The 31 companies from across France were chosen as 'National Champions' by a panel of independent judges, including senior businesses and academic leaders.
At the event, attendees had the chance to speak to leading businesses in their field and hear from guest speakers including Luc Bardin, Chairman, Strategic Partnering Ltd.
The Paris event is the fifth in a series of events taking place across Europe to celebrate the 678 National Champions from 32 different countries. Future events will be held in Austria, Greece, Cyprus, Germany and Brussels.

Public voting closes on 26th February 2016.
Separately, the panel of independent judges will award the best of this group the coveted 'Ruban d'Honneur' status. Ruban d'Honneur recipients will then go on to be part of the grand finale in June 2016.

About the European Business Awards:
The European Business Awards' primary purpose is to support the development of a stronger and more successful business community throughout Europe.
For all citizens of Europe, prosperity, social and healthcare systems are reliant on businesses creating an even stronger, more innovative, successful, international and ethical business community - one that forms the beating heart of an increasingly globalised economy.

• It celebrates and endorses individuals' and organisations' success
• It provides and promotes examples of excellence for the business community to aspire to
• It engages with the European business community to create debate on key issues
The European Business Awards is now in its 9th year. It attracted over 24,000 businesses to the competition last year and in the public vote generated over 170,000 votes from across Europe.
