Maddy Keynote
On February 1, take a visit to the city of the future:
A new space to invent and conquer, the city of the future will be fundamentally digital.
Through our two interventions at the event, you will discover the importance of cybersecurity as one of the foundations of tomorrow’s cities:
- 10h30 – 11H00 : Workshop with Jean-Yves Plu, Thales Programme Director, Cyber@StationF

- 12h – 12h20 : Keynote speech by Marko Erman, Thales CTO “Cybersecurity, safeguarding our freedoms” (intervention in English)
From the Habitat to Mobility, and including Well-Being and the Agora, the city is undergoing a revolution. It is entering a new era, more connected, more intelligent, more collaborative, and is being transformed at incredible speed. Never before have its points of reference been so shaken up in such a short period of time!
Our world is full of innovations, but how many of them are really useful? How many of them provide solutions to the major challenges in our lives? The aim of Maddy Keynote is to be the meeting point of those building the world of tomorrow through innovation.
Hugues Deschaux, Commissioner-General, Maddy Keynote
