Paris Club of Innovation Directors

The Paris Club of Innovation Directors was born at the first National Meeting of Innovation Directors, in 2008. Its aim is to build a shared understanding of a fast-changing world and to be a place of encounter and exchange, allowing Innovation Directors to benefit from the experience of their peers. An exceptional networking community, it is also a place where knowledge is capitalized on and where members stay in permanent contact with the best international practices, studies and analyses in innovation.

The Club brings together around a hundred Innovation Departments*, mainly from large groups and also from mid-sized companies with international operations. Most members are world leaders in their sector. The Club also welcomes the Innovation Departments of public administrations and of major scientific and technological research centers.

*or R&D, Marketing, CSR, Strategy or any other department effectively leading innovation where no Innovation Director position exists.

The activities offered by the Paris Club have a single purpose: to make the professional lives of Innovation Directors easier by giving them access to high-quality analyses at the best international level, high-level reflection, a strategic approach, outstanding training, trips and visits, as well as concrete solutions enriched by experience-sharing with their peers. These quality inputs are available at a marginal cost, made possible by pooling resources and by the Club’s all-inclusive format.
