier has become the heart of the young tech scene, while La Défense anchors corporate innovation and the Grandes Écoles supply a deep bench of engineers and business graduates. Recurring formats include founder breakfasts, pitch evenings, demo days, and industry-specific apéros where fintech, AI, and climate teams compare notes over drinks. English is increasingly common in meetups, which helps international founders plug in before their French improves. What makes Paris distinct is the blend of government-supported infrastructure — public funding, incubators, and events — with a strong café culture that keeps the scene informal. Starting a startup Origin here works best with a narrow vertical and a regular rhythm: a monthly AI builders night or a climate tech table builds a loyal following faster than a generalist group.
