Facebook Inc. will open a startup incubator at Paris’s soon-to-debut entrepreneur campus created by billionaire Xavier Niel, as Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg vows to keep investing in France.
The company will have engineers on the ground at incubator-campus Station F and offer workshops to entrepreneurs, Sandberg said at an event in Paris, alongside Niel, site director Roxanne Varza and Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo. Facebook will focus on supporting companies whose products revolve around data, in a bid to also learn from these startups and better cater to small business partners, she said.
