Moonlite Labs at VivaTech Paris 2026 with Canada's delegation
A second straight year representing Canada in Paris with Scale AI's official delegation, and a full house at the Canada Pavilion from the moment the doors opened.
VivaTech is the largest startup and technology conference in Europe, pulling founders, enterprises, and investors to Paris every June. Moonlite Labs exhibited there for a second straight year in 2026, again as part of Scale AI's official Canadian delegation at the Canada Pavilion.
Why the Canadian delegation matters
Travelling with Scale AI puts Canadian AI companies on one of the industry's biggest floors under a single banner, which changes the kind of attention a small team can get. For a creative platform built in Winnipeg, standing in that group is both a marker of the work so far and a chance to show a global audience what an all in one AI creative workspace looks like when someone actually uses it.
Opening day filled the booth, with creators, brands, and investors arriving as the doors opened and the questions not letting up until the floor closed for the night. The crowd stayed deep enough that people were watching the screen over each other's shoulders.
What visitors came to see
The pitch was the product rather than a slide deck. One idea, carried the whole way: a prompt becomes a shot, the shot is trimmed and graded in the native editor, and the finished piece is scheduled from the marketing hub. Watching that happen without a single export or a second application is what made people stop walking and pull out their phones.
The demo starts the conversation, but the conversation is the point. Independent filmmakers asked about control over motion and colour. Agencies asked how a team moves a client project from first draft to delivery without losing track of versions. Investors wanted to understand where an all in one platform sits while the model landscape keeps shifting under everyone. Each of those questions ends up shaping what gets built next.
The first trip to VivaTech, in 2025, came shortly after an award at the Manitoba AI Innovation Showcase and a place on TechCrunch's Top 30 Startups of the Year list. Returning a year later with a native editor, a marketing hub, and a deeper model lineup meant the demo could go further in the same five minutes. That is the clearest measure of a year of work.
