ITER @ VivaTech2025
ITER was back again at Viva Technology—an annual conference in Paris that gathers startups, investors, decision-makers, executives, and media for an event focused on innovation. One of the highlights at the ITER stand this year? The visit of French Prime Minister François Bayrou.
VivaTech2025, held from 11-14 June, gave the floor to the types of technology and innovation that have the power to change the way we live. Themes like artificial intelligence, innovation in health and medicine, the future of work, cybersecurity, and quantum technologies were at centre stage. Fusion energy was represented as well, with both private and public initiatives attending.
ITER's Head of Communication Laban Coblentz took part in the panel discussion "AI, Nuclear, and the Quest for limitless (clean) energy." Before a packed audience, the panel discussed how nuclear— both fusion and fission—is becoming central to our energy future and how AI can shape and accelerate progress.
The 9th edition of VivaTech took place in Paris, Porte de Versailles, from 11 to 14 June. The event, under the theme of "The New Frontiers of Innovation," broke attendance records with more than 180,000 visitors and 14,000 startups. It was the third time ITER was represented.
