## Summary

Paris Creator Week is growing as France establishes itself as a major centre for the creator economy, an increasingly professional industry spanning creators, platforms, brands and media companies. Organisers say the event aims to become a business-focused meeting place for the sector, where participants can develop partnerships and discuss how content is made, distributed and funded.

A study presented at the event estimates the global market will reach $217.3 billion in 2026, up 26.2% in a year, and $1.22 trillion by 2033. France’s market is forecast at $10.1 billion this year, with 227,000 full-time equivalent jobs; Paris Creator Week expects 8,000 attendees, twice last year’s number, and says 30% will come from abroad. Sponsorships and commercial partnerships make up nearly half of global creator economy activity, according to the study.
