Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is set to appear at Paris' Vivatech trade fair on Wednesday, organizers announced Monday. Bezos is expected to share his perspectives on innovation, entrepreneurship, and the future of humanity with attendees of the 10th annual tech gathering.
Since stepping down as Amazon's CEO in 2021, Bezos has dedicated his efforts to ventures such as Blue Origin, a space exploration company that competes with Elon Musk's SpaceX, and the "physical AI" startup Prometheus.
The focus of Bezos's appearance is anticipated to be space exploration, as he is slated to participate in a panel discussion with Blue Origin CEO Dave Limp and former NASA astronaut Mike Massimino. This comes after Blue Origin experienced a significant setback in late May when its New Glenn rocket exploded on the launchpad during a test.
