VivaTech 2026 conference highlights latest trends in AI and tech

VivaTech 2026, held from June 17–20 at the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, recently celebrated its 10th anniversary as Europe’s premier technology event.

Attracting 200,000 attendees, this "Fashion Week of Global Tech" served as a vital hub for over 14,000 startups and 4,000 investors.

Artificial intelligence was the central theme, moving from theory to real-world applications in healthcare and logistics.

A major highlight was the rise of AI agents—autonomous systems designed to streamline complex business tasks.

A standout demonstration showcased robots controlled directly by human brain activity through EEG technology.

During the conference, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos shared a notable perspective, suggesting that AI will likely cause significant labor shortages rather than completely replacing human workers.

VivaTech 2026 proved once again that it is the definitive meeting place for policymakers, corporate leaders, and tech pioneers to shape the future of our digital landscape.
