Once again, Luxembourg will be represented at VivaTech by a 40m2 pavilion covered in national colors and organized jointly by the Chamber of Commerce, House of Startups (Host), the Ministry of Economy and Luxinnovation.
VivaTech is one of the continent’s main tech events. Its organizers have developed an original concept that brings together startups and multinationals in order to facilitate partnerships. For its fourth edition, the exhibition is expecting some 100,000 visitors. Luxembourg’s pavilion aims to highlight the entire local startup ecosystem and the many advantages it offers in terms of the internationalization of businesses.
It is with this in mind that eight startups were selected following a call for applications in March. Their selection was recently announced.
