For the first time ever, investors find Paris more attractive than London. This is one of the first things you’ll notice when reading EY’s annual attractiveness rankings.
In 2017, France ranked 27th on the World Talent Report, compared to 28th in 2016. While that is certainly impressive in its own right, the sectors in which it does well are even more noteworthy.
Station F, the start-up hub opened in France in 2017, is the largest business incubator in the world, spanning 34 000 square meters (over 365 000 square feet).
Let’s face it: when you’re a woman, business is hard in the United States: in 2017, only 2% of Venture capital investment went to female entrepreneurs.
Each year, EY examines countries across the world to determine which ones are the most attractive for business, and in their 2018 report, France did amazingly well.
