Paris mega-campus Station F wooing tech startups in London

Paris

FRENCH billionaire Xavier Niel wants thousands of technology entrepreneurs, investors and inventors to base themselves in the Station F mega-campus for startups he's building in downtown Paris - and he's starting his search for them in London.

The 34,000-square-metre venue opens in spring next year, but Station F executives are already out to convince startups and businesses to choose it as their headquarters. They will host entrepreneurs at an event in London on Tuesday, with the UK an obvious seduction target amid Brexit uncertainty.
