Enterprise AI to dominate discussions at VivaTech 2026

VivaTech 2026 will spotlight the technologies, founders and ideas driving the next wave of innovation, offering a front-row seat to leaders building the next generation of AI infrastructure, applications and operational systems. Beyond foundation models and chatbots, many European companies are focused on applying AI to complex systems already embedded into everyday life: manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, cybersecurity and energy infrastructure.

Deploying AI inside large organisations introduces different challenges: governance, compliance, security, operational reliability and long-term integration. Startups are increasingly judged on their ability to integrate into existing environments and deliver measurable operational value, while investors prioritise infrastructure, deployment and measurable outcomes over pure experimentation.

Those realities are expected to shape many of the conversations on the event floor.
