An evening of networking and awards on 17 June 2026 at Parisante Campus, Paris, organised by French Tech Berlin with the 30 French Tech Communities of Europe. It convenes community leaders, founders and investors expanding across Europe.
La French Tech in Europe is an evening event held on 17 June 2026 from 17:30 to 22:30 at Parisante Campus, in the 15th arrondissement of Paris. It is organised by French Tech Berlin with La French Tech Dusseldorf, on behalf of the 30 French Tech Communities of Europe. The evening brings together community leaders, founders and investors around networking and an awards ceremony.
Doors open at 17:30, with opening remarks from institutional leaders (18:00), an awards ceremony (18:30), and cocktail networking from 19:00 to 22:30. The event connects presidents and board members of the French Tech Communities of Europe, business angels and investors from European venture firms, and French startups expanding across the continent. Sponsors include Barcelona Partners, Orrick and SouthwestX.
The evening runs on 17 June, the first business day of VivaTech, and follows directly from the Venture Client Summit at the same campus. Its pan-European framing makes it a connector across the French Tech chapters of the continent.
No individual speakers are named on the event page.
It is a side event on the evening of 17 June, the first business day of VivaTech, organised by the French Tech Communities of Europe. It is independent of VivaTech ticketing.
French Tech Berlin is the lead host, with La French Tech Dusseldorf, coordinating the 30 French Tech Communities of Europe rather than the national French Tech mission directly.
It is not designed for: the general public, since registration is approval-based; companies with no European expansion or investment interest; attendees seeking a seated conference rather than a reception with an awards ceremony; and walk-ins, since a place must be approved.
The evening is held at Parisante Campus, 2-10 Rue d'Oradour-sur-Glane, 75015 Paris, a health and innovation campus near Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. The same campus hosts the Venture Client Summit earlier in the day.
French Tech Berlin is a community and ecosystem builder, part of the international French Tech network, here acting as lead host with La French Tech Dusseldorf. The event represents the 30 French Tech Communities of Europe, spanning cities from Amsterdam to Yerevan. The network connects French and European founders and investors across the continent.
