“We are excited to host our European customers in Paris, one of the key business hubs in one of our fastest-growing regions,” said Rob Bernshteyn, CEO of Coupa. “In the past year, we’ve aggressively expanded our European presence to support our rapidly growing European customer base. We opened a new customer success hub in Dublin to build upon our existing regional offices in Paris and Frankfurt, we expanded our partner ecosystem to more completely meet our customers’ needs, and committed to continuing to deliver unrivaled success for our customers in the region. We’re eager to engage with our customers, partners, and employees at this exciting annual event in Europe.”
Coupa customers such as Technicolor and NEC EMEA will have the opportunity to share their experiences at Inspire and will learn how to continue streamlining their spend management programs.

Coupa gives us the ability to identify not just opportunities for savings, but also opportunities to strengthen relationships with our suppliers and drive real, measurable business impact.”
“Coupa’s platform has rapidly become a key leverage for the development of our procurement strategy”, said Cédric Le Saveant, director of sourcing performance & operations at Technicolor in France. “Coupa not only helped us to develop new sourcing services but has also driven the digital transformation of our organization and boosted new business integration of new entities within the group.”
