Centre-Val de Loire is a leading French Region at the heart of our country, and since the Renaissance the cradle of invention, creativity, innovation in all forms. Following the paths of Leonardo da Vinci who lived and died in the Loire Valley 500 years ago and who was altogether a scientist, an artist and a visionary inventor, the Region Centre-Val de Loire supports humanist innovating ideas, researches and companies in an outstanding natural and cultural environment, devoted to quality of life and the art of living “à la française”.

For the third time, the region Centre-Val de Loire is a major partner of Viva Technology, ambitioning to share its vision and values on the digital society and future with the world leading actors of the field. We believe that the digital revolution can be compared with the humanist revolution of Printing appeared at the Renaissance, leading to a new society and exercise of citizenship. Therefore, public actors must be first in line to meet this challenge, inventing digitalized public services and questioning a human use of technology.
