Digital technologies: arising now !

Numerical simulation, HPC and Big Data are rapidly spreading in the whole economic sphere. TERATEC Forum is the opportunity to take the measure of this progression pervading in all sectors, and, progressively, in companies of all sizes.

A diversity of advanced users will present what they do and what they are foreseeing – large groups such as Michelin, Compagnie Générale de Géophysique and CEA; outstanding SMEs such as Optis, the leader in optical simulation; other major players like Amazon.

We will also listen to Thierry Mandon (French Minister for Higher Education and Research), Valérie Pecresse (President of Ile-de-France Region)… and Gail Kent (Acting Deputy Director General, DG CONNECT, EUROPEAN COMMISSION) who will present the European Commission forthcoming programmes.

TERATEC Forum is thus a unique opportunity to discover how this digital revolution will deeply transform our activities.

Hervé Mouren, Teratec Managing  Director
