A look back at day one of VivaTech 2026 with Wavestone, from our Tech Leaders Lounge.
A cyber-focused morning, AI agents running live demos all afternoon, and the 2026 Femtech Barometer to close. Day one packed a lot in.
Hand an AI agent your most complex tasks in plain, natural language, and keep your focus on the work only you can do. That’s Copilot Cowork, and we love showing it.
Julien Floch demos it in our Tech Leaders Lounge, showing what a workday looks like when the busywork runs itself.
Live from our Cyber Morning at VivaTech 2026, Gerome Billois in our Tech Leaders Lounge on how to keep AI an ally and not your biggest security risk: human oversight, clear rules, protected data, regular audits.
