An invitation-only premium evening co-hosted by XAnge and PSG Equity alongside VivaTech 2026. On 17 June, European scaleups, international investors and senior decision makers gather in a high-end Paris hotel for informal conversation away from the show floor.
Where Europe Scales is a private evening held on 17 June 2026, the first business day of VivaTech, in a high-end Paris hotel whose address is shared with guests. It is co-hosted by XAnge, a Paris-based early-stage venture capital firm, and PSG Equity, a growth equity firm. The evening brings together European scaleups, international investors and senior European decision makers for conversation that is deliberately more informal than the show floor.
The evening runs on the first business day of VivaTech (17 June), among the densest cluster of investor receptions of the week. It belongs to the rise of premium, curated formats around the show, where a growing share of the week's relational value moves into invitation-only events rather than the exhibition halls.
No public conference agenda or speaker roster is documented for the evening.
It is a side event of VivaTech 2026, scheduled on the evening of 17 June. It is independent of the show's ticketing and accessible by host invitation only.
Access is by direct invitation from XAnge and PSG Equity. There is no open public registration; the Luma page acts as an information and request point rather than a ticket.
It is not designed for: early-stage founders below scaleup maturity, given the growth focus; attendees seeking a conference programme, since the format is conversational; service providers or jobseekers using it as a lead channel, given the curated guest list; and anyone expecting open access, since attendance is invitation-only.
The evening is held in a high-end Paris hotel, with the exact address shared with confirmed guests rather than published. The hotel setting supports the premium, conversational positioning of the format. No further venue detail is publicly disclosed.
XAnge is a Paris-based early-stage venture capital firm with teams in Paris, Berlin and Brussels and a stated deeptech focus at European scale. PSG Equity is a growth equity firm that backs companies through build-ups across Europe. The co-hosting pairs early-stage and growth expertise, consistent with the evening's focus on scaling.
A curated, invitation-only format that captures the rise of premium evenings around VivaTech: less booth, more conversation between scaleups and European capital.
