Paris, June 10, 2025
The 2025 edition of Viva Technology is already shaping up to be historic. On Wednesday, June 11 at 5:30 PM, at the iconic Dôme de Paris, French President Emmanuel Macron will join forces with Jensen Huang, Founder and CEO of NVIDIA, and Arthur Mensch, CEO of Mistral AI, for a unique, high-profile discussion on the future of artificial intelligence in Europe.
This groundbreaking session will address the strategic challenges and opportunities AI poses for Europe: increased investment, an adapted regulatory framework, and technological sovereignty in the face of market fragmentation. A crucial debate that will define the role of democratic values in the world’s second-largest economy.
