Innovation: What corporates haven't been told and must know in 2026 ?
In a context of geopolitical uncertainty and rapid technological transformation, how are large organizations adapting through innovation?
Join a group of top French, German, and US innovation leaders for an invitation-only roundtable at VivaTech, organized by Bpifrance Le Hub.
This exclusive session will compare approaches to driving innovation across regions and discuss what truly creates impact at scale.
At the core of the discussion, key insights from a brand new international, data-driven study on startup–corporate collaboration, highlighting:
- what works in practice
- what still slows partnerships down
- and how corporates can turn collaboration into real business value.
The roundtable will be followed by a 30-minute curated networking breakfast, offering informal peer-to-peer exchanges in the Tech Leaders Lounge by Wavestone.
Limited to 200 carefully selected corporate decision-makers, this session offers a rare opportunity to step back, gain an international perspective, and engage with peers facing similar innovation and partnership challenges.
Co-organized with VivaTech, the event will take place at the Executive Arena, the dedicated hub for corporate leaders.
A timely, high-level exchange for corporate leaders shaping the future of innovation and startup collaboration-globally.
IMPORTANT: You must have a VivaTech access badge to attend this event.
