“Innovation is multifaceted”

To launch the plenary conference at its 2021 Research & Innovation Week, EPITA gave the stage to Claire Calmejane (class of 2005), Director of Innovation at the Société Générale group. This was an opportunity for the prestigious guest to discuss her own definition of innovation with the student attendees.

EPITA once again places research and innovation in the limelight!

From September 13 to 17, 2021, Research & Innovation Week was held at EPITA, allowing 2nd year students to stock up on knowledge!  And this year, like last, the program was extremely rich with several workshops and lectures focused on the latest developments in computing and digital technology!

“Allowing women to hold the position they deserve will guarantee high performance”

Director of Innovation for the Société Générale Group, Claire Calmejane (EPITA class of 2005) was recently named the most influential French tech personality by the PR agency TytoPR. Her brilliant career path and her stance in favor of diversity have made her one of the most listened-to voices of the "new French tech generation”. This ambitious and enthusiastic 30-some year old fully embraces her "role model" status. She sees the current crisis as an opportunity to speed up changes in organizations that were already taking place before the health crisis began. Of course, her vision also applies to banks, whose employees must now reflect the diversity and aspirations of their clients - a source of richness in her eyes. Here we meet with an Alumni who is on the front line of the major challenges to come, whether economic, technological, societal or ecological.
