Dear friends from Ponts Industrie,

Over the past two years, you've had the opportunity to attend a number of interesting and varied conferences, led by people with a strong commitment to French industry.industry (company directors, consultants, experts, members of think tanks or representatives of employers' organizations...).

These speakers shared their enriching perspectives, with first-hand information and opinions on sectors, products and plants.

In addition to these presentations, the richness of our community also lies in the exchanges we can forge with each other. There are some 2675 of us in our group.

Some of us have spent our entire careers in industry; others are simply passionate about industrial topics, the innovation of our professions for example, or the challenges of reindustrialization of our country, even if they have never worked in industry stricto sensu (but Pierre Veltz, Michel Rousseau or François Lévêque have taught us how difficult it is to define industry after all!). Finally, some of our comrades have moved back and forth between industry and other sectors.

On September 7 at 7 p.m., we propose to meet and exchange ideas, to get to know each other better:

• Quick presentation in small groups of your own career path; exchange with others
• Rotate and mix groups until you've had a chance to talk to everyone present.
  

This exchange will be followed by a cocktail reception.

We look forward to seeing you at the Maison des Ponts.

Emmanuel Bergerot and Franck Avedissian (1995)

PS: we're always on the lookout for new Industry group leaders to complete our tandem! Any suggestions for conferences, events or visits are welcome for 2022-23!
