Paris has a long history of being at the forefront of world fashion. Today, 30,000 people are employed in the sector and 70% of all design companies are located in the Paris area. Several prestigious schools contribute to Paris’ renown: l’ENSAD, Les Gobelins and l’ENSCI are amongst the world leaders for higher-education in design.
Paris Développement has created two corporate incubators dedicated to servicing design companies, encouraging young innovative design companies to network, establish partnerships and develop.
