Tech events in paris

The annual Forum TERATEC — two days of conference sessions and an exhibition at the Palais des Congrès covering high-performance computing, numerical simulation, AI and quantum. It has run for more than twenty years and pulls roughly 2,000 decision-makers from aeronautics, defence, energy, logistics, health and finance, alongside the HPC and simulation community that serves them. Registration and entry are free for both days, from 09:00. Why go: one of the few French rooms where the industrial users of large-scale compute and the people who build the machines are in the same building, talking about the same workloads. If you are sizing simulation or AI infrastructure for a serious industrial problem, the conversations here are far more concrete than anything at a general AI conference. Best for CTOs, research-computing leads and infrastructure architects.

A full day on STATION F's Open Platform for the French greentech community — climate and environmental technology startups, the funds backing them, and the public bodies and industrial partners they sell to. The programme mixes pitch sessions from the Greentech Innovation cohort, panels on financing hardware-heavy climate businesses, and structured meetings between startups and corporate buyers. Free, from 09:00, run by Greentech Innovation at 5 parvis Alan Turing in the 13th. Why go: climate tech normally gets a track inside somebody else's conference. Here it gets the whole room, and the structured corporate-buyer meetings are the part that moves deals rather than just collects contacts. Best for climate and energy founders raising or selling, investors with a green mandate, and corporate sustainability or procurement leads looking for suppliers.

Stripe Startups runs a working day for founders in Paris: bring what you are building and get on with it alongside a curated group of venture-backed founders, with Stripe engineers on hand when an integration goes sideways. The agenda mixes coworking with a fireside chat, product demos including Metronome, and office hours from the Stripe Billing team on pricing and packaging models. One-to-one consultations on Stripe strategy can be booked on the day. The team will also walk through the financial support and credits eligible founders can access. Refreshments and swag included. Registration is approval-gated and the exact address is shared on registration; Station F lists it on its own calendar. Why go: office hours with the people who maintain the billing stack you are wiring in beats any talk about monetisation. Best for technical founders and early engineers at a company already taking payments or about to.

Everybody says "AI agent"; almost nobody agrees what one is. Les Cercles de l'IA spend two hours taking the term apart — how an agent reasons, how the tools you hand it actually work, how it uses memory, where it breaks and what its real limits are. You then build a working agent on a use case of your own, with the aim of leaving with something that runs. Kevin L. De Moutou leads. 19:30 to 21:30 at Le Galant, 7 rue de la Cossonnerie in the 1st. Paid ticket; the price was not published when this went up. Why go: a small peer-to-peer room where you build the thing instead of watching a demo of it. Worth the evening if you have read plenty about agents and never shipped one. Best for developers, product people and technical founders.

The first French edition of BSides ICS/OT — a one-day, non-profit, community-run conference on industrial control system and operational technology security, organised by volunteers from the Inside OT Community. Two talk tracks of field reports and research, hands-on tooling and methodology workshops, an OT capture-the-flag with Red/Blue and ICS puzzle challenges, and an afterparty. 08:30 to 18:00 at the Campus Eiffel d'ECE, 10 rue Sextius Michel in the 15th. Paid, no price published yet and no refunds. The call for speakers had not opened when this went up, so the line-up is to come. Why go: content picked on merit with vendor pitches explicitly barred, in a field where most events are run by the vendors. Best for security engineers, industrial automation staff and CISOs in manufacturing, energy and utilities — anywhere a security failure has a physical consequence.

CEFCYS holds its 16th colloquium in the Verrière space at Le Village by CA on rue La Boétie, as part of Cybermois 2026, the European cybersecurity awareness month. Nacira Salvan, CEFCYS president, opens; vice-president Gabriela Belaid moderates; Emmanuel Papadacci-Stephanopoli, managing director of Village by CA, gives the welcome. Sam Borhani of Cyber Saclay-Team speaks on raising cyber-risk awareness among young people, followed by the CEFCYS awareness working group and a round table on AI as both the sharpest new threat and the best new teaching tool in awareness work. Programme 14:00 to 17:30, cocktail and networking from 17:45. Why go: the awareness and training side of cyber rarely gets a serious room of its own, and CEFCYS brings the women running French cyber teams into it. Best for CISOs, awareness and training leads, and anyone building a security-culture programme.

with Guillaume Oreckin (, ) · Philippe Silberzahn (, )

A lunch debate at the Collège des Bernardins on whether climate change, granular data and AI-driven pricing are quietly dismantling the risk pooling that insurance rests on — and whether whole regions and residential property could end up uninsurable. Guillaume Oreckin, deputy CEO of Crédit Agricole Assurances and CEO of Pacifica, takes insurability across territories and the tension between individualised pricing and collective solidarity. Philippe Silberzahn, professor at emlyon and lecturer at HEC, takes what AI does to forecasting, mental models and decision-making. Gilles Martin and Alkéos Michaïl of 4ème Révolution moderate. Debate 12:30 to 14:00, lunch included. Paid, limited seats, registration closed 23 October. Why go: a real disagreement between an operator and a strategy academic about where AI pricing breaks a two-hundred-year-old business model. Best for insurtech and fintech founders, risk and data people in insurance, and anyone pricing climate exposure.

Pennylane's engineering, data and product teams walk through how AI actually shows up in their day-to-day work — what they adopted, what they dropped, and where the tooling genuinely helps versus where it costs more than it saves. Hosted at Le Wagon's Villa Gaudelet campus in the 11th, free, from 18:30. Pennylane is one of the larger French fintech scale-ups, so the examples come from a real codebase under real delivery pressure rather than a demo repository. Why go: a company that has been all the way through the adoption cycle talking about the parts that did not work, which is the half nobody puts in a conference talk. A concrete counterweight to the abstract AI-productivity conversation. Best for engineers, data people and product managers weighing the same decisions, and for anyone tired of hearing only the wins.

A free two-hour workshop at the Bibliothèque publique d'information on using AI tools in a job search — CVs, applications, interview preparation and where the tools mislead. Public-library programming, open to all, and a practical session for anyone in a tech-career transition.

with Chine Labbé (, NewsGuard) · Nadia Guerouaou (Neuroscientifique, )

Trench Tech records its All Star episode live at Cap Digital on AI and disinformation ahead of 2027, with Chine Labbé of NewsGuard and neuroscientist Nadia Guerouaou.

A full practical day for freelancers and small businesses: produce a month of audience-matched content in one sitting using AI, at Le Cargo.

with Laura Savino (Speaker, Adobe) · Daniel Steinberg (Speaker, Dim Sum Thinking) · Antoine van der Lee (Speaker, RocketSim) + 2 more

The tenth edition of the French conference dedicated to iOS, Swift and Apple platform technologies, formerly known as FrenchKit. Two days of talks for developers working on Swift, iOS, macOS, tvOS and watchOS, with a speaker list that includes Laura Savino (Adobe), Daniel Steinberg (Dim Sum Thinking), Antoine van der Lee (RocketSim), Matt Massicotte, Soroush Khanlou (Square), Chris Eidhof (objc.io) and Lucy Galik (Monzo). Tickets include talks, catering and the social events; Late Bird passes are the remaining tier.

The second workshop in Systematic's Scale-up Deep Tech Club, again capped at twenty participants, run with the cluster's partners — Afnor, Corbet et Associés, Curiosity, Bignon et Lebray and Tiphaine Tanguy Coaching. The club is built for deeptech founders and C-level operators who have raised €2M+ in equity and are planning a round above €5M within twelve months; each workshop takes two key themes and puts independent experts, Systematic's investor college and entrepreneurs in the same small room. Sessions can be attended individually or as a series. The address is confirmed on registration.

with Nathan Benaich (Founder & General Partner, Air Street Capital)

Air Street Capital brings the Paris launch of the 2026 State of AI Report, the annual survey of research, industry, safety and politics in artificial intelligence. Nathan Benaich, the report's author, presents the headline findings, followed by one or two fireside conversations on the year's key topics and refreshments. Registration is by approval and the exact address is shared with confirmed guests; valid physical government ID is required on the door.

Staff42's second special event, hosted by Padoa, this one on development environments — talks on tooling, reproducibility and what actually speeds a team up.

An introduction to digital health for startups — how technology is reshaping not just medicine but the definition of health and wellbeing.

A single assistant hits its limits fast on complex tasks. This session walks through CROMBEC, an open-source framework for assembling a turnkey AI solution instead.

GreenTech Forum brings the sustainable-technology community together at STATION F: sustainability and IT leads, architects, solution vendors and public-sector buyers. The day mixes talks, workshops and an exhibition floor around reducing the environmental footprint of IT — measuring emissions, eco-design of digital services, extending hardware life, and the energy cost of AI infrastructure. One of the few French events that treats the subject with numbers rather than intentions.

An evening co-organised by Impactus at RAISE in the 7th: a panel of impact founders on what actually drove their growth, followed by the Grand Prix Impactus award and a cocktail. RAISE is a well-known Paris philanthropic investment house, and the room skews towards founders and investors working on environmental and social business models rather than pure software.
