Addressing the gathering of tech-entrepreneurs, start-ups, investors and business leaders, Prime Minister highlighted India’s vision for a human-centric AI and frontier technologies, and the growing expanse of India–France cooperation in emerging technologies. He noted that technology had enabled transformative changes in India, from digital payments, AI enabled agricultural progress to cutting-edge space applications. Following the keynote address, Prime Minister Modi and President Macron interacted with Indian start-ups and innovators displaying frontier technologies and practical solutions for industry, healthcare, sustainability, and mobility.

India is the AI Country Partner in VivaTech 2026. This is also India’s largest ever presence at VivaTech with pavilions set up to showcase its innovation ecosystem across Artificial Intelligence, digital public infrastructure, health-tech, clean technologies, mobility, advanced computing, etc. Over 80 Indian deep-tech companies and start-ups are participating in the event.

Prime Minister’s participation at VivaTech is expected to further deepen partnerships between Indian and French technology ecosystems. India has had a growing engagement with VivaTech over the years: Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi delivered the keynote address at VivaTech in 2021; India was the first Country of the Year at VivaTech in 2022; and VivaTech has recently formalized collaboration with the Bengaluru Tech Summit. This year’s participation by India assumes significance as the two countries are celebrating 2026 as the India–France Year of Innovation.
