In a context where French entrepreneurship reaches record levels, GO Entrepreneurs returns on April 15 and 16, 2026 at Paris La Défense Arena with a clear promise: to bring together, equip, and inspire those who undertake. Created in 1993 and renamed in 2021, the event has established itself as a must-attend for creators and business leaders. This 33rd edition aims to capitalize on this momentum with a motto: performance.
Over two days, more than 50,000 entrepreneurs are expected to seek concrete answers, expand their network, and accelerate their projects, in a format that combines conferences, meetings, and personalized support.
An event designed for performance This year, GO Entrepreneurs structures its entire edition around entrepreneurial performance. A deliberately broad concept that goes beyond financial indicators to include issues of innovation, impact, endurance, and resilience.
“To dare audacity and innovation, to seek sustainability and growth, to commit to values and responsibilities, to pursue a constant demand for quality, to know how to face and overcome obstacles, to disrupt and conquer a market, to create value and opportunities… In today’s society, the entrepreneur performs at all levels. This entrepreneurial performance is not just about numbers. It includes the quest for independence, growth, and profitability, as well as concepts of innovation, creativity, impact, agility, endurance, and resilience in the face of adversity. Entrepreneurship is a daily marathon, a constant quest for achievements, requiring multiple qualities, the best tools, and top-notch support. Between positive thinking, coaching, audacity, work ethic, resilience, taste for challenge, environmental awareness, AI, and other digital innovations, GO Entrepreneurs 2026 offers a perfect overview of trends, tools, and reflexes to embrace in order to PERFORM and achieve success,” explains William Jameux, Director of GO Entrepreneurs.
To embody this ambition, the program promises to be intense: 250 round tables and demonstrations, 30 thematic activities, and more than 16,500 individual consultations are planned.
Teddy Riner as a godfather and highlight For this edition, GO Entrepreneurs is surrounded by a godfather at the height of its theme: Teddy Riner. A symbol of discipline and resilience, the judoka will intervene on April 15 to share his journey and vision of performance, especially through his activities as an entrepreneur, acquirer, and investor.
A speech that promises to be one of the highlights of the event, facing an expected large audience.
A concentration of entrepreneurial ecosystem Beyond this iconic figure, GO Entrepreneurs 2026 will bring together more than 200 personalities from business, tech, media, and institutions. Among the first announced speakers: Jonathan Anguelov (Aircall), Frédéric Mazzella (BlaBlaCar), Justine Ryst (YouTube France), and Roxanne Varza (Station F).
With 300 partners, a wide range of experts, and free access, the event positions itself as a complete platform for entrepreneurship: finding funding, refining strategies, discovering new tools, and meeting the right people.
Located at Paris La Défense Arena, GO Entrepreneurs 2026 confirms its role as a key crossroads for those who want to take action or take their development to the next level.
