We are thrilled to share some highlights from the past four incredible days, during which SCALE AI had the honour of actively participating in this outstanding edition of Viva Technology. Our participation was marked by exciting exchanges, enriching encounters, and discussions on technological advancements that will shape the future. A big thank you to the over 160 Canadian AI delegates for their presence and participation at the Canada Pavilion.
Reflecting on the Delegation’s Journey
The adventure began with the Canadian AI delegation being convened for a meet and network session at the Embassy of Canada in France | Canadian Embassy in France in Paris, along with the team from the Trade Commission Service. This face-to-face meeting was an opportunity for the 60 Canadian companies in the delegation to share their realities and objectives, and to learn more about the journey of some members of the mission to stimulate demand for Canadian AI both domestically and internationally.
The SCALE AI team inaugurated the Canada Pavilion in Hall 2 of VivaTech alongside over 160 Canadian AI delegates. A sense of pride emanated from the team after assembling a record delegation that wonderfully represents Canadian AI expertise.
On the second day, our CEO Julien Billot had the honor of leading an engaging panel on Canadian AI with the participation of Romain Huet from Open AI and Hugues Fotz from Vooban at the Business France booth. It was an incredible opportunity to share innovative ideas and discuss future trends in our sector.
The third day provided an opportunity to conclude the mission and reflect on the successes of the past few days. It was also a significant moment with the visit of the French Minister of Digital Affairs, Mrs. Ferrari, to the Canada Pavilion. Her presence underscored the importance of Franco-Canadian collaborations in the digital and AI sectors.
The three days concluded with evenings hosted by the Canadian embassy at the official Canadian residence in France. Our delegates and the SCALE AI team had the opportunity to interact with industry leaders in France to strengthen existing collaborations between our two countries and develop new business opportunities.
To conclude, SCALE AI was delighted to host the Ambassador of Canada to France, Stéphane Dion, at the Canada Pavilion during the Viva Technology event. His visit was an opportunity for Julien Billot, CEO of Scale AI, and several local companies to showcase Canadian innovation and technological excellence.
