VivaTech 2018 was a blast and we are ready to share the most interesting insights from this show. This is their 3rd convention in a row founded by Publicis Groupe and Groupe Les Echos which was initially created in Paris to compete with CES in Las Vegas. VivaTech 2018 is gigantic and boasts some 100,000 visitors, 9,000 startups, 1,900 investors. All gathered under one roof to meet and talk about innovation and hottest tech trends.

If you haven’t heard the term "discovery phase", you might have referred to it as Ideation, Concepting, or simply Planning. In the context of software development, all these terms apply to the same process: "developing the initial product idea into a clear understanding of its business goals, functional goals and the effort behind implementing this solution".

In fixed-cost projects, discovery is the best practice for initiating the project.

Now that we are back from fabulous Las Vegas show of the year - #CES2018 - we can take a moment to reflect on what this event was all about. Of course it was about the most recent technology, but let’s see what was actually hot. Our focus was mainly on automotive, robotics, smart home, pet trackers, and other impressive consumer electronics.
