put artificial intelligence to good use? How do we reinvent
regional and international cooperation? How do we transform production models? We are bombarded by the how
and the why of it all in the quest for a long-term solution!
With the Rennes SB Summit, our motto embraces collective intelligence to reinvest in meaningfulness in a moretargeted manner and take an active interest in society’supheavals. Let’s dare to think, in the plural, to rise above
the challenges that face us.
