With mobility in its DNA, Paris Motor Show will bring together all types of transport stakeholders!
The show is likely to attract close to 300 auto majors who will be showcasing their latest technological innovation in the auto space.
Digital innovation is changing the way younger, urban consumers relate to the automobile, creating new expectations for ownership and usage models and new "mobility" contraptions which have appeared in urban settings.
The visitors of the show will enjoy a lively and unique pavilion where each can discover new and responsible mobility solutions.
Technology "disruption" remains at the heart of The Paris Motor Show which is also launching a BtoB Mondial.tech.
The aim is to bring together automobile manufacturers, equipment manufacturers, tech giants and startups to deepen their collaboration to shape the future of transportation and mobility.

Selected among several hundred candidates from thirty or so countries in the world, 64 finalist startups will be asked to present their pitch and exhibit at the Mondial.tech show.
They will thus meet all the ecosystem: manufacturers, equipment manufacturers and tech providers and will have the opportunity to create solid business connections.
