Internet of Things Chair

“The IoT is a new step in the digital revolution and participates in the construction of a new society. Here are my motivations for engaging in the creation of this research chair:

• My first conviction is that a business school such as ESCP has the objective to train students to become future managers of IoT companies.
• My second conviction is that a chair must be rooted in business reality: we are co-creating and moving forward together with our partners, Schneider Electric and Valeo. The themes of the classes, the priorities and areas of research, the projects to be carried out by students, the topics of meetings and conferences, are discussed and chosen by the steering committee.
• Finally, my third conviction is that a diversity of viewpoints is always a source of wealth. Consequently, ESCP has decided to develop cross-functional discussions drawing on the expertise of several companies at the forefront of IoT and of its professors in several fields of expertise: strategy, information systems, innovation, legal marketing, etc.

I wish that students, companies and professors, will thus actively participate in the digital transition.”
