SURPRISE! In 2026, Clermont Innovation Week returns with the motto « surprise. » Surprise is a vehicle for discovery, wonder, and the advancement of knowledge.
It’s also an invitation to be surprised by new and unexpected experiences, by personal accounts and new insights. Accepting surprise means accepting the opportunity to evolve your ideas: to enrich them, update them, or even change your mind. Finally, this theme « SURPRISE! » emphasizes the emotional aspect of phenomena in the world of science, innovation, and entrepreneurship. From scientific discovery to the astonishment of the entrepreneur embarking on their project, surprise is synonymous with emotions to be shared at CIW!
Let yourself be surprised at the 9th edition of Clermont Innovation Week!
Clermont Innovation Week is a week of events coordinated by Clermont Auvergne Métropole highlighting science and innovation. For 10 days, in the spring, ecosystem actors offer different event formats (conferences, visits, exhibitions, workshops) to make their activities more accessible and allow everyone to come out with new knowledge!
No form of innovation is left aside and the program highlights both deeptech and entrepreneurship topics as well as initiatives related to culture and social innovation. Professionals, families, students, or enthusiasts of these themes, there is definitely an event for you in the program.
CIW stands out for what it is not. It is not elitist, commercial, techno-centric, impersonal, or the event of a single actor. Its offbeat tone and its proximity to the territory reflect its commitment to openness, discovery, and sharing of knowledge.
