“AI at the core of everything” – This is what Vivatech in Paris is like

Vive la technologie! It shouldn't be difficult to get startups and other tech companies to celebrate technological progress. But Viva Technologie—or Vivatech for short—in Paris is much more than just an industry's self-congratulation. We took a look around the Paris Expo for you.

Kazuchika Iwata at Vivatech
Live politics – Politics will also be strongly represented at Vivatech, not only in the form of Marina Ferrari, French Minister of State for Digitalization, who will praise President Macron's economic policy and present some of her successes. Under the heading "Bullet Train to the Future," this year's partner country will also be presenting itself. Japan Kazuchika Iwata, Minister of State at the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan, not only brought a glimpse into the long-standing French-Japanese friendship, but also a video message from Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. He then handed the microphone to Manabu Miyasaka, Vice Governor and CIO of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, who enthused about a collaboration between Vivatech and Sushitech. During the remainder of its four-day program, Vivatech will also welcome Thierry Breton, EU Commissioner for the Internal Market, Charles Michel, President of the European Council, and John Kerry, US Secretary of State under President Obama and US Special Envoy for Climate Action for President Biden until March of this year.
