Cegid launches an Innovation Hub on campus

We’re excited to welcome Cegid to STATION F, with the launch of its Cegid Innovation Hub: a new space on campus dedicated to turning AI into real-world products.

By opening this Innovation Hub, Cegid strengthens its presence alongside leading technology players on campus, embedding its product teams directly within Europe’s largest startup ecosystem to collaborate, experiment, and build faster.

“Generative AI is evolving at a pace no software company can ignore. With the Cegid Innovation Hub, we aim to transform this acceleration into concrete value for our customers,” says Florian Cordel, VP Product & Innovation at Cegid.

From exploration to execution

With a dedicated space at STATION F, Cegid’s teams will work closely with startups, partners, and clients to explore new use cases, test emerging technologies, and co-build solutions grounded in real operational needs.

The hub is designed to accelerate how ideas move from concept to deployment – particularly in fields like finance, HR, accounting, and retail, where AI is reshaping how work gets done.

“With the Cegid Innovation Hub, we are anchoring our innovation strategy at the heart of the European tech ecosystem. This space for exchange will foster numerous interactions and connections between our product teams, the startups we support, our technology partners, and our clients,” concludes Antoinet Van Dalen, Director of the Startup Program at Cegid.

What this means for founders on campus

With Cegid on campus, founders will have direct access to:

→ Product teams working at the forefront of AI integration in business software

→ Collaborative opportunities to test and refine new technologies in real-world environments

→ Workshops, masterclasses, and events through the Cegid Startup Program

→ Direct connections to enterprise expertise, especially in complex and regulated industries

Already present at STATION F for the past five years through its startup program, Cegid is now deepening its commitment – moving from supporting startups to building alongside them.

Cegid’s decision to anchor its Innovation Hub on campus reflects both the growing importance of open innovation and the unique role STATION F plays in connecting startups with the technologies – and partners – they need to scale.

We’re looking forward to what will emerge from it.
