Carve Startup Labs invites applications from startups ready to scale and grow in Europe to be part of its Paris Immersion Program, curated alongside VivaTech 2026 in Paris, France, this June. 

While VivaTech provides a powerful platform for startups to engage with global corporates, investors, and innovation leaders, this CSL-curated immersion program is designed to complement the summit experience, enabling founders to move beyond visibility and gain structured access and practical insight into Europe’s startup ecosystem.  

This program is supported by Choose Paris Region and Business France, strengthening access to on-ground networks, market insights, and ecosystem connections.
