VivaTech 2026 —
Private chauffeur for tech CEOs & investors
Mercedes for Silicon Valley CEOs, VC funds, government tech delegations and specialist tech press.
June 11-13, 2026 · Paris Expo Porte de Versailles
On the morning of June 11, CEOs who landed the night before by private jet at Le Bourget leave the Plaza Athénée, Le Bristol, the Crillon. Heading to Porte de Versailles. The keynote starts at 10 a.m. No margin.
VivaTech has become Europe's largest tech event. Three days, 150,000 professional visitors, Silicon Valley CEOs on panel, Sand Hill Road VC funds road-showing Paris palaces, government delegations from India, Japan, Korea, the United Arab Emirates. And a Paris exhibition hall — Porte de Versailles — which becomes one of the most saturated points in Paris for three days.
For premium guests — those delivering keynotes, deciding Series C+ deals between two meetings, dining at Taillevent or Pavillon Ledoyen between two panels — transportation must match the projected image: silent Mercedes, impeccable English-speaking chauffeurs, frictionless American Express Centurion payment, English receipts as standard.
The Precellence team has operated at VivaTech alongside premium partners. We know the Porte de Versailles flow patterns, the VIP drop-off zones, and the specifics of a Silicon Valley clientele that values speed, fluent English and discretion.
