Software République with a new concept at Viva Tech '24

PARIS – 05 April 2024

Back at VivaTech for the third year, the Software République will unveil a new vision and concept around the mobility of services, designed to help citizens gain rapid access to various proximity services, and to help regional authorities and municipalities improve public services across their regions.

Continuing on from the theme of its “H1st Vision” last year, the Software République will put the focus again on the user with a new human-centric, mobile and modulable cabin delivered on a futuristic light commercial vehicle.

To be unveiled by the Software République CEOs on the main stage at VivaTech ‘24, this concept will go beyond its “H1st” predecessor in the number of innovations shown (20 last year, of which 8 are heading towards production). This is further proof of Software République’s capacity to bring together large, medium and small businesses to deliver a scalable solution which fills a real need to deliver services closer to your door.

This year’s stand experience will be pushing the boundaries of Artificial Intelligence, Augmented Reality, and Virtual Reality with a fully immersive experience.

This unique technological demonstrator brings together the complementary expertise of the 7 Software République member companies (Dassault Systèmes, Eviden, JCDecaux, Orange, Renault Group, STMicroelectronics and Thales) and 3 partner companies (Withings, Praesens Care, and Essilor Luxottica), as well as 10 other contributors.
