France is set to host tech executives and political figures this week, including former US Secretary of State John Kerry and ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt, at the ‘Viva Technology’ conference. The event, supported by Paris-based luxury giant LVMH, aims to spotlight French innovation in AI and address its implications on elections and climate change. LVMH’s Chairman Bernard Arnault is expected to be a key draw at the conference, which features cutting-edge technology from prestigious brands like Louis Vuitton and Dior.

法國(guó)將于本周在“Viva Technology”會(huì)議上接待科技高管和政治人物，其中包括美國(guó)前國(guó)務(wù)卿約翰·克里和谷歌前首席執(zhí)行官埃里克·施密特。該活動(dòng)由巴黎奢侈品巨頭路威酩軒集團(tuán) (LVMH) 支持，旨在關(guān)注法國(guó)在人工智能領(lǐng)域的創(chuàng)新，并解決其對(duì)選舉和氣候變化的影響。路威酩軒集團(tuán) (LVMH) 董事長(zhǎng)伯納德·阿諾特 (Bernard Arnault) 預(yù)計(jì)將成為此次會(huì)議的一大亮點(diǎn)，此次會(huì)議將展示路易威登 (Louis Vuitton) 和迪奧 (Dior) 等知名品牌的尖端技術(shù)。

Over the past 18 months, France has positioned itself as a leader in generative AI, the technology behind tools like OpenAI’s ChatGPT. President Emmanuel Macron has successfully attracted investments from major American tech companies such as Amazon and Microsoft while also pushing for EU-wide capital market integration to support emerging AI startups. Paris, already a global luxury hub, is leveraging its status to attract more tech investments, with dynamic growth in the tech ecosystem and meaningful investment inflows.

在過(guò)去18個(gè)月里，法國(guó)將自己定位為生成式AI領(lǐng)域的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者，生成式AI是OpenAI的ChatGPT等工具背后的技術(shù)。總統(tǒng)埃馬紐埃爾·馬克龍成功吸引了亞馬遜和微軟等美國(guó)主要科技公司的投資，同時(shí)還推動(dòng)歐盟范圍內(nèi)的資本市場(chǎng)一體化，以支持新興的人工智能初創(chuàng)企業(yè)。巴黎已經(jīng)是一個(gè)全球奢侈品中心，它正在利用其地位吸引更多的科技投資，科技生態(tài)系統(tǒng)的動(dòng)態(tài)增長(zhǎng)和有意義的投資流入。

In 2023, investors funnelled nearly $8 billion into French tech companies, positioning France behind the UK but ahead of Germany in tech investment. Paris has seen a rapid increase in tech startups, with nearly 3,000 new companies founded in 2023, surpassing other European cities’ growth rates. Notable Paris-based AI startups like Mistral AI and Holistic AI have emerged, founded by former researchers from industry leaders like Google DeepMind. The startup Adaptive ML, founded by ex-Hugging Face employee Julien Launay, quickly raised $20 million with significant backing from French and international investors.

2023年，投資者向法國(guó)科技公司注入了近80億美元，使法國(guó)在科技投資方面落后于英國(guó)，但領(lǐng)先于德國(guó)。巴黎的科技初創(chuàng)企業(yè)數(shù)量迅速增加，2023年新成立公司近3000家，超過(guò)了其他歐洲城市的增長(zhǎng)率。巴黎著名的人工智能初創(chuàng)公司如Mistral AI和Holistic AI已經(jīng)出現(xiàn)，它們是由谷歌DeepMind等行業(yè)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者的前研究人員創(chuàng)立的。由前Hugging Face員工Julien Launay創(chuàng)立的初創(chuàng)公司Adaptive ML在法國(guó)和國(guó)際投資者的大力支持下迅速籌集了2000萬(wàn)美元。

Despite these advancements, European startups still need help raising large amounts of capital due to the EU’s fragmented capital markets. However, investment partners like Index Ventures see growing potential in Europe, emphasising the importance of funding and talent recruitment to build competitive AI companies. The ‘Viva Technology’ conference aims to further establish Paris as a significant player in the global AI landscape.

盡管取得了這些進(jìn)步，但由于歐盟資本市場(chǎng)分散，歐洲初創(chuàng)企業(yè)仍然需要幫助籌集大量資金。然而，像Index Ventures這樣的投資合作伙伴看到了歐洲不斷增長(zhǎng)的潛力，強(qiáng)調(diào)資金和人才招聘對(duì)于建立有競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力的人工智能公司的重要性。“Viva Technology”會(huì)議旨在進(jìn)一步將巴黎打造為全球人工智能領(lǐng)域的重要參與者。
