NVIDIA’s Jensen Huang to deliver keynote at VivaTech Paris

Jensen Huang, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of NVIDIA, will deliver a keynote address at VivaTech in Paris in June, outlining the company's latest advances and vision in artificial intelligence.

The event, hosted at Porte de Versailles, Paris, from 11 to 14 June, will mark the ninth edition of VivaTech, recognised as the largest technology and startup gathering in Europe. Jensen Huang is set to speak on the Dome Stage on Wednesday, 11 June, focusing on NVIDIA's position within rapidly developing AI sectors, a central theme for this year's conference.

NVIDIA GTC Paris, described as the European edition of NVIDIA's primary AI conference, will run in parallel with VivaTech on 11 and 12 June. The GTC Paris programme will be integrated into the broader VivaTech experience, making its sessions, speakers, and innovations accessible to all participants attending the event.

The collaborations between NVIDIA and VivaTech have led event organisers to highlight Paris's growing importance on the global stage regarding AI and technological innovation. With over 4,000 partners involved, VivaTech intends for this year's edition to reinforce Paris's reputation as a core hub for European and global technology.

François Bitouzet, Managing Director of Viva Technology, commented: "VivaTech is extremely proud to have NVIDIA GTC Paris as part of this year's event, and that Jensen Huang, one of the most iconic figures in global tech, has chosen the VivaTech stage for what promises to be a memorable keynote. This collaboration with NVIDIA highlights the central role VivaTech now plays in the tech ecosystem. In June, Paris will be more than ever the epicenter of global tech."

The integration of NVIDIA GTC Paris within the VivaTech event is part of a wider strategy to bring together startups, established companies, investors, and technology leaders for in-depth discussions and knowledge-sharing across current topics, particularly artificial intelligence and accelerated computing.

Jaap Zuiderveld, Vice President EMEA at NVIDIA, said: "Europe's technology landscape is at a pivotal moment, with AI and accelerated computing driving innovation across every industry. VivaTech is at the heart of this evolution, bringing together visionaries, established business leaders and startups to deliver the solutions that will advance the continent and the world. Bringing GTC Paris to VivaTech will help connect Europe's brightest minds, forge new partnerships and help businesses unlock opportunities."

VivaTech's programme aims to address challenges faced by the technology sector in Europe and globally, offering a series of debates, keynotes, and demonstrations. According to the organisers, the event attracts significant attendance from both European and international stakeholders in technology and business.

NVIDIA, founded by Jensen Huang, has played a prominent role in developing and commercialising hardware and computing platforms used widely in artificial intelligence and accelerated computing fields. The company's presence at VivaTech, alongside the GTC Paris conference, is expected to concentrate on the latest NVIDIA product developments and partnerships relating to AI advancement.

The June events are expected to offer a platform for partnership-building and information exchange among participants, with a focus on digital transformation, the role of emerging technologies, and business opportunities within the European technology ecosystem.
