🔹 Shaping Global Markets, Building Trust in a Fragmented World This morning, we held the CEF ( French National Committee of the IEC ) Annual Meeting — a key moment for our community, reflecting the strength and commitment of the French electrotechnical standardization ecosystem. The event was marked by several highlights: 🏅 The 1906 IEC Awards, along with the CEF Marie Ampère and Emeritus Awards
These distinctions recognize outstanding expertise and celebrate the remarkable contribution of French experts engaged on the international standards: All the - winners- are mentionned below . I would like to warmly thank all of them.
Through their work, they shape markets, define the rules of the game, strengthen the competitiveness of our industry, and help ensure that innovation can scale and be widely adopted. 🤝 A key notes speaker, Fabien Le Voyer from INRIA, with highly insightful panel discussion with Isabelle Sitbon , Benjamin Martinez, and Alia Fourati , animated by Gilles NATIVEL focused on a key topic:
Artificial Intelligence and how to build trust in a world where data and AI are at the core of increasingly complex systems. The discussion clearly highlighted that standardization has a critical role to play in structuring, securing, and enabling trust in these transformations. 🙏 Finally, I would like to thank all the AFNOR teams Éric Laurençon Franck Lebeugle , the AFNOR- CEF team, all the members of the AFNOR-CEF, and all experts for their continued commitment. In a world that is both transforming and fragmenting, our collective ability to build shared frameworks is more essential than ever. Standardization is a strategic lever for innovation, trust, and global influence.
