VivaTech 2026 is over. But at UserShaker, we weren’t there just to exhibit.
Between conversations at our booth, our team explored the show to observe the innovations presented this year, understand the trends taking shape and, above all, look at how they translate into real experiences.
Because technology isn’t just about what it can do. How it is presented, understood and experienced by users matters just as much.
So we did what we usually do at UserShaker: observe, document, and then structure what we saw.
Looking at innovation differently
At VivaTech, technologies converge at an impressive pace: artificial intelligence, robotics, interfaces, mobility, new digital services…
But rather than simply listing the innovations showcased at the event, we chose to look at them from a different perspective: the experience.
How does a technology fit into real-world use?
What role does it give the user?
How is innovation made understandable?
And above all, what new forms of experience are beginning to emerge?
Based on our observations at the event, we created a classification of the technology trends and innovations that particularly stood out to us at VivaTech 2026.
