From June 17 to 20, 2026, at Paris Porte de Versailles, Viva Technology is an annual event dedicated to technological innovation and start-ups created in 2016. As the largest European innovation and start-up fair, it provides a national, and even international, platform for participating companies.
In celebration of the 10-year anniversary of the event, Normandy will be strongly represented with a delegation of 19 companies.
Making our start-ups more visible
The collective We Are Normandy, which aims to promote innovation and start-ups from the Normandy region on the international stage, has just unveiled the 19 start-ups that will be part of the 2026 adventure and embody the major shifts in tech: sovereign AI, automation, smart industry, and impact solutions. Among them, there is one from Manche.
Octo’System, founded in 2021, is a green tech start-up from Granville involved in intelligent management of infrastructures, a significant challenge for local authorities and industrial sites.
“Octo’System develops a platform that centralizes and automates the management of sensors and equipment in the field. The solution enables local authorities, businesses, and site managers to monitor their infrastructures, understand their data, and act more quickly.” – We Are Normandy
The Parisian event should be a great opportunity for the Manche company to strengthen its visibility and support its development. “We want Normandy companies to benefit from the strength of the We Are Normandy collective because we are much stronger together, and each year more visible,” said Marc Maouche, co-president of Normandie Numérique, who brings together all the digital players (companies, clients, higher education institutions, and local authorities).
“Participating as a Normandy delegation at this global innovation fair opens doors every year for Normandy gems to strategic encounters with future partners, prospects, or investors. It is a unique opportunity for them to initiate high-quality leads and stand out from their competitors.”
