VivaTech 2026: Where open innovation meets startups
From June 17 to 20, 2026, VivaTech, Europe’s biggest open innovation and startup event, will celebrate its tenth edition at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. Each year, VivaTech brings together startups, tech leaders, major corporations and investors to tackle the world’s biggest challenges through innovation and collaboration.
With more than 180,000 attendees and 14,000 startups, VivaTech is the ultimate hub for Open Innovation. This year, the key themes will include Artificial Intelligence, GreenTech, Energy & Mobility, Cybersecurity & Defense, Health & Longevity, and Creative Industries.
