A look back at VivaTech 2024
An essential European event for technological innovation, VivaTech has once again made its mark. Its eighth edition, from May 22 to 25, 2024, welcomed 120 foreign delegations and more than 165,000 visitors, a figure up 10% compared with 2023 and 20% higher than the attendance at Consumer Electronics Show 2024 in Las Vegas.
On the program: artificial intelligence and sustainable innovation
13,500 startups were present, among the most promising in the global tech ecosystem, and 2,000 investors and investment funds answered the call. This year, artificial intelligence and sustainable technologies were put under the spotlight. Around 40% of exhibitors presented innovative solutions based on artificial intelligence.
