Frequently Asked Questions about VivaTech
What are the main sustainability and ESG challenges for VivaTech?
As the organizer of a four-day international event at Paris Porte de Versailles, VivaTech's main challenges are the footprint of a large-scale event: energy, travel of exhibitors and visitors, stand construction, catering and waste. The company holds an ISO 20121 certification for sustainable event management, which sets a structured framework but also requires continuous measurement and improvement. Another challenge is using its platform credibly: giving visibility to impact startups and sustainability leaders while demonstrating the event's own progress.
Why consider joining VivaTech's sustainability team?
VivaTech's sustainability team works on visible, concrete programmes rather than reports alone: support for impact entrepreneurs, the Impact Village space at the event, and a community of sustainability leaders with a yearly Summit. The company is human-sized, around 57 people, so interns and juniors get real responsibility and direct exposure to startups, large corporates and investors in one of Europe's biggest tech gatherings.
What could be interesting sustainability jobs at VivaTech?
Interesting roles at VivaTech include CSR and sustainability project roles that coordinate impact programmes, ecosystem and partnership roles connecting impact startups and sponsors, and communication roles that showcase the company's commitments. Internship positions in the sustainability team, such as CSR project management, are a typical way in.
How to stand out as a candidate for VivaTech's sustainability team?
To stand out, show hands-on project management in a CSR, innovation or event setting, and a genuine interest in responsible technology. A background in sustainability or impact innovation, strong communication skills and comfort with collaborative digital tools are valued. Examples of coordinating several stakeholders at once, such as speakers, startups or partners, will resonate.
What could you learn from a career in sustainability at VivaTech?
You could learn how to run impact programmes inside a major event: coordinating contributors, building programming, tracking stakeholders and reporting results. You would also gain experience in ecosystem building, partnerships with startups and corporates, and communicating sustainability commitments to a wide audience.
