Gabrielle Inzirillo / Director, Fintech Plug and Play Ventures
When we think about Paris, we often think about clichés such as the Eiffel Tower, haussmanian architecture or baguette. But what people tend to forget is that 4 of the largest banks in the world are based here, and it makes a perfect testing ground for startups and entrepreneurs in financial technologies to test their solutions.
Plug and Play is an early stage venture capital fund based in Silicon Valley. It made sense to set up in Paris and be part of this wonderful ecosystem and vibrant vision
Over the past 3 years we've seen the government intvest time and effort in promoting startups in financial technology. As we're seeing Paris and the region growing and evolving rapidly, we've started to look at making the city our home.

Consensys is the largest blockchain employer in France. Paris is a very interesting financial hub for us. We chose France, and in particular Paris, because it's a great place to attract talents. And finally, Paris is interesting from the regulation point of view, especially on the blockchain side with the AMF (Financial Markets Regulatory Authority) which is really an advanced regulatory body compared to other regulators in Europe and which has helped new businesses and business models to emerging in France.
