THE LVMH INNOVATION AWARD

 

 

The world leader in luxury, LVMH owes its performance to its entrepreneurial and visionary spirit – the one of his founder, Bernard Arnault – which is the key pillar to the Group’s long-lasting success.
Each of its 75 Maisons is continuously fostering innovation, creativity and excellence.

Since 2017, the LVMH Innovation Award puts the spotlight on the best global startups and has been a powerful provider of solutions to enhance the customer experience.

This challenge establishes itself as a unique acceleration program for the startup ecosystem, by building successful collaborations between LVMH Maisons and any startup willing to explore new business models and technologies.
