Ten Indian AI startups have been selected to participate in a global acceleration programme in Paris as part of the IndiaAI Startups Global Initiative, an international effort led by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) in partnership with Station F and HEC Paris.
The initiative aims to provide Indian startups with global exposure, access to international markets, and opportunities for cross-border collaboration. The selected startups, which span diverse domains such as privacy engineering, conversational AI, earth observation, edtech, cybersecurity, and deeptech image editing, were chosen through a rigorous multi-stage process. They will participate in a four-month programme at Station F, the world's largest startup campus.
The accelerator includes a one-month virtual onboarding module followed by a three-month in-person residency in Paris. During this period, the startups will engage with European investors, mentors, and innovation networks through programming developed by HEC Paris, one of Europe's leading business schools.
Speaking on the announcement, Union IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw highlighted the strategic significance of the initiative, calling it a milestone in India's "innovation diplomacy". He noted that the move follows Prime Minister Narendra Modi's participation in the AI Action Summit in February 2024, signalling India's intent to shape global AI standards.
"India's AI ecosystem is now on the cusp of a global breakthrough. Through initiatives like this, we are enabling our most promising startups to tap into international markets, form global alliances, and create scalable, impactful solutions," he said.
The selected startups include, PrivaSapien Technologies, CoRover.ai, Staqu Technologies, SatSure Analytics, Storyvord, VolarAlta, Smartail, Secure Blink, NeuroPixel.AI, and Voicing AI.
"The IndiaAI Startups Global Initiative is more than an acceleration program, it is a bridge between India's talent and the world's innovation hubs," said Meity secretary S Krishnan. "These 10 startups exemplify the strength, diversity, and global potential of Indian AI. We are proud to support their next leap as global AI leaders."
MeitY Additional Secretary and CEO of the IndiaAI Mission, Abhishek Singh, said the programme is designed as a bridge between Indian talent and international innovation hubs, reflecting India's growing strength and ambition in AI.
This initiative is aligned with the broader IndiaAI Mission launched in March 2024, which aims to foster responsible and inclusive AI development across seven strategic pillars including compute infrastructure, innovation, skills development, and startup financing.

Fabrizio Romano confirms Liverpool working on mega double transfer
Richard Hughes is working on a double transfer for Liverpool according to Fabrizio Romano. The Reds' sporting director is not resting on his laurels. As well as trying to get a deal over the line for Alexander Isak, Hughes is also trying to bring in two more recruits at least. 🚨2025/26 LFC x adidas range🚨 LFC x adidas Shop the away range TODAY LFC x adidas Shop the home range today! LFC x adidas Shop the goalkeeper range today LFC x adidas Shop the new adidas range today! This is after a summer of unprecedented change and spending. Liverpool have broken their club record to sign Florian Wirtz, and paid hefty sums to bring in Hugo Ekitike and Milos Kerkez. But that investment is not enough in order to replace some of the club's departed stars. Liverpool need to provide depth in the attacking and defensive areas. Particularly at centre-back, where currently Arne Slot has just three senior options to choose from, one of them is injured in Joe Gomez. Hughes still has just less than three weeks to get deals over the line and according to Romano he's currently working on a double transfer that could be mega business from him yet again. 🔴 Shop the LFC 2025/26 adidas away range Given Liverpool's depth in the centre-back department, they probably need not just one but two new arrivals this summer. They were already a man short last season, and that's before Jarell Quansah departed for pastures new. So there is a need here to improve that department and Hughes is working on what could be a mega double deal according to Fabrizio Romano. Posting on his X account, Romano confirmed that Liverpool are working on a deal to sign both Marc Guehi and Giovanni Leoni. While previously others have suggested it's one or the other, Romano here has clarified that Liverpool want to sign both, which means there is the potential for an incredible double deal.

123Catalogue.fr study shows huge affordability gap between Paris and mid-sized cities
Research shows growing affordability crisis in France's largest cities, with mid-sized towns offering better value. study shows huge affordability gap between Paris and mid-sized cities PARIS, Aug. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nearly 28 years of average earnings - that is what it now takes to purchase a home in Paris, according to a new analysis by of housing affordability in 30 major French cities. The capital's price-to-income ratio of 27.9 places it far ahead of Aix-en-Provence (17.7) and Nice (16.1) as the least affordable markets in the country. Shop Top Mortgage Rates Your Path to Homeownership A quicker path to financial freedom Personalized rates in minutes The study measures affordability as the number of years a household on the average local salary would need to purchase a 70 m² property in that city. It draws on the latest data for both real estate values and incomes, offering a clear snapshot of purchasing power across the country. Mid-sized towns offer greater future uplift For a 70 m² property in Paris, the average price is €872,900 which is more than four times the price in Saint-Étienne, where the ratio is just 4.5 and the average home costs €111,580. Mulhouse (5.4) and Perpignan (5.7) also feature among the most affordable locations. Other cities in the lower half of the scale include Le Mans, Brest, and Limoges, all offering ratios under 7 years. These figures point to a widening divide between France's largest metropolitan areas and its mid-sized cities; a gap shaped by housing costs and broader economic conditions influencing where people can realistically achieve homeownership. In high-demand hubs such as Bordeaux (14.7) and Lyon (13.6), price growth has far outpaced income increases, pushing first-time buyers further from the market. 'Our data shows that residents of certain large cities face an almost insurmountable barrier to becoming homeowners. In Paris, the situation is particularly stark: even with an income above the national average, the cost of housing remains disproportionate. For households looking to buy, exploring mid-sized cities can offer much better real estate purchasing power. The market there is often healthier, with stable prices and attractive living conditions,' said Marc Dubois, owner of For many prospective buyers, the appeal of mid-sized cities lies not just in affordability but in their balance of amenities, connectivity, and quality of life. Cities like Saint-Étienne, Mulhouse, and Perpignan combine lower housing costs with salaries broadly in line with those of larger urban centres, offering a more achievable route onto the property ladder.
