Viva Technology 2018: the international trade event for startups and innovation

Viva Technology, the international rendezvous for innovation and startups, will take place in Paris from 24 to 26 May, at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, Hall 1. Viva Technology, an event co-organised by Publicis Group and the Group Les Echos, is dedicated to the growth of startups, digital transformation and innovation. The fair connects startups and major companies in a single unit in time and space to facilitate interaction, foster collaboration, and present the latest innovations.

Viva Technology is back for its third edition with the very basics that made the previous two events a success, and that have now become a hallmark of the show:

  1. a definite focus on open innovation and cooperation between startups and major groups via labs;
  2. hundreds of conferences on the latest trends and hottest topics to understand and anticipate developments in our business sectors and society;
  3. a massive hackathon bringing developers from around the world together;
  4. a sneak preview of the latest innovations and disruptive technologies to try out.
