To mark VivaTech’s 10th anniversary, discover an interview with François Bitouzet, Managing Director of Vivatech since 2022.
An event dedicated to technological innovation and start-ups, we interviewed its Managing Director François Bitouzet who reflects on a decade of technological transformation and on Paris’s pivotal role in establishing itself as a global innovation hub. When it was founded in 2016, VivaTech welcomed 45,000 visitors. Last year, the number of visitors totalled 180,000.
For its anniversary edition, VivaTech is organising a free, immersive event outside the exhibition centre on Sunday 14 June 2026: Wide on the Champs-Elysées. Closed to traffic for the occasion, the avenue will be transformed into an open-air experiential trail, where robots, drones and AI will meet the general public.
