Why Wavestone
at VivaTech

As Germany is honored as Country of the Year for VivaTech’s 10th edition, this year’s event holds particular meaning for us. It reflects our own Franco-German journey, following the merger of two leading French and German consulting firms in 2024 and the transition to a German-led management team this year.

This year, AI will be everywhere. VivaTech is therefore the right moment for us to share a clear conviction: AI only creates value when it is designed, governed and deployed by humans, for humans.

At VivaTech 2026, we bring hands‑on expertise in AI, cybersecurity and digital trust to help executives scale AI safely and pragmatically through trend talks, executive journeys, and a dedicated space for clients & Tech Leaders.

Our focus at VivaTech 2026

Where real‑world AI meets execution

At VivaTech, every exchange we lead is driven by a single ambition: moving from AI intent to AI impact. Beyond demos and proof-of-concepts, we focus on what it truly takes to industrialize AI: scaling safely, governing responsibly, and creating measurable value in real operational environments. Across talks, executive journeys, and expert exchanges, we focus on the capabilities organizations need to scale AI with trust, resilience, and measurable impact.

Core topics we’ll be exploring include:

  • Agentic AI and autonomous systems in real enterprise workflows
  • AI governance, sovereignty, and responsible AI with human-in-the-loop design
  • AI engineering, MLOps, and observability to industrialize AI systems
  • Cyber resilience, security, and Zero Trust in AI-driven environments
  • Data platforms and real-time intelligence for scalable AI use cases
  • Cloud, hybrid, and sovereign infrastructures for AI at scale
  • Industrializing AI from pilots to enterprise-wide deployment
