Viva Technology, or VivaTech, is where big companies and bold startups work together on audacious innovations that can transform businesses. Co-organized by the advertising company Publicis and major newspaper Les Échos, the event partners with global companies from all industries and sectors such as LVMH, Accor Hotels, BNPParibas, EY… and of course Cisco.
Started in 2016, VivaTech aims to be a CES-like event, and it’s on track: this year it overcame expectations gathering 68,000 visitors, 6,000 startups, 50 exhibitor countries, 1,500 journalists and 1,400 investors.
Close to 250 sessions were delivered by 500 speakers, featuring highly respected business personalities such as Eric Schmidt, Executive Chairman at Alphabet, Jeff R. Immelt, Chairman & CEO at GE, and our very own Executive Chairman John Chambers amongst them.
We can't help but think that this echoes our very own DNA at Cisco. Especially in France, where Cisco is committed to accelerating France's digital transformation through its partnership with the French government signed in 2015, investing heavily in education, innovation and research.
This makes Vivatech the perfect setting for us to showcase our expertise and position ourselves as the technology leader of digital transformation - and we have done so for the second edition in June 2017.
This year's Vivatech was an incredible event full of highlights. With a big focus on the Internet of Things and its impact on business, Cisco showed its business and technology leadership, and that we are innovation leaders in digitization.
This is how we provided to the event's 68,000 visitors, concrete proof of our commitment towards the digital transformation in France at Vivatech 2017:
