INNOVATION. Boosting the collective action of the Paris financial marketplace

The launch of the global financial services cluster, Finance Innovation, was announced in July 2007 by Christine Lagarde, the French minister for Economy, Finance and Employment. On this occasion, a contract between the French state, the City of Paris, the Ile-de-France Region and Paris Europlace, was signed. More specifically, this hub aims at strengthening the market share of the Paris financial market within Europe and at international level.
