LVMH INNOVATION AWARD

In 2026, the LVMH Innovation Award is taking on a new, more experiential rhythm. For the first time, the prizes will be revealed each day on the LVMH DreamGallery Stage throughout VivaTech.

Three technology partners of the Group’s Maisons will be recognized through three distinctions:

• Best Business Prize – awarded to the solution that most effectively drives business growth and operational transformation;
• Best Impact Prize – honoring technologies that advance sustainability, ethics, responsibility, and accessibility, while highlighting their long-term positive contribution across the value chain;
• Most Promising Prize – celebrating an emerging startup whose solution shows strong potential for adoption and scale within the LVMH ecosystem, reflecting the Group’s ambition to support the next generation of technology leaders in luxury.

Each winner will receive a unique trophy designed and handcrafted by Tiffany & Co. in sterling silver and vermeil. Created in the Maison’s atelier in Rhode Island, each piece required more than 60 hours of craftsmanship.

Created in 2017, the LVMH Innovation Award has recognized French and international startups each year at VivaTech whose solutions embody the Group’s core values: excellence, creativity and innovation, entrepreneurial spirit, and commitment.

Over the years, the Group has remained committed to accelerating startups and fostering their adoption within its Maisons, giving rise to concrete and impactful collaborations. The initiative has also helped shine a light on a new generation of entrepreneurs, with the ambition of bringing forward solutions capable of transforming the luxury industry in a lasting way.
