VivaTech 2026 - Day 1, it’s a wrap.
We’ll leave you with a handful of photos.
On our side, we walk away with something else: meetings, debates (sometimes very lively) and a great deal of enthusiasm around digital sovereignty, AI and open source. You were many who came to see us at the Digital Sovereignty Village, discovered our solutions, asked your questions and shared your projects!
This first day was also marked by the interventions of our President Alexandre Zapolsky and our Chief‑Executive Officer Michel‑Marie Maudet.
Two different speeches, but a single conviction: alternatives exist, they are already here, and it is time to give them their full place.
On the NVIDIA stage, Michel‑Marie highlighted the road travelled:
"𝘐𝘯 𝟤𝟢𝟤𝟥, 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘭𝘺 𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘯-𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘤𝘦 𝘈𝘐 𝘮𝘰𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘴, 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘯-𝘸𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘮𝘰𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘴 , 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘯 𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘢𝘴𝘦𝘵𝘴 𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘻𝘺 𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘢. 𝘛𝘰𝘥𝘢𝘺, 𝘪𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘤 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥'𝘴 𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘈𝘐 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘦𝘳𝘴"
Before sharing the vision we champion at LINAGORA:
"𝘖𝘶𝘳 𝘨𝘰𝘢𝘭 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥 𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘮𝘰𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘴, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘴𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘳 𝘮𝘰𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘤 𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘴𝘦𝘴, 𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘷𝘢𝘭𝘶𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘶𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘴"
Because the future of AI will not be decided solely by the raw power of models, but also by our ability to create open technologies that are tailored to our needs and respectful of our choices.
And this is only the beginning - see you tomorrow for the next chapter.
