France : what are the best tech centered incubators around Paris?

1 points by Jacqued ↗ HN
And where is there a tech hub, if such a thing exists in Paris ? I know about the Camping but i assume others exist which might be just as good or even better... I am currently working on a startup with 3 associates and we could use some mentoring or at least some exchanges with fellow upstarts.

Many of the French universities have incubators, for some you do not need to be a current student but have a graduate or alumni in the founding team (for example, the Sciences Po incubator is like this.)

LeCamping is actually an accelerator, not an incubator.

The région IDF and Paris Développement also have an incubator, I think Paris Incubateurs is the name.

But if you are simply looking for mentoring and not necessarily a work space, you may also want to look into the Founder Institute program, which gives you access to mentoring and a great network through their weekly sessions.
