PARIS OPENS NEW SF HIGH TECH OFFICE

SAN FRANCISCO – 12/04/06 – The Paris Regional International Mission Enterprise (PRIME) has opened an office in San Francisco to serve as a liaison between the Bay Area’s high technology businesses and their Paris-based French counterparts.

The new PRIME office is the organization’s first in the US with the express purpose of making France, specifically Paris, a "gateway" into Europe for US technology firms, researchers and investors.

The opening of the new office coincided by the visit of a trade delegation of French scientists, educators and business leaders that toured Molecular Foundry; a robotics laboratory at Stanford University, and a biomedical research center during the course of two days.

The delegation was led by PRIME chief executive Frederic Le Roux.

PRIME, a division of the Paris Regionial Economic Development Agency, has said it will work at exploiting the technology business and research ties already exist between Paris and Northern California, as well as creating new ones, according to Le Roux.

"The idea is to bring people together and see what comes out," he said, adding that PRIME plans to develop relationships with such Bay Area tech giants as Google, Yahoo and Apple Computer, along with leaders in the region’s burgeoning biotech sector.

According to the latest research, of the 16,000-plus US-based companies with operations in the Paris area, 450 are headquartered in California.
