The world’s largest startup incubator, based in Paris, celebrates its ninth anniversary this week as Europe’s maturing tech ecosystems become increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence and changing geopolitics.
Station F has worked with more than 9,000 startups since it opened its doors in 2017. Since then, it has spun out companies such as Hugging Face, quantum giant Pasqal and Pollen Robotics.
The campus that turned a disused railway station into the world's largest startup hub released a batch of numbers to mark the anniversary that tells a story about building a tech company in Europe.
Artificial intelligence everywhere
Artificial intelligence is having its moment at Station F, and this year its new F/AI program brought every major AI player onto campus, including Mistral AI.
