VivaTech 2026: The State is present for this 10th edition under the "Numérique.gouv" banner
For the fourth consecutive year, the State will be present for this 10th edition of the VivaTech salon, dedicated to technological innovation and startups, which will take place from June 17 to 20, 2026, at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. With 200,000 visitors expected, more than 4,000 exhibitors, and 60 country pavilions (representing 170 nationalities), this salon will be an opportunity to showcase to the general public and professionals the major digital transformation projects undertaken by the State, as well as to recruit tech professionals. More than 2,000 job openings are available.
The 2026 edition of VivaTech will be marked by an unprecedented geopolitical context, where mastering digital technologies has become a major strategic challenge. In this framework, the State is accelerating its trajectory toward digital sovereignty. Reducing extra European dependencies, deploying interoperable and sovereign solutions, reinforcing the cybersecurity of public infrastructures, and developing artificial intelligence at the service of the general interest: these are the priority projects currently mobilizing public tech agents within the State.
The efficiency of public action and simplifying the daily lives of users remain major challenges, which continue to mobilize specialized technologies and expertise: artificial intelligence, infrastructure, cybersecurity, data, cloud, digital accessibility, or even design.
