A recent report by Institut Montaigne highlights an important reality: despite France's strong technological position, we currently represent only 3% of the global quantum market... With just 5 startups in a world of 85, we are lagging in commercializing “end-to-end” quantum solutions. As we move into the next phase of our national quantum strategy, we must transform our technological advances into commercial successes. 🤝 At Pasqal, we believe in the potential of quantum computing to disrupt industries, from pharma and chemistry to manufacturing, energy, and finance. We are already building the quantum reality alongside key industry players EDF Thales CMA CGM Airbus BMW Group aramco This is a strategic turning point that could redefine the global competitive landscape. ⚛️ The report outlines key recommendations to bridge the gap, including strategic investments in quantum computing, sensors, and communications, which are critical for positioning France at the forefront of this emerging market. I encourage everyone in the quantum community and beyond to read this insightful analysis by Institut Montaigne. #QuantumComputing #Innovation #Technology #Deeptech #Business

🔵In a new interview for Carenews, le média des acteurs de l'engagement 🌍📗, VOICE Director Maria Groenewald discusses the indispensable collaboration with the European Union, particularly with DG ECHO. Despite substantial support, the #funding remains insufficient – with only 40% of the humanitarian financial needs being met in 2023. As we step into 2024, it is clear that the available budget of €1.8 billion will not suffice, especially amidst increasing demands due to ongoing #humanitarian crises worldwide. As VOICE champions for enhanced EU and Member States budgets for humanitarian aid, it is crucial to remember that each negotiation and #partnership aims to improve the implementation of humanitarian programs, emphasizing the importance of initiatives like the Grand Bargain and the humanitarian-development-peace #Nexus. VOICE continues to seek new members from countries where humanitarian aid needs stronger representation and advocates for increased transparency in aid reporting. 🔽For more details on how #VOICE is driving change and representing European NGOs in the humanitarian landscape, read the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/dxmpdFKa

WHO WANTS A McDonald's Big Mac Menu for 1 USD ? When you launch a #retail app such as KooulMaroc, and especially in the #food #delivery space, with the objective of promoting it, and getting #downloads and #orders, and you don’t have a deep pocket to lose #money for years .. you are facing this critical question : Where should I put my #marketing budget ? 4 options come to me : 1 - full budget on offline ads 2 - full budget on online ads 3 - mixed budget on both with nice promotions 4 - 0 budget on both and full budget on #promotions to propose the lowest products #prices possible and EVER to users Then I started to ask myself whether my marketing budget should go to Meta / TikTok / YouTube or benefit to my #customers 🤔🧐 USE CASE : Let’s say the first target for our startup would be to have 1% market share on food delivery in the 5 big Moroccan cities, that might actually do around 1,000,000 orders a month i.e very first target would be 10,000 orders a month for KooulMaroc. With only 50,000 usd monthly marketing budget, I can offer 10,000 McDonald's #bigmac menus or TACOS DE LYON #steakhouse menus at 1 usd each.. do you think I would need any #ads with this offer to get the needed virality ? It doesn’t change my 10% comission on the public price .. doesn’t change the restaurant agreed profitability on KooulMaroc orders, doesn’t change delivery cost for Kooul deliverers .. the only thing that changes is that my customer benefits from 100% of my #marketing budget .. I am not saying this is a sustainable solution but when you’re small, facing the big, how should you tackle your launch, from downloads to conversion, activation and retention without following the general & costly path of digital marketing …? PS : With only 35,000 usd monthly marketing budget, I can offer #for #free 10,000 menus of any Moroccan restaurant that has a Menu public price of 3.5 usd or less ….#Aladdin KFC #snackorange #burgerlesdaltons #latelierduboucher Burger King® Maroc - General First Food Services and many others … BELOW THE POTENTIAL MENU PRICES IF 100% OF MY MARKETING BUDGET GOES TO CUSTOMERS …FOOD FOR THOUGHT E-Morocco for everyone 🇲🇦🇲🇦 Support Moroccan Tech, Be & Download Kooul https://lnkd.in/eb9vu24g ORA TECHNOLOGIES

This week was held in Chambéry (France) the 7th edition of the national event Digital in Common[s] (Numérique en Commun[s]), bringing together actors of the "digital for the general interest" from all over France. This is not purely an event around digital commons and open models, it's much more an institutional approach driven by public administrations in an attempt to bring digital technologies into line with their public service mission. In this process, the challenge of digital commons then becomes a groundswell that is spreading all over the place, a way to try to reach this digital in commons. A strongly institutional event but where many of the people involved in these practices and movements come together, mixing a variety of people. A member of parliament, a senator or a mayor, digital workers, researchers, people from public or private organisations, from NGO or weapons sellers, the entrepreneur or freelancer, and so on. A 2-day event that nurtures a culture of openness within public administration and beyond, continuing to shed light on these subjects. It can reflect an evolution in the appropriation of these practices as with the French Ministry of Education which became an official partner for the first year in line with their digital policies, with an underlying logic of open by default. Some key ideas I'm taking could be a rise in criticism against the logic of calls for projects, challenging the way public procurement currently operates pushing for more consideration towards call for commons. A latent need and interest for education and a culture of openness, which, for example, has been well-identified as a brake for digital commons. In search of an education "by and for the commons". A critique of innovation in favor of maintenance has been made in order to take care of things and people. Despite their growing position, these practices are often overshadowed by large closed technological solutions and are not yet the favored approach in the main power bodies (and those who hold the moneybags). Digital commons remain marginal and fragile despite their fundamental nature. A vibrant appeal was made for a more structured movement to transform itself into a real alternative. To oppose to a digital in competition this digital in common, outlining these dynamics as transforming the (neo)liberal state towards a cooperative rather than competitive mindset, with a call for greater sustainability through changes in legislation. Digital has been the Wild West of liberalism, a mercantile world abandoned to the private sector where public spaces belong to billionaires more powerful than states. But we are not facing a single path, others are taking shape in front of our eyes. Politics, ideologies and conceptions of the world shape our digital universe in depth.

☁️ Arcep has just launched a public consultation on #cloud #regulation, marking a key step towards a framework that would give French companies more freedom to choose their cloud service providers.   ⚖️ This consultation, open until December 16, aligns with the law on securing and regulating cyberspace (SREN) and anticipates upcoming regulations like the European Data Act. This initiative is a positive development for the cloud sector, aiming to minimize the costs associated with data transfer and switching providers, and to clarify standards for interoperability and portability.   💡 Lowering data transfer costs and reducing barriers for switching providers is crucial for fostering competition and innovation in the cloud space. These costs can often discourage businesses from optimizing their infrastructure, locking them into specific vendors. By addressing these challenges, this consultation paves the way for greater flexibility, enabling companies to adopt multi-cloud strategies.   ⚙️ Strengthening interoperability and data portability is also key for creating a more open and dynamic cloud ecosystem. Improved compatibility between different systems will allow businesses to seamlessly integrate services from multiple providers. This means they can benefit from cutting edge technologies while maintaining their flexibility, without having to worry about complex technical barriers.   🚀 I believe this push for a new regulatory framework is a step in the right direction for the cloud sector, promoting a more transparent and user-centric market, encouraging innovation while ensuring fair competition.   📝 The Arcep public consultation is available here 👉 https://lnkd.in/e8kMrk-H Julien Villeret - Louise Vilain - Catherine Jouny - Mathieu Bertrane - Tiphaine David (Croville) - Charlotte Barbier - Anthony M. - Luna Valy Estay - Laurent BERNOU-MAZARS - Christophe Rodrigues - Gilles Deleuze - Joachim Simon - David ROUXEL
