German Bionic to Showcase Physical AI on the Champs-Élysées as Part of VivaTech's 10th Anniversary Celebration

The event is part of the official celebrations marking VivaTech's tenth anniversary. Over the past decade, VivaTech has established itself as one of Europe's leading platforms for technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship, attracting global technology leaders, startups, investors, and policymakers.

German Bionic has been a regular participant at VivaTech since 2022 and has witnessed the event's evolution into a central gathering point for Europe's innovation ecosystem.

“VivaTech holds a special place in German Bionic's history. It was our gateway into the French market and has since become one of Europe's most important technology events,” said Armin G. Schmidt, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of German Bionic. “We are particularly honored to be part of this anniversary celebration. What I especially appreciate is that this event brings technology directly to people. For one day, the Champs-Élysées will become a place where innovation is not only presented but experienced. We are excited to meet the people of Paris and showcase the future of human-technology collaboration firsthand.”

German Bionic is among the pioneers of Human Augmentation technology. The company develops AI-powered exoskeletons designed to support workers performing physically demanding tasks while helping reduce musculoskeletal strain. Its systems are deployed across industries including logistics, manufacturing, healthcare, nursing, construction, and aviation.

With EXIA, German Bionic has developed the world's most powerful active back-support exoskeleton. Trained on billions of real-world motion data points, EXIA dynamically adapts its support to the user, the task, and the working environment in real time.

Against the backdrop of demographic change, labor shortages, and increasing physical demands across many industries, German Bionic sees Physical AI as a critical enabler of Europe's future competitiveness. The goal is not to automate people, but to augment and support them through intelligent technology.

Physical AI brings artificial intelligence into the physical world. Rather than focusing solely on digital processes, it helps people perform real-world work more safely, efficiently, and sustainably. As Europe faces the combined challenges of an aging population, workforce shortages, and growing productivity demands, Human Augmentation is emerging as a key technology for the decades ahead.

German Bionic's participation in the Champs-Élysées celebration highlights the growing importance of Physical AI and Human Augmentation as strategic fields of European innovation.
