Thrive in the global economy.

For the second year in a row, BuiltWorlds is set to return to France to host the Paris Summit. This three-day event, drawing from the expert perspectives of C-Suite executives and senior leaders across Europe, African, and The Middle East, will continue conversations, ideas, and strategies about emerging trends and directionally where the industry is headed across the globe.

At this event, attendees can expect to gain uniquely valuable insights around how global companies are innovating and disrupting the industry, how sustainability initiatives and technology are impacting the industry, how venture funds are playing a large part in the sector in that region of the world and beyond, and much more. With information and technology increasingly connecting the world, every company, regardless of size and location, must understand the impact, opportunities, and challenges of thinking globally.
