PayLater Europe is registered in Paris and is being developed in Sophia Antipolis, the technology park between Nice, Antibes and Cannes. Here is why we chose to build here.
A technology park in a travel destination
Sophia Antipolis is one of Europe's leading technology parks, home to research centres, engineering teams, universities and startups. It sits in the heart of the Côte d'Azur, one of the world's best-known travel destinations. For a travel-tech company, few places combine technical talent and real hospitality customers so closely.
Close to our partners
Our first partners are independent hotels and wellness businesses in Cannes, Antibes, Valbonne and the surrounding area. Being nearby lets us onboard partners in person, understand their seasons and constraints, and maintain quality as the platform grows.
An ecosystem for growth
The Côte d'Azur offers incubators, research institutions and public innovation programmes that support young companies. We are building relationships within this ecosystem as we prepare our January 2027 launch.
Local first, then Europe
Our model is designed to be replicated destination by destination. A focused start on the Côte d'Azur allows us to learn quickly and prove the model before extending it to other European destinations.
