At VivaTech 2026, one of the world's largest innovation and tech conferences held in Paris from May 20-23, a special pavilion titled 'Abraham in Tech' highlighted the technological cooperation emerging from the Abraham Accords. The pavilion featured startups and companies from Israel, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Morocco, showcasing joint ventures in fields like agritech, cybersecurity, and renewable energy.
According to organizers, the pavilion aimed to demonstrate how the normalization agreements, signed in 2020, have fostered cross-border innovation. Notable participants included Israeli water-tech firm Watergen and UAE-based drone company Falcon Eye, which have collaborated on projects in desert agriculture and disaster response.
French President Emmanuel Macron visited the pavilion on May 21, praising the initiative as a model for regional peace through economic and technological partnership. 'This shows that innovation can bridge divides and create shared prosperity,' Macron said during his tour.
The Abraham Accords, brokered by the United States, have led to increased trade and tourism between Israel and several Arab nations. VivaTech 2026 reported over 150,000 attendees, with the 'Abraham in Tech' pavilion drawing significant interest from investors and tech enthusiasts.
