It is a side event during the VivaTech week, on the morning of 16 June, co-hosted by PC'UP and RAISE Sherpas. It is independent of VivaTech ticketing. ### In what language is the event held? The event is held in French. ### Who is Built to Scale NOT designed for? It is not designed for: non-French speakers, since the session is in French; the general public, since registration is approval-based; founders outside deeptech, given the technical focus; and those seeking investor matchmaking rather than a practitioner panel on team scaling. ## The venue: PC'UP Incubateur ESPCI The event is held at the PC'UP incubator of ESPCI Paris, 6 Rue Jean Calvin, 75005 Paris, in the Latin Quarter. The incubator setting fits a panel and breakfast for a focused audience of technical leaders. ## The organiser: PC'UP and RAISE Sherpas PC'UP is the deeptech incubator of ESPCI Paris, a public engineering and physics school. RAISE Sherpas is the free incubator and endowment fund within the RAISE group, supporting early-stage founders. The pairing brings together a deeptech research-to-startup pipeline and an early-stage support structure. --- ## Editorial take *A practitioner morning on the hardest deeptech question: turning a research team into an organisation that can scale, told by CTOs who have done it.* ## How to register and what it costs Registration is free and handled through Luma, subject to host approval.
