The world's largest start-up support facility opened in Paris, France in June 2017. Founded by Xavier Niel, founder of French telecoms giant Iliad, the 51,000m2 site is home to more than 1,000 startups as of 2020, including multinationals such as La French Tech and Facebook. In addition to incubation and acceleration activities, the project is also a national project, with President Macron speaking at the event.
The name comes from the fact that the facility was built in a former railway station.
