Teratec 2024 Forum, mastering digital technology

The accelerating development of digital technologies opens up immense possibilities in a wide range of fields, while raising difficult issues at the same time.

Teratec is constantly working to master and disseminate these technologies, and these will be the main themes of the Teratec Forum to take place next May 29 and 30 at the Parc Floral in Paris. You will be able to meet leading figures from research and industry, as well as representatives of French and European public authorities.

For these technologies have such a major impact on the economy, health, defense and our way of life in more general terms, mastering them is an absolute necessity if we are to maintain our competitiveness and leadership in many sectors.

Together with our partner, the Infopro Digital group, we are focused on our objective of presenting a comprehensive overview of high-power digital in a multi-faceted event bringing all the stakeholders together in this universe with round tables, presentations, workshops on key topics and an exhibition. This is what makes it the benchmark event for high-power digital and its growing importance we measure every day.

I look forward to seeing you at the Parc Floral de Paris on May 29 and 30, and wish you all an excellent Forum Teratec.

Hervé Mouren
