STATION F unveils 2026 Future 40 as its startups raise €2 billion

STATION F has named its 2026 Future 40 and says startups on the Paris campus have raised a record €2 billion this year alone.

STATION F, billed as the world's biggest startup campus, has revealed its Future 40 list for 2026. The campus also announced that companies based there have raised a record €2 billion in 2026 alone.

The list is now in its eighth edition. With this year's selection, 320 companies have been recognised since the annual ranking began, according to the campus.

A broad mix of companies

The 2026 selection covers a variety of sectors and stages, reflecting the range of teams working on the campus. The Future 40 is meant to highlight the startups considered most promising among those hosted at STATION F.

Why it matters

The €2 billion figure is a record for companies at the campus, and it arrives at a time when founders across Europe are closely watching how much capital is available to young companies. For entrepreneurs, investors and policymakers, the number is a data point on the strength of the Paris ecosystem and of campus-based support models.

Being named to the Future 40 also offers visibility. Over eight editions the list has become a reference point for observers tracking which startups are gaining momentum in France and beyond.

Further details on the individual companies selected this year are published with the list itself.
