# The 100 largest startup incubators and accelerators in France

Tamtam tracks 414 startup incubators and accelerators headquartered in France. This list ranks the 100 largest by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by Team for the Planet, Aix-Marseille University and École Polytechnique. Their median headcount is 179. Half of them were founded in 2007 or later. The most common headquarters are Paris (39), Lyon (6) and Bordeaux (3).

These French organizations are primarily higher education institutions and research centers, alongside some government administration bodies and a climate technology manufacturer. They include large established entities like Aix-Marseille University, which educates over 80,000 students, and École Polytechnique, a leading institution in science and technology. Inria focuses on digital technology research and Deeptech startups, while Team for the Planet creates and funds open-source companies for greenhouse gas reduction. The CCI Paris IdF represents 840,000 businesses in the capital region.

A significant pattern among these organizations is their concentration in the Île-de-France region, with multiple headquarters located in Paris, Palaiseau, Jouy-en-Josas, and Gif-sur-Yvette. This indicates a strong presence of major educational and research infrastructures around the capital.

## How this list is built

Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 11, 2026.
