This year, LVMH, the world leader in luxury, is showcasing its dedication to innovation and creativity by opening the doors of its LVMH Apartment to visitors of the VivaTech Salon. This remarkable event will take place in a 610m2 space, featuring 16 Houses of the LVMH Group and 21 start-ups, each presenting their latest innovations and solutions.
At the forefront of this experience is Livi, LVMH’s innovative avatar and the embodiment of cutting-edge technology. In her “virtual apartment,” Livi promises visitors a digital and immersive user experience. She will interact with industry experts, engaging in discussions on the future of luxury, Web3, sustainable development, beauty tech, and Data. Moreover, Livi will provide individuals with the opportunity to apply for digital and IT positions within the Group and its Houses.
A highly anticipated event at the VivaTech Salon is the LVMH Innovation Award ceremony. This year, it will take place on stage 1 on June 16th at 9:45 AM. Out of 950 innovative solutions from 75 countries, LVMH has curated a selection of 21 start-ups, with 48% being led by women, to address the challenges faced by its Houses. The chosen start-ups will also have the opportunity to join the renowned LVMH acceleration program, La Maison des Startups, located at Station F.
Livi will have the honor of hosting Bernard Arnault, Chairman and CEO of LVMH, live from her virtual apartment during the award ceremony. Alongside the esteemed jury members, Livi will assist in recognizing and honoring six start-ups across six categories. These categories encompass the major challenges and developments within the luxury industry and its ecosystem, including 3D/Virtual Product Experience & Metaverse, Employee Experience & CSR, Media & Brand Awareness, Omnichannel & Retail, Operations & Manufacturing Excellence, and Sustainability.
In addition to the award categories, a special prize will be bestowed upon a start-up for its incredible work in Data and AI. The winner of the LVMH Innovation Award’s Grand Prix will follow in the footsteps of the 2021 laureate, Bambuser, a pioneering start-up in the field of LiveStream Shopping.
