A look back at the participation of startups from the Carnot TSN institute at Viva Technology 2024

Record-breaking effervescence

Bruno Le Maire, the French Minister of the Economy, and Marina Ferrari, the French Secretary of State for the Digital Economy, were both present at this 2024 edition of French Tech. The Paris show was an opportunity to celebrate the buzz around AI in France, to take stock of the "Je choisis la French Tech" initiative almost a year after its launch, and to congratulate the new winners of the Next 40 and the French Tech 120.

Artificial intelligence (AI) was undeniably the star of this year's event, permeating virtually every field of tech. AI giants such as Anthropic, which had a space on the AWS stand, and Mistral AI, with Arthur Mensch speaking, presented their latest advances and visions. The omnipresence of AI was reflected in the figures, with almost 37% of partners offering solutions based on this technology.

Institut Mines-Télécom, which runs the Carnot TSN institute, was also present, and gave 4 of its startups the opportunity toexhibit their innovative solutions: Comin, Gare ta bécane, Gobi App and Monelectrobox.

In terms of figures, the show's organizers have announced a total of 165,000 visitors from 120 countries, 13,500 startups, around 350 exhibitors and 400 speakers, and 2,000 investors for 2024. A total of 40 regions and national pavilions were present, with Japan in the spotlight, reflecting an international ecosystem.
