According to Dealroom’s Global Tech Ecosystem Index 2025, Paris just overtook London as the #1 startup hub in Europe β€” and is now fourth globally behind Silicon Valley, New York, and Boston. While London still brings in more cash, the City of Light is growing faster in unicorns, AI talent, and enterprise value.

Also: fairly surprised this wasn’t technically already the case given what I know of the French Tech ecosystem, but I guess capital/language/culture used to make it easier for London up until now.
