Hong Kong offers deep connectivity, globally fluent talent, as well as trusted legal and financial systems. The ground-breaking technology on show at VivaTech this year highlight the immense potential from connecting global innovation, with Hong Kong serving as an ideal base for innovators with aspirations and ambitions."

France has made clear on its desire to drive a new era of innovation-powered growth with AI unicorns leading a global charge; while Hong Kong consistently ranked second globally in the Global Innovation Index by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). This landmark delegation to VivaTech is enabling the convergence of two fast-rising world-class I&T ecosystems in Hong Kong and France.
