Final of the Tech For Change Awards - Innovation That Moves the World Forward
The Tech For Change Award is launching its very first edition, with a clear mission: spotlight business models that are truly reshaping the world for the better. From over 150 recognized startups, six finalists—each a VivaTech exhibitor—have been selected for the real, measurable impact of their solutions on society or the planet. They will pitch their vision to a jury of experts, alongside their mentor for the session, Marie Ekeland. The grand winner will be announced on Thursday, June 12, during the Global Awards Ceremony.
