VivaTech's free open-air public day on the Avenue des Champs-Élysées, on 14 June 2026 from 12:00 to 18:00 in Paris. Organised by VivaTech for its 10th anniversary, it opens the technology week to the general public across eight immersive themed spaces, before the trade show opens at Porte de Versailles.
VivaTech on the Champs-Élysées is a free open-air public technology event held on 14 June 2026, from 12:00 to 18:00, on the Avenue des Champs-Élysées in Paris. Organised by VivaTech to mark its 10th anniversary, it opens the technology week to the general public, from Parisian locals to international visitors, across eight immersive themed spaces, ahead of the trade show at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles.
The avenue is given over to an open-air technology experience across eight themed spaces: Tomorrow's Cities, Impact, Wellbeing, Robotics and Space, AI, Job and Education, a Tech Agora, and Entertainment. The format mixes innovation demonstrations and brand booths, framed as a celebration open to people of all backgrounds. VivaTech describes it as a large open-air technology experience expecting a high volume of visitors in a single day.
The public day runs on 14 June, three days before the trade show opens at Porte de Versailles on 17 June. It functions as the consumer-facing and outreach opening of the VivaTech week, distinct from the professional, ticketed halls and from the off-floor breakfasts and receptions that surround them.
It is VivaTech's official free public event, organised by VivaTech itself, opening the technology week to the general public three days before the professional show at Porte de Versailles. It is separate from the ticketed trade halls.
VivaTech, the technology and startup event founded by Publicis Groupe and Les Echos, as part of its 10th anniversary programme.
It is not designed for: professionals seeking the ticketed trade halls and curated investor meetings, which take place at Porte de Versailles; those wanting a closed business format, as this is an open public day; attendees expecting deal-making and matchmaking rather than public demonstrations; and anyone looking for the conference stage programme of the main show.
The event takes over the Avenue des Champs-Élysées as an open-air setting in central Paris, an accessible public location distinct from the exhibition halls of Porte de Versailles.
VivaTech is one of Europe's large annual technology and startup events, founded by Publicis Groupe and the Les Echos group, held each June in Paris. The Champs-Élysées public day is part of its 10th anniversary programme in 2026.
