<h1>Lexcelera at VivaTech</h1>

For a young entrepreneur, France's VivaTech exhibition is the ideal hub for strategic meetings. And for established companies, like Lexcelera clients BNP Paribas and SNCF, VivaTech represents their growth strategies based on technology and innovation.
&nbsp;
Held at the end of June, VivaTech was such a significant event that President Emmanuel Macron himself was present, declaring his desire for France to be a <strong>Start-Up Nation</strong>. Macron's vision is for France to become a country of the giants of tomorrow, a country of unicorns. The country may have a little way to go for that. According to CB Insights, there are just <a href="https://www.cbinsights.com/research-unicorn-companies" target="_blank">18 unicorns in Europe </a>- that is, 18 companies valued at $1 billion or more. Of these, two are in France, BlaBlaCar (ride-sharing) and OVH (Big Data). But VivaTech aims to set the stage for many more unicorns to come. 

The trend is beginning. At the end of 2016, Paris surpassed London in terms of raising funds for startups, and France has become the second largest capital in Europe for startups. With VivaTech, France aims to become the start-up capital of Europe.

The VivaTech lounge, which wants to become the "Cannes" of the start-ups, is therefore the rendezvous not to be missed. Let us be ready for 2018.

<strong><u>The Lexcelera translation agency to accompany startups and future unicorns in their international development</u></strong>

&nbsp;

Last March's French Startups magazine reported that between 2015 and 2016, 9400 startups were recorded in France, an ever-increasing number. Among them are the future unicorns of technology and innovation who know perfectly well that it is not only France to develop. The Lexcelera translation agency, which annually allocates 7% of its R&D on translation technologies, is there to accompany these startups and future unicorns in their international development.
