Pacific Tech Village

About the Project

Pacific Tech Village is a regional initiative led by the Pacific Community (SPC), French Tech Nouvelle-Calédonie, and NeoTech to support and showcase Pacific startups at Viva Technology 2025 in Paris (11–14 June 2025). The project brings together a delegation of selected entrepreneurs and innovative projects from across the Pacific to present their solutions at a dedicated, fully customised Pacific pavilion at the event.

Startups are chosen through a multi-stage selection process based on innovation quality, impact (environmental and societal), economic viability, and territorial representation. Selected participants receive tailored support, including training, pitch preparation, and networking opportunities, to maximise their exposure and partnerships in Paris.

The initiative aims to position the Pacific as an emerging innovation hub, strengthen regional collaboration, and connect Pacific entrepreneurs to global technology networks while promoting solutions tailored to the region’s unique challenges.
