A SPECIAL 30TH ANNIVERSARY MORNING: LOOKING TO A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
- 9 a.m.: Welcome and opening remarks
- 10 a.m.: Round table discussion
Research, training, innovation: the triptych for positive change and responsible reindustrialization?
The growing scarcity of natural resources, ecological demands, the questioning of consumption patterns, the need for sovereignty in certain sectors, and the devitalization of certain communities are all urging us to reinvent industry based on a low-carbon, more local, socially responsible, and economically successful model. Rising to this challenge of sustainable growth means rethinking traditional approaches, offering us the potential to change our future, give new meaning to progress, explore new development models, and examine new ways of cooperating. This is achieved through research — an essential ingredient in all progress — and the innovation it fosters, which in turn drives the development of clean, efficient production processes and stimulates the emergence of responsible products and business models. Lastly, it involves training to equip businesses with the expertise they need to implement innovations and ensure that their activities continue to develop in a sustainable way.
But how can these three major ingredients be coordinated to meet the challenge of industrial revival and sustainable growth? Is networking among the various stakeholders (researchers, schools, companies, institutional bodies, citizens, and so on) not one of the prerequisites? Are local communities not the most appropriate scale for achieving this? Can they be the best demonstrators of the possibilities offered by this industrial revival?
These are just some of the fascinating questions we are inviting you to discuss at this round-table event co-hosted by Serge Darrieumerlou, an expert in innovation and business transformation, whose past roles include Director of Innovation at Décathlon and Somfy, and Managing Director at Somfy France. He is also co-author of the books Osez la transformation permanente: Comment réinventer l’EnTrePrise (“Taylor is Dead: Lead your Business Transformation”) and Recroissance: entre croissance et décroissance, une nouvelle voie (“Regrowth: Between Growth and Decline There Is a New Way”).
He will be joined by scientific, managerial, and innovation experts from IMT Mines Albi and its partner companies.
