The Next European Unicorn Awards
For its 4th edition, VivaTech was on the hunt for the best European Scaleups who aim to be the Next European Unicorns! The first edition of the Next European Unicorn Awards, in partnership with VC partner Accel as well as media partners Les Echos and the Wall Street Journal, allowed us to showcase Europe’s solid potential for scaleups, with 30 European scaleups having been selected as finalists at VivaTech. We had 6 category winners as well as a Grand Prize. The 2019 Grand Prize was won by French scaleup OpenClassrooms for traction potential, impact and leadership.
The Next Startupper Challenge by VivaTech
The first edition of VivaTech’s inter-university competition was a real success! With the aim of promoting business projects amongst students, our French partner universities selected and submitted their students' best projects. 12 promising projects were pitched to top managers from BNP Paribas, EY, Google, Les Echos START, LVMH, Publicis and Valeo. Néolithe, a startup producing eco-friendly concrete from Polytechnique, was awarded the first prize by Frédérique Vidal, the Minister of Higher Education, Research and Innovation.
