Paris Développement organises regular events to facilitate and encourage business networking. These come under the umbrella of the Paris Technopole initiative and are addressed in particular to the three trade clusters that Paris promotes: Design, Health and Digital.
Some of our most popular business networking events includes:
Business Brunches: a monthly forum where cross-sector concerns are raised and discussed informally between business leaders and innovators in their sectors.
Health Sciences Evening Debates: It requires a wide range of skills and disciplines to find innovative answers to the complexities of modern health sciences. Paris Technopole has therefore created a regular round table event that focuses on a core scientific challenge for a targeted audience. Keynote expert scientists address the issues, followed by informal debate and exchange. Inter-disciplinary responses to modern health issues are a key requirement to innovative responses.
