Why your team should come

Two days, four outcomes. A working prototype, hands-on support, peers across the portfolio, a clear next step.

  • Prototype

    A working AI prototype in 24 hours.

    Pick a real problem your team is already trying to solve. Leave Paris with a prototype you can pilot within weeks, not slides about an intention.

    Outcome

    A working build you can demo on day one.

  • Support

    AI experts and Google engineers on the floor with you.

    Google Cloud engineers and AI mentors stay in the room with your team. Architecture review, code guidance, and direct help when you hit a wall, from people who use this stack every day.

    Outcome

    Questions answered in minutes, not days.

  • Network

    Meet your peers across the Eurazeo portfolio.

    Spend two days alongside teams from other Eurazeo companies who are working on similar problems. Trade what you have learned, swap notes on what worked, and leave with people you can call when the next question comes up.

    Outcome

    Peers you can reach out to after the event.

  • Proof Point

    Something concrete to take forward.

    Walk away with a validated use case, a clear read on feasibility, and a defined next step. Trade an abstract idea for a concrete plan you can act on at home.

    Outcome

    A working artifact and a plan you can use.

The full arc

Prepare, build, sustain. A program that starts before July and continues into the autumn.

Preparation before so teams arrive with a clear problem, and structured follow-up after so the work keeps moving.

Twenty-four hours of focused build at Google Paris.

  • Kickoff and team briefing -- Thursday evening.
