MEDEF'S POSITIONING
IN DIGITAL
DIGITAL MEANS MAJOR DISRUPTION FOR COMPANIES OF ALL SIZES AND IN ALL SECTORS OF THE ECONOMY. MEDEF’S ROLE IN MANAGING THIS
DISRUPTION IS TO ENSURE FRENCH COMPANIES ARE FULLY INFORMED AND RECEIVE THE SUPPORT THEY NEED, ESPECIALLY SMALL AND MEDIUM
ENTERPRISES THAT HAVE YET TO EMBARK ON THE DIGITAL JOURNEY AND SEIZE THE FULL RANGE OF OPPORTUNITIES OFFERED BY THE DIGITAL
REVOLUTION.
THE DIGITAL DISRUPTION LAB REFLECTS
MEDEF’S COMMITMENT TO THE DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION OF THE FRENCH ECONOMY, FROM THE
DEVELOPMENT OF DIGITAL BUSINESSES TO SUPPORT FOR TRADITIONAL COMPANIES AS THEY NEGOTIATE THE SEISMIC SHIFT OF THE DIGITAL
REVOLUTION.
