With one ceremonial push, work has begun in Paris on what French government leaders are calling the world’s largest startup incubator.

The $190-million project will renovate Paris’ Halle Freyssinet, a 323,000-square-foot railway building constructed in the 1920s, for use as an incubator space with room for 1,000 startups, according to Journal du Net.
