On April 11, 2016, the HEC Advanced Technology Group organized a roundtable on the topic of the digitalization of capital-intensive industries. 120 people attended this sold-out event, which took place in the now well-known halls of Remix Coworking, rue des Petites Écuries. Albert Meige, CEO of industrial open innovation company Presans, handled host duties. The invited panelists were:
- Ghislaine Doukhan, Executive Vice-President Safran Analytics
- Jean-Philippe Desbiolles, Vice-President IBM Cognitive Solutions
- Denis Gardin, SVP New Technologies Ventures at Airbus
- Yves Le Stunff, Chief Digital Officer at Total Exploration & Production
- Robert Plana, Senior Engineer Emerging Technologies at General Electrics
It’s no secret a big digital push is currently underway from all the major industrial players.
