Paris takes the 'tech city' crown from London

Revolution is afoot in the tech capital of France, as major players like Revolut announce their move to Paris, doubling down on its growing startup ecosystem. The British-founded fintech giant has invested €1 billion to establish its European headquarters there, promising 200 new jobs and signaling the city's rise as a global tech hub. Meanwhile, Paris has edged past London in tech investment rankings after a surge in enterprise value for local startups between 2017 and 2024. Station F, Europe’s largest startup campus, has seen a boost thanks to AI talent and increased funding, with President Emmanuel Macron championing the city's startup ambitions and ecosystem growth.
