Getting Inspired, Networking and Looking Ahead at VivaTech
At the event, students were unanimous in their feedback:VivaTech is an exceptional source of inspiration.From demonstrations of robots designed to support children with autism, to discussions with passionate entrepreneurs and presentations of forward-thinking projects, EFAP students were able to combine personal curiosity with professional reflection.

Beyond the sense of discovery, networking was also at the heart of the experience. For many students, these interactions with industry professionals opened up concrete opportunities:meeting recruiters,exchanging business cards,discussing market trends…
