Presidential Speech

We had the honor of welcoming Emmanuel Macron, President of the French Republic on the CEO Stage of Adopt AI.

« France is clearly a place to invest and deploy your activities. We have a lot of talents and we are increasing our investment on human capital and we will go from 40,000 persons per year being trained in AI to 100,000 per year. »

« We want to clearly accelerate AI adoption, and this summit is already contributing to that effort. », stated the President of the French Republic on the CEO Stage.
