A half-day matchmaking event on 16 June 2026 in Paris, run by Choose Paris Region with the Systematic Paris-Region cluster. It pairs Paris-region corporate groups with international cybersecurity startups through roundtables, pitches and one-to-one B2B meetings.
Next-Gen Cybersecurity is a half-day professional matchmaking event held on 16 June 2026 in Paris. It is organised by Invest Paris Region, the economic development team of Choose Paris Region, and convened by the Cyber & Security Hub of the deeptech cluster Systematic Paris-Region. It is an open-innovation format connecting Paris-region corporate groups with international startups working on next-generation cybersecurity.
The day combines roundtable conferences, expert talks and startup pitches, closing with one-to-one B2B meetings between corporate groups and international startups. Attendance is free with accreditation, and the startup application deadline was 4 May 2026. The event runs from 08:30 to 16:15.
The TechMeeting runs on 16 June, the day before VivaTech's business programme opens, as one of the sector-focused professional formats that cluster around the show. Its B2B matchmaking design makes it a working session rather than a reception.
It is a sector-focused side event during the VivaTech week, on 16 June. It is run by Choose Paris Region with Systematic Paris-Region and is independent of VivaTech ticketing.
Invest Paris Region, the economic development team of Choose Paris Region, organises it, while the Cyber & Security Hub of the Systematic Paris-Region cluster convenes the cybersecurity content.
It is not designed for: the general public, since access is professional and accreditation-based; startups outside cybersecurity, given the sector focus; founders who missed the 4 May application deadline for the startup track; and attendees seeking an evening reception rather than a working matchmaking day.
The event is held at 18-20 Rue de Washington, in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, near the Champs-Elysees. The location is a working conference setting suited to roundtables and scheduled B2B meetings rather than a large-format show floor.
Choose Paris Region is the regional economic attractiveness agency for the Paris region, supporting foreign companies and investment. Systematic Paris-Region is a deeptech competitiveness cluster whose Cyber & Security Hub convenes this event. Together they position the TechMeeting as an open-innovation bridge between regional corporates and international security startups.
