In the last case, many emerging companies have succeeded in concluding contracts or financing thanks to VivaTech. The ambition of VivaTech is to strengthen the global dimension of the event and to continue to be a leading platform for the world of startups and for the whole ecosystem of innovation and Artificial Intelligence.
