SUMMARY:FACC-NE Leaders Series #1: Meet the Founders of Yuka and Too Good To Go
DESCRIPTION:FACCNE is launching its new Leaders Series to meet with C-level Executives whose companies\, startups\, and initiatives are boosting the American market. This first online event is organized with the CCI France Canada – Montreal and will exceptionally be held in French. \nLa FACCNE lance sa nouvelle Leaders Series pour aller à la rencontre de dirigeants dont les entreprises\, les startups\, les initiatives dynamisent le marché américain. Notre objectif est d’en apprendre un peu plus sur eux\, sur leur stratégie et leur implantation aux Etats-Unis. \nPour cette première édition\, nous avons le plaisir d’accueillir Julie Chapon & Lucie Basch\, respectivement Co-fondatrices de Yuka et de Too Good To Go\, 2 applications françaises mondialement connues (40 millions de téléchargements à elles deux) qui se lancent sur le marché américain. \n  \nL’occasion d’en savoir plus sur ces 2 entrepreneuses\, classées par le magazine Challenges dans le Top 100 des femmes qui changent le monde\, qui ont bousculé le marché de l’alimentaire\, les habitudes de consommation de la société et qui\, aujourd’hui\, se lancent aux Etats-Unis. \n\nQuels sont les enjeux pour ces 2 start-ups devenues incontournables de s’attaquer au marché nord-américain?\nQuels impacts auront-elles sur le marché américain ? Sauront-elles faire évoluer les mentalités des consommateurs et des industriels ?\n\nElles nous raconteront leurs premiers pas de ce côté de l’Atlantique et nous expliqueront leurs défis pour améliorer les habitudes alimentaires et changer les mentalités. \nREGISTER NOW \nYuka : L’appli Yuka est une application mobile 100% indépendante qui permet de scanner les produits alimentaires et cosmétiques et analyse leur impact sur la santé. L’application compte aujourd’hui 20 millions d’utilisateurs et est présente dans 11 pays. En 2020\, Yuka s’est lancé aux Etats-Unis et récemment au Canada. \nÀ PROPOS DE JULIE CHAPON \nJulie Chapon a 32 ans\, elle est diplômée d’une école de commerce : l’EDHEC. Ne sachant pas réellement dans quoi elle a envie de travailler en sortie d’école\, elle décide d’intégrer un cabinet de conseil\, Wavestone\, dans l’objectif de découvrir différents secteurs et de développer des compétences variées. Elle passe alors 5 ans à accompagner des entreprises dans leur transformation digitale. Avec les années\, elle ressent de plus en plus le besoin de travailler sur un projet porteur de sens\, quand elle participe à un hackathon avec François et Benoit Martin (co-fondateuus de Yuka). C’est alors le déclic : 6 mois plus tard\, elle démissionne et se lance peu après à plein temps sur le projet Yuka. \n \n  \n \n  \nToo Good To Go : L’appli mobile lutte contre le gaspillage alimentaire en aidant les restaurateurs et les commerçants à vendre leurs invendus au lieu de les jeter. L’application qui compte aujourd’hui… millions d’utilisateurs dans 14 pays d’Europe vient de se lancer à New York en septembre et le 6 octobre à Boston. \n  \nÀ PROPOS DE LUCIE BASCH \nIngénieure centralienne\, Lucie Basch a démarré sa carrière dans l’agro-alimentaire au Royaume-Uni. Depuis longtemps sensible au gaspillage alimentaire et choquée par ce qu’elle voit dans l’industrie\, elle décide de quitter son travail pour mettre son énergie au service d’une cause qui a du sens. Arrivée en Norvège avec l’idée de Too Good To Go en tête\, Lucie décide de commencer à monter son projet seule. Néanmoins\, elle se rend rapidement compte que « Collaboration is the new competition » et\, suite à un événement organisé par OuiShare\, Lucie rejoint un groupe d’entrepreneurs également en train de réfléchir à un projet similaire. C’est ainsi que le concept de Too Good To Go naît\, au début de l’année 2016. \nAvec l’adoption de la loi Garot contre le gaspillage alimentaire en février 2016\, qui oblige par exemple les grandes surfaces à faire don de leurs invendus à une association ou interdit la destruction volontaire de denrées alimentaires encore consommables\, Lucie a estimé que le moment était venu de développer le concept dans son pays natal. C’est ainsi que Lucie lance officiellement l’application en France en juin 2016. Elle est désormais entourée de 85 waste warriors engagés et passionnés qui participent à la sensibilisation de millions d’utilisateurs\, qu’ils soient citoyens ou commerçants. \n \n  \nLa discussion sera modérée par France Crespin\, Fondatrice & CEO de Môme Care\, marque de soins de bien-être 100% français pour enfants\, pré-ados et ados. France est une entrepreneuse franco-américaine\, basée à Boston depuis une dizaine d’années.

SUMMARY:FACC-NE - Café des Sciences : L’évolution de la Télémédecine: de la téléphonie à la technologie
DESCRIPTION:Dans cette édition du Café des Sciences\, Dylan Attia\, Directeur Général d’H4D USA présentera l’avancement technologique de la télémédecine et sa contribution aux taux de croissance de son utilisation.\nL’avancement de la connectivité a permis aux professionnels de santé de se connecter à leurs patients à distance avec confiance depuis plusieurs années. L’acte de soin à distance – la télémédecine – n’a jusqu’à récemment existé qu’en téléphonie. Mis-à-part la standardisation de la visioconférence\, le manque d’évolution technologique en télémédecine a contribué à un taux d’utilisation assez faible d’une manière globale.  En 2020\, c’est bien sûr\, la crise Covid-19 qui a fait de la télémédecine une pratique en plein essor. Cependant\, malgré sa démocratisation\, son étendue clinique reste limitée par ses capacités de prise en charge du patient.\n\nDylan Attia présentera l’évolution de la télémédecine sur le marché\, son essor en période de Covid-19 et le futur de cette pratique. Il présentera également la solution de télémédecine clinique d’H4D\, la Consult Station (r)\, premier cabinet medical connecté qui permet aux médecins à distance d’effectuer un examen clinique complet.\n\nInvité:\nDylan Attia\, Directeur Général d’H4D USA société française de télémédecine. Dans son role\, Dylan est responsable du lancement de l’offre d’H4D sur le territoire nord-américain\, y compris le development stratégique\, la vente et la mise en place de structure opérationnelle sur le terrain. Dylan est originaire de la région niçoise\, et réside aux US depuis 2003. Il est diplomé de Brandeis University (BA) et de Columbia Business School (MBA). Auparavant\, Dylan était le co-fondateur de Safe Passage Health\, une société de télésurveillance neurologique basée à New York.\n\n\nÀ propos H4D: Fondée par le docteur Franck Baudino en France en 2008\, H4D est le pionnier mondial de la télémédecine clinique\, ayant developpé la première cabine de soin à distance\, la Consult Station(r). Cette cabine a pour but de permettre à un patient de se faire soigner par un médecin à distance d’une manière équivalente à une visite présentielle\, en donnant accés au patient à une douzaine de dispositifs médicaux connectés.\n\n\nÉvénement gratuit\, en français.\nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:FACC-ATL Webinar: Impacting the future healthcare landscape

SUMMARY:FACC-ATL Webinar: International Manufacturers and Implementing Sustainability Goals
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a panel discussion with Industry leaders who will share what it means to be sustainable in manufacturing today! \n\n\nA growing number of manufacturers are treating “sustainability” as an important objective in their strategy and operations to increase growth and global competitiveness.  But sustainable manufacturing is often too narrowly defined as simply manufacturing products in ways that minimize negative environmental impacts while conserving energy and natural resources. \nBy focusing on how international manufacturing companies in Georgia are implementing sustainability goals\, such as the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations\, this event will broaden the traditional definition of sustainability to include enhancing the well-being of employees and the communities in which companies operate. \nThe discussion moderated by Valerie Thomas will be followed by a Q&A session. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMeet our Speakers\n\n\nSpeakers: \nSara Irvani – CEO\, Okabashi Brands\, Inc. \nJim Reed – President\, YKK Corporation of America \nNicolas Cudré-Mauroux – Group General Manager Research & Innovation (CTO)\, Solvay Group \nAndy Brehm – Site Director\, Gainesville Bio Operations\, Boehringer Ingelheim \nModerator: \nValerie Thomas – Anderson Interface Professor\, GA Tech \nSee full bios HERE \n\n  \n\n\n\nREGISTER NOW
