Academic Partnership with VivaTech 2026
As VivaTech academic partner, Young AI Leaders Austria offers 100 free tickets for Austrian students to Paris.
Young AI Leaders Austria announced an official Academic Partnership with VivaTech 2026—Europe’s major tech and startup event in Paris—from 17–20 June, with Andreas Patuzzi organising the opportunity as student ambassador.
What happened
As partner, the hub offered 100 free tickets to Austrian students (Bachelor, Master, PhD, or equivalent). VivaTech draws on the order of 180,000 attendees, 14,000 startups, 3,600 investors, and 4,000 partners. A fast-track path reserved guaranteed tickets for the first 30 students who applied and amplified the call. Additional free attendee tickets targeted Tech for Good changemakers—teachers, researchers, NGOs, impact startups, and YAIL partners.
Student applications opened via a short form: luma.com/zkp6kxuk.
Why it matters
Access to Europe’s largest tech stage should not depend only on personal networks. The partnership puts Austrian student and impact talent in the same rooms as global innovators—and showcases what the Austrian scene can bring to Paris.
