Paris-Saclay Summit 2025 : a strategic meeting place for innovation and socio-economic transition

The Paris-Saclay Summit 2025 is a must-attend event for all those involved in innovation, research and entrepreneurship. Held at the heart of the Paris-Saclay ecosystem, one of Europe's largest science and technology clusters, this event highlights the essential collaboration between academia, innovative industries and public authorities. In a global context where the challenges of sustainability, digital transformation and attracting talent are crucial, the Paris-Saclay Summit aims to demonstrate that innovation is not only a response but also a driver of change.

With over 5,000 participants expected to attend, including researchers, entrepreneurs, students and decision-makers, this event offers a unique platform for discussing the major trends and solutions to be developed. Whether it's a question of the energy transition, health or sustainable mobility, the Summit aims to be both a laboratory of ideas and a space for concrete action, conducive to the creation of synergies. In line with the ambitions of the France 2030 plan, this event highlights the extent to which knowledge and technology are strategic levers for shaping a responsible future.
