VivaTech, the major European innovation event held at the Parc des Expositions in Paris, brought together nearly 180,000 participants, 14,000 startups, and 640,000 business connections in 2025 — a record that confirms its growing influence.
This year’s edition focused on Sustainability, Climate & Mobility, highlighting the strategic role of technology in the low-carbon transition.
A More Agile European Framework: a Key Opportunity for Climate Techs
During a strategic debate on the 28th European regime, DT Master Carbon reaffirmed its conviction: for Europe to become a global leader in cleantech and climate tech, regulatory frameworks must be simplified without compromising environmental ambition.
This roundtable, alongside political leaders and committed scale-ups (Pascal Canfin, Qonto, Sweep, Greenly, etc.), revealed key shared conclusions:
The urgent need for a clear, stable, and understandable framework to support innovation.
Europe’s unique opportunity to lead the way in climate solutions.
A strong demand for operational measurement tools, particularly in agriculture, where actors are facing increasing climate risks and rising expectations on scope 3 and biodiversity.
What this means for DT Master Carbon:
Strengthening our role as a trusted technology partner for climate and biodiversity data structuring.
Continuing to develop our platform to meet demand for localized impact measurement.
Deepening our European footprint while supporting the rise in regulatory expectations.
Europe and Asia: a Bridge to Build
Our presence at the China Pavilion confirmed growing interest among Asian — particularly Chinese — partners for European tools aligned with ESG and sustainability standards (CSRD, TNFD, etc.).
DT Master Carbon is positioning itself as a strong bridge between Asia and Europe, helping organizations navigate robust environmental compliance frameworks.
Agriculture in Focus at La Ferme Digitale
With mounting requirements around scope 3 and biodiversity, agricultural and agri-food players are now seeing these topics not as constraints but as strategic levers.
Our role: to support cooperatives and farmers with tools suited to their realities, enabling them to assess climate and ecological risks, build resilience, and enhance the value of their sustainable practices.
In Conclusion
Europe holds the keys to a successful transition.
Businesses are seeking actionable, accessible, and locally adapted tools.
AI paves the way for sustainable solutions but must be responsibly managed.
Europe-Asia dialogue is a strategic opportunity to accelerate implementation.
