France-Paris: Cultivating Urban Innovation for the Smart City.
Background
This initiative provides an exciting opportunity for both French and international organizations to showcase groundbreaking solutions within the municipalities of the greater Paris Metropolis during an 18-month experimentation period.
These municipalities will receive comprehensive guidance, assistance, and support from the teams at the Greater Paris Metropolis and "Paris&Co" to meticulously identify ideal locations, facilitate optimal conditions for these experiments, and conduct thorough evaluations.
Starting from May 2024, forward-thinking project leaders, including startups, associations, and large corporations, will have the chance to submit their applications to be part of the 30+ solutions being tested in the metropolitan area.
This program is a collaborative effort in partnership with Paris&Co (the innovation and economic development agency of the Paris metropolitan area), Choose Paris Region (a governmental agency dedicated to enhancing the appeal of the Paris Region), and the Banque des Territoires.
We are actively seeking innovative companies specializing in urban innovation, spanning areas such as mobility, urban nature, climate change adaptation, waste management, logistics, culture, and the circular economy. These companies should offer market-ready solutions or products, along with the necessary support for their successful implementation in urban environments.
