For its first edition, the Vivatechnology Paris exposition marked the minds (impressed) of the participants because no one expected to see so many innovations and innovators altogether. It was a total surprise because the result exceeded the expectations. The future was not a hypothetical vision anymore, but a visible and concrete reality for everyone.
The second edition, held in 2017 did not depart from the rule, and it can be qualified as huge at the point of becoming undeniable on the European and worldwide scale and at the point of being acknowledged by the worldwide media because the statistics of this event are speaking for themselves:
- 68 000 visitors
- 6000 startups
- 1400 investors
- 50 exposing countries
It was the occasion for Startup.live 24H00.info and especially for the Founder Family to cover the event for the second consecutive year. From futuristic drones to children learning the code, a new living language, the wonder took place at 360 degrees in 3 days.
On this theme, the startup Play’n’Code had the idea to allow children to code a game while playing. You can learn how to code by ludification. See for yourselves.

Here the innovation concerns everybody.

We can also add a gigantic Hackathon that talks about itself.
