www.edhec-mba.com   EDHEC’s brand new Campus in Singapore hosted in early April its first Global MBA Business Trip. Focused on the theme "Doing Business in Asia”, the agenda included academic lectures, meetings with leading international companies such as McKinsey, Google, BIC, Hermes, OCBC Bank and STMicroelectronics , as well as insights from the SMU ( Singapore Management University). Participants also had the opportunity to visit exceptional sites such as the Hyflux desalination facility and the Port of Singapore , which ranks as the world’s second biggest merchant seaport. EDHEC Global MBA participants were thus able to analyse Singapore’s unique business model, which has proven extremely successful for businesses intent on investing in Asia. “It was like having detailed access to the secrets of a thriving 300-billion dollar company: Singapore is the world’s best case study,” says EDHEC International Programmes Director Pierre d’Huy, who designed this innovative learning expedition. The trip was undertaken by the “ Global Leadership Track ” participants of the EDHEC Global MBA. Delivered entirely in English, the EDHEC Global MBA is intended for managers from all walks of life who wish to change the direction in which their professional career is going. There are two intakes a year, one starting in September and the other in January, which host more than sixty students at the EDHEC Campus located in Nice, on the French Riviera. With over 25 nationalities and an average age of 32, the EDHEC Global MBA is acknowledged as N°1 worldwide for the diversity of its student body (The Economist 2010). ABOUT THE EDHEC SINGAPORE CAMPUS The opening of the campus in the centre of Singapore’s business district resulted from a successful response by the EDHEC Group to a call for tenders, after being asked by Singapore Authorities to take part in a cluster of excellence, working on the development of education and finance in Singapore.

  With almost 20,000 visitors CARTES & IDentification confirmed its international influence and positioned itself more than ever as the major global event for digital security and smart technologies     CARTES & IDentification was in fine form, positioning itself more than ever as the sector’s key global event. From the Conference to the SESAMES Awards and the high numbers at the stands, the event combined innovations and dynamism. With a rising number of visitors (19,513 visitors in total against 18,768 visitors in 2010), this edition has once again been able to meet the high expectations of the profession. Building on this success the CARTES team has already announced the dates of the next edition: 6 to 8 November 2012 in Paris Nord Villepinte.   CARTES & IDentification, reflection of a dynamic market   The trade show confirms its international status with 430 exhibitors from 45 countries, and 19,513 visitors , with 69% visitors from outside France, representing 143 countries.   The 21 conferences tracks during the three days welcomed 1,225 participants , including 87%professionals from outside France.   Key industry issues were discussed at length, in particular during the conferences dedicated to mobile payment and financial services (NFC and contactless), the future of payments, security in a “cloud” ecosystem, multi-application, point of sales / point of interaction and e-government, which were a great success.   As every year, the high point of the Congress was the inaugural conference of the "World Card Summit", during which key leaders from the industry analysed major market trends and presented their strategic visions in front of a full house of 500 people. For the first time in Europe, Scott Mulloy the CTO of ISIS (joint-venture with AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon Wireless) presented their mobile payment vision during a keynote. Eurosmart also presented a preview of the 2011 figures and forecasts of the global market, announcing an expected 13% growth in 2012 and 7 billion units for secure smart devices.     Mobile payment and NFC applications: key themes for this year   Visitors are aware of the deployment of contactless technology and the arrival of NFC terminals for mobile payment, with many demonstrations on the stands such as the NFC car by Oberthur or the e-bike by NXP. The pavilion dedicated to mobile payment companies hosted 12 solutions providers for mobile payment, transactions management, Trusted Service Management, smartphones, tablets and other smarts mobiles objects.   Many projects in Government Security and in E-health   The identity protection sector is booming and the technologies of identification and authentication presented by the exhibitors have been applied to many documents (biometrics passports, electronic ID, electronic driver’s license, health cards...). E-health has been in the spotlight this year with the Smart Health exhibition which presented innovations for electronic health record, health cards, or even applications for telemedicine that improve the quality of care services and patients comfort, but it also fights against fraud and inflation in health costs.   The SESAMES Awards: the excellence of the technology rewarded     The winners of the 2011 SESAMES awards were revealed in front of a privileged audience of 300 guests during a superb ceremony organised at the Automobile Club de France.   Here once again is the list of this year winners, which was particularly full of innovations:   -         BEST HARDWARE: DYNAMICS with Chips & Choice -         BEST SOFTWARE: NXP SEMICONDUCTORS with Open source NFC Host Software stack for Android -         BEST IT SECURITY APPLICATION: GEMALTO with Just4YourEyes -         BESTTRANSPORTATIONAPPLICATION: INSIDE SECURE with VHBR -         BESTBANKING/RETAIL/LOYALTY APPLICATION: SIMARTIS TELECOM with Bubble -         BESTSECURE INTERNET/AUTHENTICATIONAPPLICATION: HID GLOBAL with Next Generation Secure Identity Ecosystem -         BESTMOBILITY   APPLICATION: NXP SEMICONDUCTORS with PN65 Secure NFC module -         BESTeTRANSACTIONSAPPLICATION: VERIFONE with PAYware Mobile Enterprise -         BESTMANUFACTURING& TESTSAPPLICATION: OBERTHUR TECHNOLOGIES with ID One Digital watermark     See you at the 27 th CARTES Exhibition & Conference which will be held from 6 to 8 November 2012 at Paris Nord Villepinte.   Country Guest of honour: India   To access the latest news on CARTES & IDentification The website: www.cartes.com or the blog: www.blogcartes.com     Photos of the 2011 show can be obtained on request from LEWIS PR   LEWIS PR Lucie Robet – Karine Monsallier – Bérengère Deleage cartes@lewispr.com Tel : +33 (0)1 55 31 98 01 – Fax : +33 (0)1 55 31 98 09   Regional press contact: Ms. Ratchaneekorn Mekchai French Trade Commission – UBIFRANCE French Embassy in Thailand Phone: 02 352 4119 ratchaneekorn.mekchai@ubifrance.fr www.ubifrance.com/th

31 January 2012 – The boom in data transmission and storage capacity has given rise to cloud computing, where calculations and data are scattered in a universe that is no longer directly accessible to customers, who instead buy processing activities in the same way that one might buy electricity. Three levels of offerings are available: Externally hosted IT infrastructure (IaaS = Infrastructure as a Service); Ready-to-use environments (PaaS = Platform as a Service); and Standardized shared applications sold as services (SaaS = Software as a Service). Revenue from the global market for cloud computing services totaled US$68.3 billion in 2010, while in Europe, the cloud computing market surged 20% and may account for almost 15% of the European software and services market by 2015. The French market was worth €1.85 billion in 2010, of which €672 million were generated by SMEs, and continues to grow strongly. It is set to exceed €2 billion in 2011 and may account for more than 6% of the French software and services market by 2012 (estimate by Nexima).   Alongside international operators such as Microsoft, Google, HP, AT&T and IBM, France is home to numerous companies, including ATOS, Cap Gemini, Steria, Orange and SFR. ATOS has recently established Yunano , a joint venture with Chinese company Ufida, to market cloud-based management software and associated services. French software publisher Systancia , with bases in the Alsace and Ile-de-France regions, is a market leader in Europe for application/workstation user environment virtualization.   France provides new entrants with a growth-friendly environment. French legislation affords a high level of protection for data and data processing; in particular, regulations governing encryption (Act 2004-575 of June 21, 2004 and Decree 2007-663 of May 2, 2007) cover concerns relating to the sensitivity of data entrusted to cloud computing centers. New entrants include US company Joyent , established in Ile-de-France (Paris region) in 2010, which provides IaaS to LinkedIn, Disney, CNN, Facebook, Yahoo and vente-privee.com, and open-source PaaS to publishers, hosting companies and specialist computer services companies such as Dell and First Service. This pioneering cloud computing start-up is now competing with cloud-based offerings from companies such as Amazon EC2 and Microsoft Azur. In 2010, Dell entered into an OEM (original equipment manufacturer) agreement with Joyent to use its “smart technologies” to offer “turnkey” clouds hosted on its servers.   France has eight innovation clusters involved in cloud computing: Cap Digital and System@tic (Ile-de-France), Elopsys (Limousin), Images et réseaux (Brittany/Pays de la Loire), Imaginove and Minalogic (Rhône-Alpes), Secure Communication Solutions (Provence-Alpes-Côte-d’Azur) and the e-secure transaction cluster TES (Basse-Normandie).   In 2011, the French Government issued an initial call for projects dedicated to cloud computing R&D as part of its “National Investment Program” . Five projects will receive state aid (€19 million): a software engineering platform ( CloudForce project , Orange Labs), an application porting scheme ( CloudPort project , Prologue, an SME), a high-performance software infrastructure ( Magellan project , Bull), a community cloud ( Nu@age project , Non Stop Systems, an SME), and a higher education establishment cloud ( UnivCloud project , INEO). The French Federation of Software Publishers ( Association Française des Editeurs de Logiciels – AFDEL) has set up a website ( www.investirdanslenumerique.fr ) to simply the procedure for project owners when submitting project for “National Investment Program” funding.   According to David Appia, Chairman & CEO of the Invest in France Agency,   “France is a growth market for high-tech and innovative companies, particularly in the cloud computing sector, where the leading players are already here doing business. The French government’s “National Investment Program” is providing a boost to a dynamic network of partnerships created by France’s innovation clusters through its funding offers for projects involving IT system designers, telecoms operators, software publishers, technology integrators, research laboratories and innovative SMEs.”   The Invest in France Agency (IFA) is the national agency responsible for promoting and facilitating international investment in France. It also coordinates initiatives to promote France’s economic attractiveness. The IFA network operates worldwide. In France, the IFA works in partnership with regional development agencies to offer international investors outstanding business opportunities and customized services.

  Contactless identification and transaction technologies (NFC, for “Near Field Communication”) have experienced rapid development in a global market that enjoyed accelerated growth in 2010 which has continued into 2011. According to Eurosmart, global use of “smart secure devices” in 2011 amounted to almost 6.1 million units (contactless smart cards), used in telecommunications (microprocessor cards – 4.6 million), financial and payment services (one million) and passports, identity and healthcare cards (e-government and e-healthcare – 0.22 million), with the remainder split between a variety of applications, notably in transport (tickets, tolls, etc.) and pay TV.   French companies with recognized expertise in the sector include Inside Contactless in Aix‑en‑Provence (Provence-Alpes-Côte-d’Azur region), a member of the TES (Secure Electronic Transactions) innovation cluster in Caen (Basse-Normandie region), which has acquired ATMEL’s SMS (Secure Microcontroller Solutions) division; Gemalto in Sophia Antipolis (Provence-Alpes-Côte-d’Azur) ; and TAZ-TAG in Rennes (Brittany), which has entered into a partnership agreement with Toronto-based Canadian company Quand Medical , which specializes in medical information.   Foreign investors have been quick to seize opportunities in the French market, making use where possible of tax incentives supporting research and development (e.g. France’s research tax credit). For example, Japanese company SATO provides RFID solutions from its Lille site (Nord-Pas de Calais); U.S. coding and identification company Markem-Imaje has established a site in Bourg-lès-Valence, close to the SCS (Secure Communication Solutions) innovation cluster at Valbonne-Sophia Antipolis (Provence-Alpes-Côte-d’Azur); German company Deister Electronics is a leading player in RFID solutions in the Île-de-France (Paris) region; while Maroc Traitement de Transactions (M2T) has also established an Île-de-France site, aided by the IFA and the Paris Region Economic Development Agency. Innovation clusters Novalog in St-Étienne-du-Rouvray (Haute-Normandie) and Systematic Paris Region, which both specialize in traceability, are home to many foreign companies.   The “ 2011 Cards and Identification ” show, due to be held in Paris from November 15-17, 2011, will focus on the contactless card and payment industry, the “object internet” and M2M, as well as the development of identification technologies. In this latter field, Bluelinea is preparing for the 2011 launch of an electronic bracelet to monitor Alzheimer’s patients in their homes. More generally, the ability to monitor any item, cargo, vehicle, animal or person requiring special surveillance will call for detection infrastructure to be installed at mandatory transit points. Furthermore, ethical considerations arising from monitoring and identifying people and goods will need to be considered. Other applications could quickly become widespread: till procedures (bar code scanners), toll points (RFID scanners) and ticketing (for metro systems, shows and performances, vehicle parking and day-to-day transactions).   In October 2011, the NFC Forum , a consortium of manufacturers responsible for defining NFC standards, updated the so-called SNEP (Simple NDEF Exchange Protocol) specifications for peer-to-peer sharing. This protocol enables two NFC-equipped phones to exchange data simply by touching the handsets together. This function can be put to a wide variety of uses: exchanging business cards, gathering special offers for use at a later time, contacting and following other people on social networks, and exchanging small amounts of money or travel tickets.   In May 2011, the French government issued a €20 million call for projects (“Rolling out NFC contactless mobile services”). Funding will be awarded to 20 to 30 contactless mobile telephony projects to be rolled out in several major French cities offering information and payment transactions.   The Invest in France Agency (IFA) is the national agency responsible for promoting and facilitating international investment in France.
