VISIONNARY COFOUNDER M. LEVY, IS FULLY SATISFIED WITH SUCCESFUL VIVATECH FAIR & HAVING BRINGING ELON MUSK On the other hand, this year artificial intelligence was at the heart of the themes discussed on the stages of VivaTech, which has now become THE unmissable, the annual meeting devoted to technological innovation and start-ups created in 2016. he 2023 edition was marked by the arrival of Elon Musk, the boss of Tesla, SpaceX and Twitter, who rarely gives interviews. Maurice Levy did it and he tells us about it, during this candid conversation at VIVATECH Lounge, a stone's throw from the Dome where he interviewed Elon Musk, in front of four thousand guests. Here is the content of this exchange, with our correspondent from the United States Press Agency.

USPA QUESTION: Often the media compare VIVATECH with C.E.S, when it is not very comparable. What's your opinion ?

ANSWER MAURICE LEVY: It has nothing to do, C.E.S is a show like for the automobile, or all the major producers of innovation, like Samsung, etc., it's essentially that. at C.E.S, we are in Tech, Cold, machines. Here at Vivatech we are in the passion, the show, the human, and the creativity and the innovation. These elements are in the spotlight, so that start-ups work with large companies, that they meet investors, that innovations are brought to everyone's attention and that everything is shown and discussed. that. At the C.E.S, there are not the conferences that we have here, nor the presence of the general public and at the C.E.S there is not a big conference like the one here with Elon Musk. At the C.E.S, there are very good things, and it is very good that they exist and I have a lot of respect for what they have accomplished, but that has nothing to do with what we have wanted to do at Vivatech, which is the place of innovation, intelligence and passion.

USPA QUESTION: Can we say that it is a crossed specificity and the word VIVATECH, shares the word "living"?

ANSWER MAURICE LEVY: Absolutely, by the way the combination of "Viva" and "Tech" means Life, enthusiasm, celebration and Technology.
