More than just a meetings venue, the Hacking de l’Hôtel de Ville lets startups leverage new contacts and build partnerships with major corporates, find new clients and potential investors in the framework of its StartUp MeetUp event.  

 

In addition to new business opportunities, the demo space – which showcased 24 projects this year - unveiled landmark innovations that are disrupting the usages and practices of tomorrow. These included innovations from public research facilities, but also visual and experimental solutions from the mobility, food and creative industries. These solutions bring us new perspectives on how to make technical, technological and social accessible to all.

 

The Hacking de l’Hôtel de Ville is also a great way to learn more about what’s trending in the ecosystem, with several collaborative workshops and round tables.
