Europe’s Gathering of Innovators and Leaders
Tech Show Paris, rooted in the dynamic ecosystem of French Tech and part of a European network of innovation events, brought together five major tech events under one roof:
This strategic combination not only showcased the strength of France’s tech industry but also reflected CloserStill Media’s commitment to fostering collaboration across European tech hubs. With over 6,200 attendees, 255 exhibitors, and 290 speakers, the event was a hub of energy, ideas, and innovation—cementing France’s and Europe’s position at the forefront of the digital revolution.
As I navigated the bustling exhibition halls, it was clear that this year’s event exceeded expectations. European and global tech leaders showcased solutions in cloud computing, cybersecurity, AI, and data management. A particularly memorable moment for me was learning about Paul Arthur Jonville and the team behind Mindflow, whose solutions for Microsoft Cloud users simplify the integration of advanced features. Mindflow is undoubtedly a company to watch for its potential to transform cloud computing. I also had the opportunity to speak with Kerstin Van Brakel, the female Country Manager of KATANA DIGITAL for Switzerland, who described their unique approach to data security: deploying trucks directly to offices for the physical elimination of sensitive data. These personal connections showcased the innovative spirit and diverse expertise that make European tech so dynamic, with French Tech at its core.

One of the most impactful sessions I attended was a panel discussion on inclusivity in tech, featuring trailblazing female leaders from Apple, Spotify, and Women at LinkedIn. Moderated by Caroline Ramade from 50inTech, the conversation delved into strategies for fostering diversity and equity across the European tech sector. This discussion reinforced the importance of inclusive leadership in driving innovation and creating more dynamic industries across Europe.
Collaboration was another prominent theme. The ‘Connect @ Tech Show Paris’ platform facilitated thousands of interactions, fostering partnerships among European professionals and organizations. This tool proved invaluable for networking and aligning shared goals within the continent’s tech ecosystem.

The keynote sessions further cemented Tech Show Paris as a focal point for European tech innovation. Joe Foster of NASA delivered an inspiring talk on staying at the forefront of technological advancements, emphasizing the global importance of Europe’s contributions to space and technology.
A standout panel explored the technological infrastructure supporting the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, hosted in Paris. This session highlighted how Paris and other European cities are leveraging technology to redefine global events, emphasizing the centrality of French Tech in this transformation.
Emerging European Tech Trends
Several key trends emerged during the event, underscoring the vital contributions of French Tech and European innovation in shaping the future of technology:
- AI and Data Integration: European companies showcased the integration of AI across industries, from customer engagement to predictive analytics, emphasizing their role in setting global standards.
