PARIS, June 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Viva Technology confirms its return in 2021 in Paris, Porte de Versailles, in halls 1 and 2 as well as the Dôme de Paris. Europe's biggest startup and tech will have two days dedicated to professionals from the tech ecosystem on June 17 and 18, followed by a day open to the general public on June 19. The format that made the four previous editions a success will be enriched with new virtual experiences, ever more personalized and interactive, to be experienced from all over the world.
The fifth edition of VivaTech in 2021 promises to be a key international event in the context of the economic recovery, marked by the need to revive business and renew human ties. Since its creation, the event has fostered collaboration between a variety of innovative players and has helped startups accelerate their growth.

In addition, the VivaTech experience will be renewed and enriched with new digital experiences allowing everyone to discover new forms of interaction.
As Julie Ranty, Managing Director of VivaTech, reminds us: "For Maurice Lévy, Pierre Louette, Co-Presidents of VivaTech and myself, the next edition of VivaTech will be a great opportunity to put the power of innovation at the service of our society, to make it more inclusive and sustainable. This has been our mission since the creation of VivaTech and it is now more essential than ever. We will bring together, in a variety of formats, the world's most prominent tech leaders, thinkers, corporations, startups and investors to learn from this crisis, rethink business models and innovate collectively for the common good."
