Devoxx France 2025: Innovation and Networking in Technology
Published: May 7, 2025

The 2025 Devoxx France edition took place at the Palais des Congrès in Paris: the largest independent conference dedicated to development and programming in Europe. This event featured 240 presentations in both French and English, providing a platform for professionals to engage with the latest technologies and network with peers. Orange, as a Diamond sponsor, welcomed the attendees.
Challenge Orange Network APIs: “Make it Fly”
Developers were invited to participate in an engaging challenge centered around Network APIs. The goal was to manage the flight plan of an emergency transport drone through three key steps:
- Secure access to the drone using identity APIs.
- Organize the flight plan to avoid densely populated areas.
- Verify the drone’s flight plan with location APIs.
The challenge gathered 33 participants. The winner left with a DJI Mini 3 drone valued €500. Other participants left with tickets to VivaTech and Orange Network APIs credits to use our APIs!
