Looking back on VivaTech 2026: four days of exchanges around industrial innovation

On June 17 and 18, 2026, Atsora Solutions took part in VivaTech, Europe's largest event dedicated to technological innovation, as part of the Grand Est Region pavilion. 

This first participation allowed our team to present Atsora Tracking, our production tracking software dedicated to machining workshops, to an audience composed of industrialists, technology partners, investors, and innovation stakeholders. 

The challenges of production tracking at the heart of discussions 

Throughout the exhibition, discussions quickly moved beyond technical demonstrations to focus on the issues faced daily in machining workshops. 

One observation became clear through the exchanges: the majority of industrialists already have a significant volume of data from their machines, but still face difficulties in transforming it into reliable, actionable information that is directly useful for decision-making. 

At Atsora Solutions, this reality reinforces our belief: an operational intelligence platform must naturally integrate into existing processes and provide directly usable data to improve industrial performance. 

Artificial intelligence: reliable data above all 

It is impossible to walk through the aisles of VivaTech without noticing the central role played by artificial intelligence. 

From digital assistants to predictive analytics solutions, AI was present in the majority of conferences and demonstrations. 

However, our discussions with manufacturers revealed a more pragmatic reality. Before fully embracing these new technologies, many companies first need reliable, structured, and actionable production data. Without this foundation, even the most advanced tools struggle to deliver real operational value.

This trend confirms that data quality remains a major issue to support the evolution of the industry. 

VivaTech: an opportunity to develop new industrial partnerships

This first participation was also an opportunity to develop new contacts in France as well as internationally. The presence of our American partner Bruce Thomas, as well as the exchanges with visitors from several countries, enriched the discussions around the issues related to production tracking, CNC machine monitoring, and the valorization of industrial data.

Germany, this year's guest of honor, further strengthened the international dimension of the event and fostered new connections with key players in the European manufacturing industry. 

An experience that feeds the developments of Atsora Tracking 

This first participation in VivaTech marks an important milestone in the development of Atsora Solutions. 

We warmly thank all the visitors, partners, and institutions who came to exchange with our team, as well as the Grand Est region for making this participation possible.

Beyond the visibility offered by the event, these two days allowed us to better understand the expectations of industrialists regarding production tracking, traceability, and the exploitation of machine data. 

This feedback will directly feed into the next developments of Atsora Tracking with a constant goal: to offer a solution that is increasingly adapted to the concrete needs of machining workshops.  

We are already looking forward to continuing these exchanges at our upcoming meetings.
