Thanks to the rise of tech-friendly leaders and initiatives such as La French Tech, French innovation is making its mark on the world. Each year at CES® - the world’s largest, most influential technology event - I’m blown away by the creativity and sheer style of the innovations that French companies exhibit. And I’m increasingly impressed by the steps France has taken to promote a strong tech ecosystem - whether it’s permitting companies to test self-driving vehicles on the nation’s roads and highways or creating a work visa designed to attract top tech talent from around the globe.
This book exemplifies the growth of French innovation we’ve seen in recent years. At the center lies what the authors call “the Internet of Augmented Me” - a phrase that summarizes the complex relationship between human choice, digital solutions and environmental factors that will drive our future. I’m excited to see what will happen in the world of French innovation over the course of this decade.
As sister democracies, committed to personal liberty and self-determination, the United States and France share a long and proud history. We must remember this history as the pace of technological and political change continues to increase. Isolationism is not rational in a world where people can share ideas, information and stories with a few swipes, taps and tweets. By recommitting ourselves to our nations’ ideals, we can create a global tech ecosystem where everyone - regardless of where they come from or how they identify - can grow and thrive.
The authors bring together a remarkable array of ideas and examples - giving you an image of what the future can and should be. This book is a great way to kick off the 2020s - a decade that, as these pages show, is full of possibilities and opportunities to make our world a safer, stronger and more sustainable place.
André Joffre, President, FNBP (National Federation of Banques Populaires) and Michel Roux, General Director, FNBP, FRANCE
It is a great honor that the authors wanted Banques Populaire to preface this book. Banques Populaire is the fruit of a humanist movement that pushed, at the end of the 19th Century, small artisans and traders to pool their savings to come to the aid of those of them who could not have access to credit, then reserved by traditional banks only for large industry.
The French spirit likes to question established orders and Banques Populaire has been nourished by this audacity of transgression, of a form of protest cooperation, which pushes to innovate and to undertake. It also made the choice of cooperative status to exercise its activity because it highlights relational, geographic proximity and long-term vision. Thus, year after year, it reserves more than 85% of its results, thus creating a new form of mutualization through three means of solidarity: intergenerational, intersectoral and inter-territorial.
We find this same spirit in the Internet of Augmented Me (I.AM). It places the human at the heart
