We were joined by three startups from our accelerator - Spark Cleantech, Scienta Lab & Cocoparks who leveraged this B2B visibility to foster numerous meetings and discussions with potential prospects, institutional partners, or local authorities.

On this occasion, we also learned that 21st by CentraleSupélec had been awarded the "Innov'up Incubation" label by the Ile-de-France region, which will provide our incubated startups with easier access to regional aid #Innov’up: up to 30,000 euros, co-financed by the Region and Bpifrance, covering up to 50% of eligible expenses.

The 7th edition of VivaTech - held from June 14 to 17 - set a new attendance record by exceeding 150,000 visitors for the first time.

VivaTech is now the new must-attend global event for tech, startups, and digital.

Over four days, these visitors from 174 countries were able to discover hundreds of world-exclusive innovations and attend talks by the biggest speakers on the international stage, starting with Elon Musk, who filled the Dôme de Paris for the occasion, and Marc Benioff, CEO and co-founder of Salesforce.

Over 450 speakers addressed the current context and contemporary challenges, with a strong focus on artificial intelligence, Climate Tech, inclusion and diversity in Tech, and the "Future of Sport."
