JOIN AUDI TALENTS LABEL

Become the next winner of the Audi talents label by proposing your vision of circularity at the 7th edition of VivaTech!

Audi talents is the label for the emergence of Audi in France.
We are here to provide a space for reflection and creation where anything is possible.
There to accompany, produce and give life to ideas imagined by creators, entrepreneurs, innovators, to offer them time and means, in this key moment that can change a whole life.
We are here to encourage the freedom of thought of the creators, to accompany the production of their projects and to help make them known to as many people as possible.

We have been here since 2007 with Audi talents. An initiative that supports creators who are making and will make the world of tomorrow.
 

ABOUT THE CHALLENGE

 
With its joint project ”MaterialLoop”, Audi is taking the next step toward closing more material cycles in the automotive industry.

Together with 15 partners from the research, recycling, and supplier sectors, the brand with the four rings is looking into the reuse of so-called post-consumer materials, which are taken from customer vehicles at the end of their lifecycle, from the automotive sector to produce new cars.

You have an innovative idea or a service project around the issues of a sustainable resource management with the aim of living a better future - environmental, economic or social ?
Then join the adventure and submit your project to become the next Audi talents winner and give your idea the chance to exist!

Your project should be a service project but not necessarily related to cars and mobility.
