BFM Business and Tech&Co will broadcast Elon Musk’s visit to VivaTech

The arrival of Elon Musk at VivaTech promises to be the highlight of the show. Friday June 16, the owner of Tesla, SpaceX and Twitter will be present in Paris to discuss with Maurice Lévy, the chairman of the supervisory board of Publicis and co-organizer of VivaTech.

Elon Musk’s round table will be broadcast on the BFM Business and Tech&Co channels. The billionaire entrepreneur should address the topics of “technology and innovation”, according to the program of the show.

For Maurice Lévy, the objective of the discussion will be that the businessman “explains himself regarding his choices”, he detailed on the set of Good Morning Business this Wednesday morning.

“I’ll try to get him to share his experience and tell us things. I’m not looking for a scoop, I’m looking for an explanation.”

Franky Zapata presents Z-Air, his flying scooter

Inventor Franky Zapata unveiled his latest creation at VivaTech. He presented Z-Air, his flying scooter, as a world exclusive. Franky Zapata’s goal with this new flying machine is to democratize access to air travel by making it accessible to the general public.

Designed to accommodate a single passenger, the vehicle is equipped with 12 motors: 8 electric and 4 thermal. The maximum expected speed is 100 km/h at an altitude of 3000 to 4000 meters.

TAG Heuer unveils a connected watch to better play golf

The LVMH group has the largest stand at the VivaTech show. It welcomes the watch brand TAG Heuer, which unveils a connected watch dedicated to sport during the event.

The TAG Heuer device collects data during its user’s rounds of golf. He is thus able to anticipate the player’s future moves and offer him the most suitable clubs.

The health of the future is unveiled at VivaTech

In Culture Geek, Anthony Morel has selected three companies present at VivaTech in the field of health.

First, Poietis is able to reconstruct the texture and structure of the skin on the principle of 3D printing. The Bordeaux company aims to install its machine in hospitals in order to allow on-demand printing of skin, especially for severe burns, rather than performing grafts.

Then, Miroki looks like a robot from a video game. Mounted on a sphere, he wants to be an assistant for hospitals. Mounted on a sphere to move, the robot is able to push a cart, transport drugs or medical equipment. All while accompanying patients in the corridors.

Finally, echOpen wants to revolutionize ultrasounds. This small device promises to replace cumbersome ultrasound machines to make this clinical examination accessible to attending physicians, directly in their offices.

It is possible to chat with the artist van Gogh animated by artificial intelligence

At the show, Jumbo Mana will stage the painter Vincent van Gogh. The company has integrated an avatar of the Dutch artist into a terminal. It is animated by artificial intelligence and will thus be able to answer visitors’ questions.

“He has his own AI. It’s really him who, through his personality, will tell us regarding his life and his works”, details Christophe Renaudineau, the founder of Jumbo Mana.

“There are many areas in which France can take the lead”

VivaTech will bring together more than 10,000 start-ups, particularly in the field of artificial intelligence. But what is the place of France? “There are many areas in which France can take the lead”, says Maurice Lévy on BFM Business.

“There are still a lot of possibilities and we must not believe that the chips are down”, says Maurice Lévy.

“It’s true that we had the start-up winter, but it’s largely passed” and “it’s gradually picking up”, he continues, assuring that we were going to “find the funding”.

Elon Musk expected on Friday

The owner of Tesle, SpaceX and since October of Twitter will walk the aisles of the show this Friday, June 16 from 4 p.m.

Elon Musk has reserved the Paris dome for a much-awaited speech for the 4,000 people expected on site.

It is Maurice Lévy, the chairman of the publicis supervisory board and co-organizer of the show who will give him the answer.

Vivatech “is an inspiring event” for “those who want to undertake”

Vivatech “is an event that aims to be inspiring” for “all those who want to undertake or understand what is happening in the world of tomorrow”, says Maurice Lévy, chairman of the supervisory board of Publicis and co-organizer of the living room on BFM Business.

“There will be a lot of innovations” with “young start-ups”, but also “well-established companies” like Orange or the SNCF.

Emmanuel Macron present from this Wednesday

From this Wednesday, June 14, and until the general public day on Saturday, June 17, VivaTech will welcome more than 2,200 exhibitors and expect more than 10,000 business representatives.

This first day will be marked by the presence of Emmanuel Macron. Like every year, the President of the Republic will visit the show to meet entrepreneurs.

The highlight of this Wednesday will be held at 5 p.m. The Head of State will give a speech on artificial intelligence and innovation.

“It is important” that Elon Musk “be able to explain his choices”

Elon Musk invites himself to Vivatech: the boss of Tesla, SpaceX and Twitter will take part in a round table “on technology and innovation”. Elon Musk “already knew Vivatech”, underlines Maurice Lévy, chairman of the supervisory board of Publicis and co-organizer of the show, on BFM Business.

“It seemed important to me that a personality like him, who is also quite controversial, be able to explain his options, his choices, and discuss what he has achieved, because he has achieved extraordinary things”, suggests Maurice Lévy, who will lead the round table.

“I’m going to try to get him to share his experience and tell us things. I’m not looking for a scoop, I’m looking for an explanation,” he says.

An edition under the sign of AI

For its seventh edition, the VivaTech show promises to give pride of place to artificial intelligence.

A real revolution since the launch of ChatGPT, AI generation is overturning the codes of writing, visual creation, and is now attacking audio. Even Paul McCartney, the iconic member of the Beatles, has tried it.
