This September, ALTIX Consulting participated in BIG 2025, Europe’s largest gathering of entrepreneurs and innovators, organized by Bpifrance at the Accor Arena in Paris. The event brought together thousands of business leaders, visionaries, and policymakers around this year’s bold theme: “La Vérité – The Truth.”
The day was filled with inspiration, reconnections, and forward-looking discussions on the future of technology, industry, and global competitiveness.
ALTIX President & CEO Yannick Schilly had the privilege to speak on a high-profile panel titled: “Tech War: China vs USA — Opportunities and Risks for French Industry,” alongside Arnaud Leurent, Sophie Tricaud, and François-Xavier de Thieulloy.
The conversation addressed some of the most pressing challenges shaping today’s industrial landscape:
- Securing value chains and ensuring technological sovereignty
- Developing strategies to stay competitive in a multipolar world
- Leveraging international collaboration while fostering sovereign innovation
From a transatlantic perspective, the panel underscored the importance of maintaining open channels for cooperation between Europe and the United States—balancing innovation, security, and resilience in an increasingly complex global ecosystem.
👏 Congratulations to Bpifrance for hosting another outstanding edition of BIG, and special thanks to Malek Fiouane for the invitation to contribute to this inspiring dialogue.
