00:01I'm excited to be joined now by Alexi, who is our reporter on the ground at the entrance.
00:07Alexi, what can you tell us? Day 2, what's going on?
00:13Well, good morning. Good morning, Gabzin, and good morning to all our viewers.
00:18First of all, look at that. The sun is shining.
00:21Everyone's happy, everyone's smiling, and so many people, so many people coming in at the entrance just behind me.
00:27So it's such a pleasure to be back for Day 2 at VivaTech 2023.
00:32So that first day yesterday, I've seen so many things going on, as you mentioned, up to the traditional visit
00:40from the president of France, Emmanuel Macron.
00:44We've also seen, by the way, French Minister of Economy, Bruno Le Maire, going around the different alleys of VivaTech
00:522023.
00:52He stopped a little bit longer in the Normandy stand, of course, because it's where Bruno Le Maire is from
01:01in France.
01:02So one of the events of yesterday was also the unveiling of a brand new Renault car prototype called H
01:11-First Vision,
01:12a car that would be using a little bit of AI, artificial intelligence, as you said, was a major point
01:20of interest yesterday.
01:21And be sure that it's going to stay this way for the remaining days of VivaTech 2023.
01:27So the day two of VivaTech today will feature once again many speakers on the different stages in order to
01:35connect worldwide tech actors.
01:37We will follow the LVMH Innovation Awards once again happening at VivaTech this year.
01:44Eighteen startups have made it to the finals for the seventh edition of the awards.
01:51And Bernard Arnault, as you said, will be here at VivaTech and he will be here, of course, to announce
01:55the winner of this LVMH Innovation Awards.
01:59Talking about awards to follow, we will have the Africa Tech Awards today.
02:05It's going to be this afternoon and this promising awards will happen around the, I'm not sure about it,
02:13but it might be around stage one or the Africa Tech Hall.
02:17But yeah, it's going to be very interesting to follow this and be sure to take a little bit of
02:23time to attend the Africa Tech Awards this afternoon
02:26for the sports aficionados.
02:30I wanted to mention that the World Cup, sorry, World Cup winner Blaise Mathieu, French World Cup winner in 2018,
02:41will be here at VivaTech this year.
02:44He is a former player, of course, of Juventus Touring, but also Paris Saint-Germain, one of the biggest clubs
02:51in Europe right now.
02:52So Blaise Mathieu will be here on stage one at half past 12 for a session called Influence Meets Funding.
03:02So Blaise Mathieu will be speaking, especially of his transition from high-level athlete to being a huge investor,
03:12especially in the sports domain, jumping from men to women's football.
03:17One very interesting conference will be also focusing on Women's World Cup 2023.
03:23So many speakers, so many things going on and be sure to follow all of this with us today at
03:29VivaTech.
03:30Awesome, Alexei, thanks so much for that.
03:32Yeah, we have a lot of big guests and another big theme this year is sports tech.
03:37So, as Alexei mentioned, an entire hall dedicated to the future of sports, how sports and tech will intersect.
03:44So that's definitely an area not to be missed.
03:48All right, turning to luxury now.
03:50All right, thanks so much for joining us.
