Novable at VivaTech 2026
With over 180,000 attendees, 14,000 startups, 450+ speakers, all packed into four days at Porte de Versailles. The stakes and the energy are high. That leads to a problem.
Because when there are that many startups in one place, the challenge of finding innovation drops. The problem that rises is knowing which opportunities are worth yours and your team's time, which ones will be approved by CFO, and which ones will look exciting on day 1 yet go nowhere by September.
We've been attending VivaTech since 2023. Every year, we see the same pattern where innovation leaders arrive with genuine intent, walk tens of thousands of steps across multiple halls, and leave with a mix of promising leads and a growing sense that they missed something important. No one wants to have fomo when spending so much money, time and energy on a huge event like that. Despite the readiness of the innovation leaders, the event is simply too large to navigate on homework done without validation.
Traditional scouting at events like VivaTech amplifies familiar pain points, which can be either outdated data, or lack of validation on enterprise-readiness, limited time, or simply the density of options. Consultants are slow, and tech-only tools give you a list, not a verdict.
That's what we built EventScout to solve.
Before you set foot in Paris, we apply Novable's AI and human validation layer to the event itself. You get a shortlist of exhibitors that match your actual 2026 mandates, with stand numbers, company profiles, and a validation assessment so you arrive with a plan rather than a wishlist. It is the safety net that will remove the fomo, help you proceed with your professional goals and walk the halls with intention.
One of our clients from Fujitsu described the difference it made:
"The goal was to move away from the usual 40,000 steps of walking the entire fair, and instead focus only on targeted interactions with pre-identified prospects. Being able to identify relevant companies, find their stand numbers, and go directly to them was incredibly efficient. Some I would have eventually found the old way - others I would have completely missed. That's where the real value came through."
The difference isn't just efficiency, it's the startups you would have missed entirely, the ones that don't have the biggest booth or the loudest pitch, but are the most relevant to what your team is trying to solve, and we know that because we understand your context.
This year, we'll be at Hall 7.3, Booth 3H37 June 17-20 for our 4th consecutive edition.
If you're heading to VivaTech, come find us. No deck, no generic demo, just a focused conversation about your innovation priorities and whether Novable can help you act on them.
After a day of booths and back-to-back demos, join us for the Novable Connect Apéro on June 17 in Paris !
Novable Connect is usually our clients-only community, a space where corporate innovation leaders exchange ideas, benchmark challenges, and cut through the usual noise. For this VivaTech edition, we're bringing that spirit into the open.We’re extending the table to fellow innovation leaders, ecosystem builders, and the people we meet along the way. An evening to slow down, connect, and talk about the reality of driving innovation inside large organisations, the wins, the friction, and everything in between, with conversations free to go wherever they lead.
