Core offering

Paris Europlace is an industry association that brings together more than 600 players in the financial ecosystem—banks, insurance companies, asset managers, intermediaries, fintechs, industrial and commercial companies, consulting firms, law firms, and public stakeholders. It promotes the Paris financial center through working groups addressing regulatory and strategic priorities, major annual events, expert representation to national and international authorities, and member services including publications and webinars.

Product overview

Paris Europlace is an industry association, not a technology product company. It operates as a unified organization promoting the Paris financial center rather than a platform-plus-modules architecture. The organization offers a portfolio of programs and services including major annual events (Paris Finance Forum, Paris Infraweek, Les Rencontres de l'IFD, Europlace Meetings), sub-brands focused on sustainable finance (Institut de la Finance Durable) and fintech innovation (Finance Innovation cluster), over 35 working groups and committees addressing financial regulation and innovation topics, publications and documents, and member services including privileged access to working groups, expert representation, exclusive events, conferences, webinars, and documentary resources.
