In the run-up to the fifth edition of Viva Technology, happening in Paris on June 11-13, the VivaTech team is on the road, hosting meetups in the world’s most vibrant startup hubs. This year we're partnering with Volkswagen We Space in Berlin, to explore how we can turn Europe into a unicorn factory?

The number of Europe-based IPOs, startups, and scaleups is on the rise, but 81% of global unicorns are still founded in either China or the USA.

European companies will have to pull together and make better use of their common tech ecosystem if they want to stay competitive in the global economy.

What can the European ecosystem do to offer European startups the same chances of success as their Chinese and American counterparts?

How can we turn Europe into a unicorn factory?

For this edition of the VivaTech Tour we'll be meeting and discussing with key players from the European tech ecosystem.
