In the presence of Christian Estrosi, Deputy – Mayor of Nice, President of Nice Côte d’Azur, Alain Bénichou, President of IBM France, and Christian Tordo, President of the EPA Plaine du Var.
For two days, this seminar will bring together experts, researchers, and French and international consultants from IBM to share their expertise with the main local stakeholders of the Nice Côte d’Azur area in the field of technological innovation. They will assist them in implementing innovative solutions for better services to citizens.
Innovation and technology:
– to tackle everyday challenges, optimize risk prediction and management,
– to better welcome, inform, guide, and retain tourists,
– to improve the autonomy and health of at-risk individuals,
Christian Estrosi: “Since his election, I have been pursuing an ambitious policy to make Nice Côte d’Azur a sustainable and smart eco-city: launch in 2010 and success of the mobile contactless experiment, Nice selected for the European project ‘Instant Mobility’ by Orange…
Innovation should not remain confined to laboratories.
It should benefit our fellow citizens in their everyday lives. This is my dearest wish, and I am striving towards it ardently.”
