Prime Minister Narendra Modi met with Benoit Bazin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Saint-Gobain, in Paris, France.
The high-level meeting took place during the Prime Minister’s visit to the French capital.
PM Modi arrived in Paris as part of his three-nation visit, following the conclusion of his engagements at the G7 Summit.
During his stay in the city, the Prime Minister is slated to participate in several crucial bilateral meetings, alongside attending the VivaTech Summit 2026.
VivaTech, recognised as Europe’s largest technology and startup convention, serves as a premier gathering for international leaders, entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, and innovators. Notably, India is participating as the “AI partner country” during this year’s edition of the event.
At the summit, PM Modi is projected to highlight India’s rapidly expanding innovation landscape, focusing on its advancements in digital public infrastructure and progress in emerging technologies.
Reflecting the vast opportunities for synergy between Indian and European tech pioneers, India will establish the largest national pavilion at the exhibition.
