Kick off VivaTech Paris 2026 with Yorkseed's intimate Opening Night Soirée — an evening bringing together founders, investors, operators, creators, and ecosystem leaders from across the global innovation community.
Hosted by Yorkseed, this opening night gathering is designed for meaningful conversations, new connections, and cross-border relationships ahead of one of the biggest weeks in technology and venture.
Set in Paris during VivaTech week, the evening brings together a curated mix of international attendees across AI, fintech, enterprise, consumer, climate, deep tech, and emerging innovation sectors.
Whether you are in Paris for fundraising, partnerships, expansion, investing, or simply meeting great people during VivaTech, this is the room (with AC) to start the week.
The right rooms. The right people. The right tools — for every step of the journey, including the ones you have not thought about yet.
💡 Pro tip: If you have your VivaTech badge, bring it with you — it's a great conversation starter with fellow attendees.
