Station F

Station F is a business incubator for startups, located in 13th arrondissement of Paris,[8] near Bibliothèque nationale de France–Site François Mitterrand.

[10][11] Situated in a former rail freight depot previously known as la Halle Freyssinet [fr] (thereof the "F" in Station F), the 34,000 m2 (370,000 sq ft)[12] facility was formally opened by President Emmanuel Macron[13] in June 2017 and provides office accommodation for up to 1,000 start-up and early stage businesses as well as for corporate partners such as Facebook, Microsoft and Naver.

[15] It is estimated that during these first five years, its companies raised more than 8 billion euros and directly created 47,200 jobs.

First opened in 1929, the former rail depot has been extensively remodeled by architects Wilmotte and Associates to meet the needs of small start-up companies.
