The Arts et Métiers incubator Arts et Métiers in VivaTech from June 17 to 20 at the Porte de Versailles in Paris.
VivaTech is billed as Europe’s largest startup event. This year, it will take place from June 17 to 20 at the Porte de Versailles in Paris. Three days are reserved for industry professionals, and the final day, Saturday, is open to the general public. Its exhibitors include the major players in innovation in France: large corporations, startups, institutions, and investors. 180,000 visitors and 3,600 investors are expected to attend.
A unique opportunity
“VivaTech is an exceptional opportunity, but the fees to participate are very high,” says Marie Brandewinder, director of the Arts et Métiers incubator.
Through its participation in VivaTech, the incubator aims to raise the profile of startups, which will have a unique opportunity to showcase their innovations and identify growth opportunities.
For the Arts et Métiers incubator, VivaTech is an opportunity to attract other high-quality projects and build connections.
A larger booth
Compared to last year, the incubator will have a larger booth (15 square meters, up from 9 square meters in 2025). “The organizers of VivaTech want to showcase more tech startups, so they’ve offered us more space,” explains Marie Brandewinder.
That leaves room to feature three startups each day, for example:
- Nobsolete, which offers truly sustainable home appliances (more information);
- Sycon, which offers a solution to help manufacturers optimize their production, improve energy efficiency, and accelerate their digital transformation (more information);
- Whisper, which designed the first electric hydrofoil boat, capable of speeds of 45 knots with a range of 100 nautical miles (more information)… All of these examples illustrate the unique focus of the Arts et Métiers incubator, Arts et Métiers prioritizes industrial, innovative, and sustainable projects.
“We have selected startups that are currently or were previously incubated, as well as startups supported by international partners , ” says Marie Brandewinder.
