NEOMA Business School becomes the first affiliate of STATION F's Landing Zone

Published on 19 June 2026

NEOMA Business School announces its affiliation with STATION F's Landing Zone, the world's largest startup campus. As the first organisation to be granted "Landing Zone Affiliate" status, the School will base the startups from its Paris incubator at the heart of the campus from June onwards.

A first for STATION F

The Landing Zone is STATION F's pre-programme space: an entry point designed for early-stage startups, where they develop their product, their team and their strategy before applying to the incubation programmes run by the campus or its partners. This unprecedented status allows NEOMA Business School to place projects selected by its own committees directly within the space. "Entrepreneurship is one of the key commitments of our strategic plan, Engage for the Future. With this affiliation, we are offering our students and graduates an environment that nothing else can match: working every day among a thousand startups, in direct contact with investors and major players in the tech sector," says Delphine Manceau, Dean and CEO of NEOMA Business School.

A springboard for NEOMA's startups

On site, the startups will benefit from STATION F's full range of resources: some 600 events a year, a community of more than 4,500 founders, and immediate proximity to the 30 programmes and 1,200 investors connected to the campus. The Landing Zone also plays a talent-spotting role: the teams at STATION F and its partners regularly identify promising projects there, which then go on to join their programmes following the usual application process. "The Landing Zone is designed for startups that are just getting going: a place to test, adjust, engage with the market and identify the programme best suited to their stage of development. Our startups will work there day to day, while continuing to be supported by our teams," explains Denis Gallot, Director of Entrepreneurship at NEOMA Business School. The scheme is open to all project leaders: the School's students and graduates alike. The first NEOMA startups have already joined STATION F since the beginning of June.
