Hub
Digital Infrastructure & IoT
The Digital Infrastructure & IoT Hub brings together a large panel of actors enabling a complete vision, capable of designing solutions embedded in communicating objects and digital infrastructures that are interoperable, open, agile, secure, intelligent and automated, meeting the requirements of many social and economic sectors.
The Hub is willing to position players in the Paris-Region as leaders in the technological and business changes in digital infrastructure. It will be a driving force in structuring the national industry by interacting with the organizations involved (Embedded France, the Images et Réseaux and Mov’eo (now“Next Move”) clusters, the CSF Digital Infrastructure (national Strategic Branch Committee), etc.).
Thanks to their performance, agility, openness, reliability and security, infrastructures will enable the creation of new services that facilitate use and improve performance in many sectors: manufacturing, connected agriculture, remote diagnosis, remote operation, autonomous vehicles, smart territories, energy, etc. The new products and services developed within the Hub will be less energy demanding than the former ones and will enable the development of environmentally responsible solutions.

President of Digital Infrastructure & IoT Hub
“Digital infrastructures and the Internet of Things are at the heart of the digital transformation of our societies, enabling the processing and sharing of information, as well as being the interface between both physical and digital worlds. They must therefore offer performance and levels of trust that are able to respond to loads of critical applications. At the same time, our field is experiencing major technological upheavals, with, for example, telecom/computer convergence, more distributed processing, more intelligent and more programmable infrastructures… 5G is coming, and it opens the field to these developments, but there is still a lot of work to be done in terms of technical, operational, usage and economic models.
In order to completely meet these challenges, we are bringing together within the Hub an impressive ecosystem of large groups, SMEs and academics, with key expertise in embedded systems, networks, clouds, vertical applications, etc. Our actions aim to catalyze interactions within this ecosystem, to develop its visibility and international connections, and to accelerate the emergence of new uses for infrastructures. We have defined our roadmap and its priorities, and we will not fail to share its developments during our regular meetings, including our annual IdéO event each September.”
