Paris La Défense business clubs

Europe’s largest business district hosts an exceptional concentration of talent within a unique professional ecosystem. Large corporations, mid-sized companies, SMEs, luxury brands, finance, healthcare, and industry firms... The diversity and density of Paris La Défense’s economic fabric make it a true laboratory for HR trends and practices.

Through the PLD+B program, Paris La Défense became the first French territory to join the international “Cities Can B” movement alongside Santiago, Mendoza, Rio, Asuncion, and Barcelona. Through this initiative, Paris La Défense supports both public and private companies in their environmental, social, and societal impact assessments to define progress pathways, while collectively working on accelerating the territory’s transition.
All stakeholders (businesses, higher education institutions, hotels, investors, retailers, etc.), regardless of size or sector, located or operating in the territory, are invited to participate in this collaborative exchange and working program. The PLD+B program is non-certifying and consists of six 3-hour working sessions.

Note: Program open only to companies established or active on the territory.

The business district is also a true open-air campus. It now brings together 70,000 students, 1 university, and more than 50 higher education schools. This exceptional concentration has given new momentum to the district, which is progressively adapting to students’ specific needs.
The Paris La Défense Campus Club aims to develop concrete actions to facilitate student integration on the territory, create dedicated services, and improve their quality of life. This club seeks to firmly embed student life in the city by co-constructing a comprehensive development policy (student housing, hospitality, sports, leisure, coworking, etc.) and strengthening links between educational institutions and local companies.
Note: Membership is free. The club is exclusively reserved for leaders and managers of higher education institutions in Paris La Défense.

In just a few years, Paris La Défense has become a major tourist destination in Greater Paris. The district brings together many players in business and leisure tourism: hotels, seminar and convention venues, museums, recreational and sports facilities, and more.
Four times a year, the MICE & leisure Club allows professionals in the sector to stay informed about tourism projects in the district, build connections with other local players, and participate in collective actions.

Note: Membership is free. The club is exclusively open to tourism professionals based in Paris La Défense.

Created in 2018, the Global Business Districts Innovation Club brings together 15 members from the world’s most prestigious business districts, including Paris La Défense, Chicago, San Francisco, Beijing, Montreal, Shenzhen, Amsterdam, Dublin, and many more.
Members regularly meet for themed gatherings or learning expeditions to share best practices on major business district attractiveness issues (services, mobility, CSR, cultural strategies, work modes, etc.).
