VivaTech 2021: Reconnecting with tech in a more sustainable and inclusive way

TECH 24 © FRANCE 24

For this special edition of the show, we're at the VivaTech trade fair in Paris, the biggest European startup and tech event. Julia Sieger asks VivaTech Managing Director Julie Ranty how the tech world is preparing for the post-Covid 19 rebound. We also take a look at some of the most promising biotech inventions. And Peter O'Brien shows us the latest digital and Virtual Reality trends.

This year and in the wake of Covid-19, VivaTech launched a hybrid edition, with a blend of online and in-person participation for an augmented event experience.

In the midst of Covid-19, one key trend is the use of more sustainable forms of innovation. The best way to do this is to draw inspiration from nature, which showcases the most robust and intelligent systems possible, since they are the result of nearly 4 billion years of evolution.

Plus, in Test 24, Peter O'Brien gives us a glimpse of the future, from robots to assisted surgery.
