International Missions |The Growth Collective 

We’re excited to announce our next B2B Growth Mission will be to Paris, France from Tuesday, 10 February to Thursday, 12 February. This cross-sector Mission is fully focused on giving you commercial insights, networking opportunities and b2b meetings to help you prepare for entry and/or do better work in Paris and more widely across France! Deadline to register is Friday, 28 November at 12pmCET.

Why Paris? Simply enough, Paris is booming! (while the French government may be in disarray) Paris is ranked #8 startup ecosystem in the world, billions of EURs are being invested in the health ecosystem, it’s the home to the likes of Station F, blue chip tech & SME prospects, top tier universities and so much more. Whether it's the world-famous football club, PSG launching pilots with startups or the various French military branches kicking off new collaborations with young innovative companies, all things innovation and investments run through Paris. The full programme will be finalised by mid-January but if you're keen to see what a B2B Growth Mission is like, check out our London B2B Growth Mission programme (May 2025).

Over the three days, you’ll learn from unicorn/soonicorn commercial leads on best practices for the French market, network with leading French investors (oh la la…), connect with likeminded entrepreneurs and engage with b2b prospects.

This Mission is perfect for:

• CEOs/founders
• Sales leaders
• Marketing pros
• Business Development leads
• Those who just get things done commercially!

All our sessions will be in English, but we highly encourage whatever member of your team attends is confident engaging in business level French (C1 / C2). If not, that’s ok, we will make it work!

Participation fee (1 person): 2,106 EUR exc. VAT. 

2nd member of the team can join and will only be an additional 250 EUR.

Your participation fee includes: Group Dinner, Pitch & Networking Event, b2b meetings, all learning sessions and visits, public transport within Paris and catered lunches.

Your participation fee does not include: travel to and from Paris nor does it cover accommodation. However, we will recommend trains and a hotel to stay at during our time in Paris together.

If you have any questions, concerns, ideas or suggestions, please contact our Internationalization Officer, Andrew Herweg (Andrew.herweg@imec.be / +32 477 080 310).

See you in Paris!
