[IN THE NEWS] Following his recent appearance on Coulisses de CEO, Clément Ray, CEO & Co-founder of Innovafeed, joined 𝟒𝟎 𝐍𝐮𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐝𝐞 𝐍𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐱 𝐕𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡 for an insightful conversation with Thomas Benzazon. Produced by Feuille Blanche in collaboration with #LaFrenchTech, this 20-minute episode explores one of Europe’s defining challenges: 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐭𝐲. Because sovereignty is not a concept, it is something we build. In factories. In supply chains. In financing decisions.

As Clément reminds us, the stakes go far beyond one company. Behind every industrial success story lies a broader question: Will France and Europe support their industrial champions until the finish line or allow others to accelerate while we hesitate?
