The next edition of BIG will take place on October 10, 2024, at the Accor Arena in Paris. This event, organized by BPIfrance for the past 10 years, will focus on the theme of “progress.” Julien Noronha is the Executive Director of Communication at BPIfrance, the French Public Investment Bank.

“It’s the only event where you can find a sort of big picture of what the French economy is.” begins Julien Noronha. Every year, for the past 10 years, the BIG (Bpifrance Inno Generation) has been dedicated to innovation and entrepreneurship.

This annual event attracts thousands of participants: entrepreneurs, startups, investors, researchers, and policymakers.

“This year, we wanted to talk about progress.” Julien specifies. “Entrepreneurs and companies have gone through a lot in recent years. They had to deal with COVID, the energy crisis, and the war in Ukraine. But we have seen that despite all this, there has been a strong conviction, a powerful drive to move forward among entrepreneurs.” he explains.

The event offers a wide range of conferences, round tables, and workshops led by influential figures, covering various topics such as new technologies, market trends, green economy, and social innovation.
An exhibition area allows companies to showcase products and innovations, providing an opportunity to discover the latest technological advancements.

A piece of advice from the Executive Director of Communication at BPIfrance to all entrepreneurs for October 10? “Prepare your event well so that in the end, you leave with enthusiasm, but also with concrete projects for the next day for your business.”
