French-German Tech Lab

Digital Hub Initiative, Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, North-Rhine-Westphalia, Saarland, The German-French Academy for the Industry of the Future (Institut Mines-Télécom and Technische Universität München) and The French-German Institute for Industry of the Future (Arts et Métiers Institute of Technology and Karlsruhe Institute of Technology), The Franco-German University, The French-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry and The International Data Spaces Association.

Germany and France, both countries with an industrial tradition, see the digital transformation as a prerequisite for economic growth and an opportunity to achieve prosperity.

The French-German collaboration initiated at Viva Technology in 2018 by academic, economic, and regional actors attracted strong interest from political, industrial and startup representatives. Today we go further with a Lab dedicated to the promotion of French-German business, entrepreneurship, education, research and technological cooperation (Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, Advanced Manufacturing, etc.)

Our alliance at Viva Technology already contributed to several disruptive research and business success stories between our two countries. After meeting clients or investors, our startups were able to establish themselves on both sides on the Rhine, showing not only the market opportunities that startups were able to leverage due to this collaboration, but also the attractiveness of our countries and the competitiveness of our economies.

The French-German Tech Lab will give you access to more than 100 innovative startups brought to you by 12 academic, economic and regional actors. Our experts and guests will inspire you with our program of conferences and roundtables on French-German business opportunities and technological challenges.
