San Francisco Business Times - November 24, 2006

A Parisian economic development agency is opening an office near San Francisco's Mission Bay in hopes of forging alliances between Bay Area and Paris area biotech, high-tech companies and universities.

PRIME, the Paris Region International Mission Enterprise, will open its first office in the United States Nov. 30 to connect investors, researchers and tech-driven companies in the Paris region to the Bay Area.

PRIME's office, at 2415 Third St. near the University of California at San Francisco's Mission Bay campus, will be used to not only market the Paris area as a European base for Bay Area companies, but will also allow French companies collaborating with local companies to have temporary work space as needed.

'Paris and the Bay Area are the leaders in innovation, life science and discovery,' said Regis Baudoin, CEO of Paris Region Economic Development Agency, PRIME's parent organization. 'The partnership is a natural fit."
