It’s time to reconnect

Innovations and experiences

The projects of the future are closer than ever before – right at our fingertips! This year at Viva Technology we are bringing the best innovations from all over the world right to our visitors’ hands – and screens – with new ways to encounter and experience the latest tech trends that not only provide exciting solutions, but that respond to issues in our society in inventive and ambitious ways.

2022 Conference tracks

Scaling Up

How do successful startups manage and sustain impressive growth? How can impact-driven strategies lead to profitability? When and why should founders leave their company? What are the exit strategies? Together with startup and scaleup CEOs, investors or experts from around the world, we explore the trends, opportunities and markets to watch.

Mobility

How will we move through tomorrow’s urban and rural landscapes? Is a carless city possible? Will robots take over our supply chains? As successive lockdowns, remote work and increasing urbanization reveal the depth of our interconnectedness, we explore the opportunities and challenges of the future of mobility.

Race to Net Zero

We’re running late. According to the UN, the years between 2015 to 2020 were likely to be the warmest on record, and as we move further into a new decade, the trend is not improving. Technology has a major role to play if we are to limit our impact on climate and the environment. From the solutions we use to generate, store and distribute energy, to the economic models we put in place to make the best use of finite resources, we look at the innovations helping us pick up the pace towards carbon neutrality and a more circular economy.

Metaverse

Major tech companies and investors are racing to develop a crossover between the real and the virtual worlds, betting that this space will revolutionize how we access and use the internet. But how does the metaverse really unlock value and for whom? How can it help us better navigate daily life while improving our experience of the digital world?

And many more…
