FAQ · Identity and audience

What is the link with VivaTech?

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.

Who organises it?

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.

Who is La French Tech in Europe NOT designed for?

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 venue: Parisante Campus

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.

The organiser: French Tech Berlin and the Communities of Europe

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.
