Europe’s largest tech and innovation event returns for its 10th edition this June, and Barcelona & Partners will be there — this time as a sponsor of one of the most anticipated side events of the week.
VivaTech 2026 takes place June 17–20 at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, bringing together over 150,000 attendees, 2,000+ startups, and global corporate leaders under one roof. For four days, Paris becomes the nerve centre of the global tech ecosystem — the place where deals are made, partnerships are born, and the cities and regions competing for tomorrow’s talent and investment make their case.
Why We Are at VivaTech
At Barcelona & Partners, our mission is clear: to attract innovative companies and transformative initiatives to Barcelona, contributing to the city’s long-term socio-economic development. That means going to where the world’s most ambitious founders, investors, and corporate decision-makers are — and VivaTech is exactly that place.
This year, we are proud to sponsor the Exclusive VivaTech Side Event, a curated gathering that brings together a select group of international tech leaders, investors, and ecosystem builders beyond the main show floor. Events like this are where the most meaningful conversations happen — away from the noise, with the right people in the room.
Barcelona Is Ready for the World
The timing could not be better. Barcelona has firmly established itself as one of Europe’s leading tech destinations. The city is home to a world-class talent pool, a thriving deep-tech and life sciences ecosystem, and a quality of life that consistently attracts global companies looking to build in Europe.
Our work at Barcelona & Partners reflects this momentum:
- 43+ international companies attracted to Barcelona since 2021
- More than €1.7 billion in investment generated
- Over 4,500 highly qualified jobs created in the city
At VivaTech, we are not just attending — we are making the case for Barcelona as the place to build, scale, and invest in Europe.
