Startups such as Sweetch Energy (France) and Neoplants (France) will showcase their contributions at the event.
Inclusion and diversity in the workplace will also be highlighted as entrepreneurs combine new technologies and societal challenges to reinvent education, training, and work.

A Women’s Health Startup Challenge, organized with FemTech France, will offer selected companies a boot camp to support their business development.
In partnership with Global Sports Week, VivaTech will create a gathering dedicated to the positive transformation of sport, focusing on cultural, technological, and environmental changes in the industry.
This partnership will connect key stakeholders in sports through conferences and debates and showcase sports tech startups such as Sirius (Switzerland) and Orange Velodrome (France).
