VivaTech is a major European technology and startup festival held at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. In its milestone edition, the event is expanding into a larger three-story hall with a new 2,200-seat main stage and significantly increased exhibition space. The focus is strongly business-oriented, with more exhibitors, improved matchmaking tools, and ROI tracking for participants.
The festival is organized around four thematic “villages”: Human First (health and inclusion), Consumer Tech (lifestyle and retail), Urban Futures (mobility and energy), and Business Reinvented (AI and productivity). Its central theme, “Revolutions in Progress,” highlights emerging areas such as artificial intelligence, quantum technologies, open innovation, and technological sovereignty.
Special features include a landmark opening ceremony, a “Tech Oscars” awards show, and a dedicated consumer day. Germany is featured as “Country of the Year,” and G42 serves as the Exclusive AI Champion Partner, emphasizing responsible and globally connected AI innovation.
