Viva Technology

Viva Tech was founded in 2016 through a collaboration of Publicis Groupe and Les Echos. In just a few years, VivaTech became Europe’s biggest tech and startup event. But an international conference with thousands of exhibitors and startups doesn’t come together overnight. For our event that happens at the beginning of the summer, our teams start building the program the autumn before and ramp up operations even more right before June.

Over the years, we have had speakers on our stage like Mark Zuckerberg, Tim Cook, Sumbul Desai, CZ, Tami Bhaumik, plus many others. Supporting us all year long and bringing together the most important startup ecosystems are our partners such as Google, LVMH, Orange, BNP Paribas, La Poste, Huawei, Salesforce, and Microsoft.

Today’s business and societal challenges are huge. But, positive change can occur within the right conditions. If we fuel the power of sustainable innovation with a business focused mindset, we can generate positive outcomes for our tech-driven future.

This future starts with people, and a team that is ready to bring it to life, which is why every year the VivaTech team grows just a bit bigger, adding top talents in each department.

VivaTech is growing to be the leading international event for the best startups and hottest tech, bringing the brightest minds and disruptive voices together to challenge the status quo and build the future, together. Join us!

We believe that technology is an engine for positive change and sustainable business. Business can ignite opportunities to invest in the solutions we need to construct our future that responds to the market and planetary challenges, responsibly.

The VivaTech team comes together to create as many opportunities for this change as possible – but doesn't forget to have fun while doing it. Our team members describe the culture of VivaTech as engaging, collaborative, playful, and motivating.
