Well, France has been pushing for strategic autonomy at the European level for a long time.

And in the world we live in, there is no strategic autonomy without tech sovereignty.

It means three things.

First, it means avoiding critical dependencies.

And we need to strengthen our resilience

in an unstable world on some specific parts of the tech sector and second we must ensure compliance with our values in order to preserve our democratic framework in order to ensure consumer protection the digital space is not the wild west as president emmanuel macron often says we must protect the health of our children we must keep on fighting against

racism, hate speeches, antisemitism in social network and that is in line with the European regulation.

And third, we must support European innovation, particularly, for instance, in cloud computing, in artificial intelligence, in data

management because this would be the key pillars of competitiveness in the future.

So we need to rely on solutions we can master so we avoid service interruptions

So in a way to ensure our resilience, we put forward a solution that was designed both by research and development made by the French state, but also by French private companies.

That's called Visio.

And it incorporates the state-of-the-art video conferencing.

And that's very important because if you don't provide public agents with state-of-the-art solutions, there will be no adoption.

And history is full of state-led projects that led to nowhere because of that.

So it's very important for us to really rely on the strength and innovation of

of the private sector so our solution will be hosted by outscale it comes from a deso system there will be ai powered meeting transcription using speaker separation technologies

that is provided by Pianote, a French startup, and that will also do a lot to facilitate the daily workings of French public agents.

Well, you know, when you don't master a solution, you cannot ensure that it will be resilient in any state of the world.

Because there can be many, many crises in the years to come.
