The Soft Power Salon : Where Venture, Blockchain, Culture & Global Influence Meet
Yorkseed Passport Series | VivaTech Paris Opening Salon
Where Venture, Blockchain, Technology & Global Influence Meet
Join founders, investors, operators, developers, ecosystem leaders, and innovation stakeholders for an intimate gathering during VivaTech Paris.
For this special edition, Yorkseed is merging The Soft Power Salon: Where Venture, Culture & Global Influence Meet and the VivaTech Paris Blockchain Gathering into a single curated experience, bringing together conversations around blockchain, emerging technologies, venture capital, cross-border innovation, and global influence.
The evening will begin with an interactive roundtable discussion where attendees are invited to share perspectives, insights, and ideas around topics shaping today's innovation landscape, including:
• Blockchain, AI & emerging technologies
• Europe ↔ U.S. innovation and investment opportunities
• Cross-border growth and partnerships
• Building high-trust networks in a global economy
Rather than a traditional panel, the discussion is designed to encourage participation from attendees, creating opportunities for thoughtful dialogue and knowledge sharing across founders, investors, builders, and ecosystem leaders.
Following the roundtable, the room will open for networking, allowing guests to continue conversations, exchange ideas, and build meaningful relationships in a relaxed setting away from the crowded conference floor.
Whether you are building the next generation of technology, investing in innovation, expanding internationally, or helping shape the broader ecosystem, this gathering is designed to create connections that extend well beyond VivaTech.
This event is part of the Yorkseed Passport Series, a global event platform connecting founders, investors, and ecosystem leaders across major innovation hubs including Paris, New York, London, Lisbon, Toronto, Dubai, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Austin.
Attendance is limited to maintain the quality of discussion and networking.
