Franchise Expo Paris, the international event for franchise

14-16 March 2026 – Paris, Porte de Versailles.

A must-attend event for project leaders, entrepreneurs, and investors, Franchise Expo Paris returns for its 44th edition. The result of a collaboration between Infopro Digital (organizer) and the French Franchise Federation (owner), Franchise Expo Paris offers a complete immersion into the world of franchise.

Founded in 1982, Franchise Expo Paris has established itself over the years as a key event for franchise on the French and international stage. Designed as an entrepreneur’s toolbox, the show aims to connect project leaders seeking new challenges with expanding brands, in order to build strong partnerships. Attendees will find the entire business creation ecosystem and can benefit from the experience and advice of franchisees and franchisors from over 500 brands.

A special event for master & multi-unit franchisees

Franchise Expo Paris is helping master and multi-unit franchisees since its creation. Every year, it facilitates the meeting and networking with fellow franchisees and brands that are looking to boost their internationale development.

This year we dedicated the 3-day event to this exclusive community: starting the day before with a premium dinner with top international franchisees passing on their insights and keys to their success stories. From 14th to 16th March, the expo organizes business meetings with a selection of brands to make sure they meet the brands that meet their requirements.
