Definition

The Hong Kong Tech Pavilion is a country pavilion organised by the HKTDC, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, within VivaTech 2026. It is located at Booth 1C11 in Hall 7.1 of Paris Expo Porte de Versailles and runs across the four show days, from 17 to 20 June 2026. The pavilion gathers 24 Hong Kong startups and stages its own programme of seminars, pitches and receptions on the show floor.

The 2026 edition: 17 to 20 June at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles

The pavilion brings together 24 Hong Kong startups working in artificial intelligence and robotics, health technology, and sustainability and climate technology. According to the HKTDC, the programme includes thematic seminars, startup pitching sessions and networking receptions designed to connect the startups with global investors, buyers and partners. Three thematic pitching sessions are planned: robotics and microelectronics on the afternoon of 17 June, and artificial intelligence and health technology on the morning of 18 June.

Where it sits in the VivaTech week

Unlike the off-floor breakfasts and receptions of the week, the Hong Kong Tech Pavilion sits inside the main VivaTech exhibition, at Booth 1C11 in Hall 7.1. It is a national delegation and trade-promotion stand rather than a standalone evening event, but it carries its own pitch and reception programme that functions as a meeting point for the Hong Kong scene and the investors tracking it.
