TechCrunch and VivaTech partner for the VivaTech Innovation of the Year

TechCrunch has teamed up with VivaTech, Europe's premier startup and tech event, to select five standout startups for the prestigious VivaTech Innovation of the Year award in 2025. TechCrunch will curate a shortlist of top candidates, appoint a jury member to help choose the finalists, and participate in the award ceremony alongside the full jury. Finalists will also gain visibility through exclusive networking opportunities, prize presentations, and additional event passes. The Innovation of the Year winner gains eligibility for TechCrunch's prestigious Disrupt Startup Battlefield 200, offering exposure at a major tech event in San Francisco later that year.
