Le Business: Empowering Startups

Co-presented with the French Cultural Center of Boston, this panel will explore the validity of President Macron’s desire to embrace entrepreneurship, and compare the evolving business landscapes of Paris to Boston in becoming a cradle for startups.

What lessons can be learned from Boston’s ongoing evolution and what can be applied to the French business environment under President Macron’s term? Are France and Paris capable of the reform needed to adopt this agenda, sustain startup growth, and attract new ventures or promote repatriation?

Moderated by Martha Crawford, Senior Lecturer at Harvard Business School
