Chair « Technology for Change : environnement, society and industry »

This partnership was signed in 2020 for an initial period of 5 years between Accenture and the Institut Polytechnique de Paris. The chair is headed by Thierry Rayna. The aim is to accelerate and support ecological, economic, social and societal transitions through technology and innovation. The themes addressed are inclusive innovation, the energy transition, sustainable technology, the circular economy, sustainable business models and responsible and inclusive finance. The Chair brings together representatives from civil society, the scientific community, businesses and public authorities at annual events (general meetings, technology challenges and hackathons) to discuss these themes. It also publishes an annual reference document providing an overview of the cutting-edge research being carried out on the subjects addressed, to support decision-makers in their decision-making processes.
