BXVentures at VivaTech 2025 – Building Bridges Between Innovation and Industry

BXVentures was proud to take part in VivaTech 2025, one of the world’s leading events for innovation and emerging technologies. With over 180,000 visitors, 14,000 startups, and a strong international presence, this year’s edition clearly showed how fast the innovation ecosystem is moving, especially around climate solutions.

Why engaging with industry matters

At BXVentures, we build deeptech startups that aim to decarbonize heavy industries and accelerate the energy transition. But innovation, no matter how advanced, only creates impact if it is implemented at scale, and that means working hand-in-hand with industrial partners.

Events like VivaTech are key because they bring together all the right stakeholders: startups, researchers, corporate leaders, and investors. This creates a rare space where early-stage ventures can have direct conversations with the industrial players who will ultimately deploy their solutions.

These exchanges are essential to:

• Understand real-world operational constraints and needs
• Make sure startups are building solutions that match industry expectations
• Reduce time-to-market through early feedback and alignment
• Build trust and momentum for future partnerships

Energy and motivation for everyone involved

Beyond business, these events also carry a human value. For founders, engineers, and teams working hard to bring new solutions to life, VivaTech offers a strong morale boost. It’s an opportunity to see the growing interest in climate tech, meet like-minded innovators, and feel part of a larger movement.

The same is true for industrial players. Engaging with young ventures brings fresh energy and new perspectives. It reinforces a shared belief: that innovation and decarbonization are not only compatible, but inseparable.

Looking ahead

We leave VivaTech 2025 energized by the quality of the discussions and the clarity of purpose we saw across the ecosystem. Decarbonizing the global economy is a complex challenge, but one that can be tackled with the right mix of talent, innovation, and collaboration.

At BXVentures, we’re more committed than ever to building that bridge between science, startups, and industry.
