They Say It Best

  • JOOKS

    “We are now working with large companies such as RATP as well as Air France. This is proof that VivaTech is a place where we can meet great contacts and accelerate a decision to start working with a company."
  • Jumbo Mana

    “There really was a before and after VivaTech for our company. We had no clients before. Now we are well-known and have commercial partnerships with several companies."
  • ChatLabs

    For Michel, the opportunity to exhibit his startup with the world leader in luxury like LVMH at VivaTech was tremendous. “It’s impossible not to stop by the LVMH booth when you are at VivaTech. So we were super busy and got a lot of exposure. I lost my voice within 24 hours with the amount of speaking we were doing.”
