Japan Shines as Country of the Year at VivaTech 2024 !

From May 22 to 25, Paris was abuzz with innovation and inspiration at VivaTechnology, Europe's premier start-up and tech event. This year, Japan proudly took center stage, being honored as the Country of the Year for 2024.

In collaboration with the CCI Paris Ile-de-France and CCI Hauts-de-France, the CCI France Japon orchestrated B2B meetings program. This initiative allowed eight Japanese start-ups to connect and collaborate with their French counterparts, fostering exciting new partnerships and innovations.

On the eve of the show, the 21st of May, the ‘Japan Official Ecosystem Meet Up Night’ was held at the Japanese Ambassador's Residence. This prestigious event, built in collaboration with METI, JETRO, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, set the stage for meaningful exchanges and future collaborations.

In the event, ecosystem players in Tokyo showcased TIB (Tokyo Innovation Base), which acts as a global node of innovation where diverse individuals connect and support innovators. Additionally, they introduced SusHi Tech Tokyo (Sustainable High City Tech Tokyo), a tech event that aims to develop technology to tackle various urban challenges.

Stay tuned as Japan continues to lead the way in technological advancements and innovative solutions !
