00:00Now straight to the Vivatech floor now and see what our reporter Alexis Lallemont is up to.
00:06Alexis, where are you and what do you have for us?
00:11Hi Thomas, well I'm right now next to the Peach studio which is well very close to stage one actually
00:18and this is one of the iconic places of Vivatech, so why that?
00:23Because it's a place basically where startups and investors as well meet with each other
00:31and so right now as you can see maybe Ingrion will be able, my camera operator will be able to
00:35show you
00:36that we have someone right now talking on the stage. It's like this all day long, just so you know
00:43within the three days on B2B, Vivatech we have more than a hundred startups pitching their solutions
00:50sorry, down here. In a couple of words as well, Pitch contests have been you know a core part of
00:57Vivatechnologies DNA showcasing our open innovation mechanism that connects startups with industry
01:05leaders, corporates, ecosystems and of course institutional entities. So just so you know we
01:12also have three countries this year for Vivatech 2023 who host pitch sessions. So those countries
01:20this year we have Ireland, we have Taiwan and finally we have Portugal. So startups are basically pitching
01:29some of the most disruptive solutions coming from each of these countries. So to be honest with you
01:37I was supposed to be having one guest with me. It's Peter Hopwood. He is the host of the Pitch
01:45Studio
01:46and he's doing incredibly great at every time because we're talking with each other and he goes on stage
01:52make the transition and get back over here and talk to me. It's crazy but right now currently Pitch Studio
01:58is
01:59a little bit late this afternoon so unfortunately I'm not sure I'll be able to make an interview with him
02:05because like he has a very short break after that. Just so you know that's it. The Pitch Studio will
02:11happen on those three days of Vivatech and I guess that this is the best place especially for
02:18investors to come down here and to find startups that are in the main point of interest and in which
02:26they
02:26can invest their you know their funds in order to make those startups rise and make them I don't
02:33know maybe make them a unicorn at some point but first of all make them evolve and seeing them
02:40being spread over the world. So yeah that's it. This is the Pitch Studio and now just getting back to
02:47you Thomas and we'll be back for more during the afternoon. Thank you Alexi. Thank you so much and
02:52we'll talk again soon of course with new updates from you and from our other reporter on the floor.
