Canada's AI and Tech: Converting Leadership into Strategic Partnerships at VivaTech 2026

More than 100 Canadian organizations to showcase cutting-edge AI and tech solutions in Europe

SCALE AI, Canada’s AI Cluster, is pleased to announce the Canadian organizations selected to participate in its mission at VivaTech 2026 from June 17 to 20 in Paris. This year, Canada will be represented by more than 100 AI and technology organizations, with SCALE AI once again leading and coordinating the national presence at VivaTech for a third consecutive year, building on the success of the 2025 mission.

As one of the world’s leading gatherings for innovation and Europe’s largest technological event, VivaTech brings together more than 180,000 participants from over 170 countries. Canada’s presence offers a strategic opportunity to deepen international collaboration, strengthen commercial ties with Europe, and position Canadian tech companies as trusted partners in an increasingly competitive global AI landscape.


A High-Impact Delegation

The Canadian delegation features a dynamic mix of startups, scale-ups, and established organizations offering technology solutions to address real-world challenges. Following a call for applications that generated significant interest with 170 submissions, 74 AI and technology organizations have been selected to represent Canada at VivaTech. Representing regions from coast to coast, the delegation reflects the breadth of Canada’s innovation ecosystem. Among them are organizations such as Bello Water, Demi, e-Struxture, LandLogic, Moonlite Labs, Prologue AI, Sarcomere Dynamics, Variational AI, Verge Ag and Vivid Machines.

In addition to the selected companies, this mission benefits from the support of institutional and economic partners from each region in Canada, including Calgary Economic Development, Desjardins, Global Affairs Canada, Hypertec, Invest Ontario, IVADO Labs, Qohash, and more.


Strengthening Canada–Europe collaboration in AI

This renewed commitment reflects the strength of Canada’s technology and artificial intelligence ecosystem, as well as the determination of our organizations to further establish their presence globally. Building on the collaborations initiated during the previous mission, this new delegation aims to multiply strategic partnerships, accelerate business development, and shine a spotlight on Canadian innovation across Europe.

Through initiatives like this international mission, SCALE AI continues to support Canadian companies in expanding internationally while reinforcing Canada’s position as a hub for applied AI innovation, talent, and infrastructure.

The complete list of the Canadian delegation at VivaTech 2026 is available here.
