VivaTech is an event that Orange never misses.
For years, we have been meeting the people who are driving technology forward.
In 2026, we’ll be back with even more enthusiasm and ambition.
Three challenges. Three themes. Three ways for startups to speak up, show what they’re worth, and try to become winners. One idea: give visibility to projects that matter and build tomorrow’s innovation together.
Live Intelligence Ecosystem : GenAI for Business
Orange Business has launched Live Intelligence, a solution designed to accelerate the managed adoption of Generative AI (GenAI) by businesses of all sizes, including SMEs, in France and internationally.
Easy to use, it facilitates the integration of GenAI, prevents shadow IT, and boosts operational efficiency through agents.
Context / Need
Offered as SaaS and hosted on Orange’s infrastructure, Live Intelligence offers multi-LLM capabilities, suitable for novices and experts alike, while ensuring flexibility, security, and data compliance. Orange wants to collaborate with innovative startups to create an integrated AI store, in partnership with selected players, to provide comprehensive solutions that improve the customer, employee, operational, or digital infrastructure experience.
Expected Solutions
Participants are invited to propose innovative AI agents or SaaS applications leveraging one or more LLMs to address specific business challenges. Using the Live Intelligence platform, they must build scalable solutions that improve operational efficiency and deliver tangible value to enterprises.
We are particularly interested in solutions focused on software engineering augmentation, legal negotiations, contract management, industrial maintenance, or legacy IT process automation.
- Digital Infrastructure: can your startup contribute to maintain world-class standards?
- Customer Experience: can your startup improve this with GenAI-based solutions?
- Employee Experience: can your startup boost operational efficiency or modernize legacy tools?
- Operational experience: can your startup help boost performance?
- Digital trust: will your startup contribute to increase trust in GenAI solutions?
Cybersecurity & Quantum
Orange, a global leader in critical infrastructure management and secure networks, mobilizes more than 4,000 cybersecurity experts to ensure compliance, protection, detection, and incident response.
Context / Need
The integration of AI increases operational value, but also broadens the attack surface (data, prompts, models, agents). For secure adoption, Orange must strengthen its real-time monitoring and penetration testing tools.
Furthermore, as a global player operating in complex environments, Orange must prepare for the transition to post-quantum cryptographic algorithms that comply with next-generation security protocols by 2035.
Expected solutions
- Solutions to secure and govern AI and agents to ensure their safety, compliance, and security for all enterprise use cases.
- AI-assisted capabilities to increase the productivity and efficiency of penetration testing.
- Automated cryptographic discovery and inventory solutions designed to identify cryptographic assets (such as algorithms and certificates) and assess the nature and sensitivity of the data they protect. These solutions should also include monitoring and dashboard capabilities for comprehensive oversight.
- Solutions designed to facilitate cryptographic agility, enabling the smooth and efficient replacement of cryptographic algorithms in modern and legacy systems.
Scope
Solutions must be based on standardized algorithms and protocols (IETF, 3GPP, ETSI, ISO/IEC) to ensure interoperability, maintainability, respectability, and security. For specific cryptographic inventory solutions, preference will be given to candidates residing in or originating from Europe.
Home Platform Experience : Our Livebox Is Yours
PrplOS, an open-source operating system for fiber gateways and fixed wireless access, facilitates the rapid development and deployment of standardized services for a growing number of operators. Many manufacturers of B2C and SOHO gateways/routers (such as Orange’s Livebox) are already adopting it.
This provides a unified path for innovators to create and evolve value-added services that run natively on the gateway.
Context/Need
Orange is expanding the use of open-source prplOS as the main software for its new fiber home gateways and fixed wireless access in France, Europe, and the MEA region.
By relying on standardized, open, and interoperable software with flexible “containers” to host third-party applications, similar to a smartphone, Orange wants to offer service developers the opportunity to demonstrate the simplicity of developing and deploying value-added services, for which integration into the gateway is particularly relevant.
Expected solutions
We are looking for innovative startups to develop services on the Livebox prplOS, in local standalone, hybrid (gateway + backend), or cloud mode, with a mobile or web interface if relevant.
Use cases relate to the broadband and SOHO consumer market, such as:
- Optimization of connectivity and quality of experience
- Orchestration and automation of IoT and smart homes
- Innovative security services for homes and SOHOs
- Security for people and property (e.g., alerts, surveillance, life assistance)
- Personal data management and privacy protection services
- And any area that can enrich the broadband experience for the end customer: entertainment, music, content management/streaming, services for seniors, etc.
- Improvements to the network or customer service, thanks to access to the box
- Any other innovative home or SOHO solution, integrated into the gateway, that is likely to surprise.
- Solutions must be robust, resource-efficient on the gateway, secure by design, and leverage the standardized capabilities of prplOS (e.g., APIs).
Scope
Participants are encouraged to develop and package their solutions on prplOS. If necessary, Orange may provide:
- A fiber gateway device for development and testing
- A sandbox environment
- Technical support and integration advice
Solutions must fit seamlessly into real customer contexts and offer a clear value proposition for B2C and SOHO markets.
