The event, which was jointly organised by the British Embassy Paris and France Start-Ups Inc, was attended by over 100 people and included workshops on using online collaboration tools and competing in global markets. There was also a presentation by Angel Investors UK on how to raise funding.

The UK and France both have vibrant start-up cultures and a wealth of talent in the technology sectors. Our job at UKTIis to find ways to bring together people in those sectors so that they share innovation and generate growth. Events like this are a great way to do that.
