PARIS — Occupying the space of an abandoned 1920s train station in the south-east district of Paris is the world's largest start-up incubator called Station F, fully funded by French billionaire Xavier Niel.

Another 20km away lies another initiative of his: A coding school named 42 that has no teachers.

The 50-year-old telecommunications tycoon pays for the campus and the tuition fees of the 1,000 students that they accept each year at 42.
