Placed under the sign of metamorphosis, Big, the great meeting place for entrepreneurs, returns on October 6 at the Accor Arena Paris for an 8th edition. Discover the route dedicated to La French Touch.

« The theme for Big 2022 was chosen before the war. It comes from our experience of the pandemic, it comes from the metamorphosis imposed on us by climate change and it comes from the eruption of Web3. The war gives it even more topicality. Everything is racing, and our entrepreneurs must once again rewrite their history.
