Montpellier BIC joins the Financial Times’ Top 10 European ranking!

Montpellier BIC ranks 3rd in France, following STATION F and HEC Paris. It has become the highest-ranked French startup innovation hub outside the Paris region in the ranking.

Methodology based on performance over five years

The Financial Times study compares 180 hubs from 25 European countries.

For its first candidacy, the BIC was evaluated over the 2019–2024 period based on several criteria, including the:

• Range of assistance and services offered
• Economic performance of alumni companies
• Evaluation of the organization by the companies it assists

It is worth noting that only organizations that chose to submit their candidacy were included in the analysis.

This result reflects the collective effort of all BIC partners, funding and support providers, as well as the commitment of its teams. It also highlights the trust shown by the entrepreneurs who use BIC services.
