Disruptechs Agora

Every year, the Metis Lab EM Normandie Business School, the Fabrique du Futur and the Réseau de Recherche sur l'Innovation (RRI) organise the DTA (DisrupTechs Agora) to discuss the challenges of disruptive technologies.

This conference is dedicated to "cross-fertilisation" between the worlds of research and business. The aim is to encourage dialogue between these different players by comparing their points of view and sharing their experiences in order to think about the future. Each year, the event is structured in two parts: one part aimed more specifically at practitioners and one part in the form of a research seminar associated with a special issue of one of our partner journals.

DTA 24 'Disruptive Technologies & Healthcare

The general theme of this year's conference is disruptive technologies and healthcare.
The conference takes place on Monday 2 December 2024 at EM Normandie Business School's Paris-Clichy campuses.
