VivaTech 2027

About the event

VivaTech is a large annual technology and startup show held in Paris since 2016. It is co-organized by Publicis Groupe and the Les Echos-Le Parisien media group. The event fills the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles exhibition centre for four days and brings together large corporations, startups, investors, media and the general public.

The programme mixes stage talks with exhibition halls, corporate innovation labs, startup challenges and awards, and dedicated tracks for investors. Topics cover artificial intelligence, consumer technology, mobility, climate, health and digital business. Recent editions report around 200,000 visitors from about 165 countries, more than 4,500 exhibitors and over 15,000 startups. The last day is usually open to a wider public audience, while the first days focus on business meetings.

Who should attend

Startup founders, including app makers, who want visibility with corporate partners and investors; venture investors scouting European deals; and business development people looking for partnerships. Attendees get access to large exhibition halls, startup challenges, investor networking areas and talks on AI and digital products, though mobile apps are only one topic among many.
