” CloserStill Senior Portfolio Director, Tech Europe, Simon Press likens it to “a melting pot” where leaders from different industries can share share their expertise and learn from their peers operating with different approaches. From the point of view of exhibiting brands, they contend that a major benefit is that the attendees have “the right tech purchasing ability.” Event highlights include a dedicated AI theater, focused variously on customer experience, strategic investment, democratization, legislation, confidence building within the workforce, sustainability and and diverse and inclusive leadership.

It’s a no brainer says Ballu, emphasizing the importance of tech to the French economy.
She described how France has already exceeded its President, Emmanuel Macron’s 2025 target of 25,000 tech unicorns—by five thousand and counting—creating some 1.1 million jobs in the process. “Start-ups are the pillars of the future of tech,” she said, citing BlaBlaCar, the French founded ride-sharing platform launched in 2013 valued at $2 billion in 2021.
“It grew from start-up to a massive company.” However she also acknowledged the need to push visibility where more recent start-ups are concerned giving them the best opportunity to showcase their solutions, enhance the visibility within a targeted community and secure their next investment round. Press agrees: “Lots of events have the start up area tucked away which is why we’re putting it right in the centre of the space.
” Other key focuses are diversity and inclusion and how AI innovations themselves can make the sector more accessible. The show is partnering with organizations such as WomeninAI and Women4Cyber via an initiative featuring panel discussions with industry leaders and interactive networking session to address broader representation. Delivering further ROI for the attendees and exhibitors alike is a pre-event matchmaking service for exhibitors and attendees while the platform also offers a concierge service scheduling appointments with tech providers alongside suggesting content sessions according to pain points outlined during the registration process.
