France and Japan Robotics: what opportunities for collaboration? What is the current state of the French Robotics Industry? What are the existing French-Japanese collaborations? Japan has long been known for being one of the world’s leading Robotics industries, delivering fully integrated automation solutions with its state-of-the-art Industrial and Service Robots. On the other hand, while the French Robotics market has known a late blooming, France has also been famous for its research teams, especially competitive in the field of service robots and human-machine interfaces all around the world. Is there room for collaboration? If so, what kind? In the light of the recent inauguration of the French-Japanese Innovation year, we will have guests sharing their views about this collaboration. Speakers :  Frédérique MACAREZ, Deputy-Mayor, Economic Development Agency of Saint-Quentin  Xavier BASSET, Founder, Hoomano  Sylvain BILHAUD, who will represent Severine RENGNET, Mobility and Systems Project manager, MADEELI  Sébastien CAGNON, Head of Technical Support Japan, Aldebaran (Softbank Group) Moderator : Robin RIVATON, Economist, author of “How to relaunch the French industry through Robotics” Registration here (limited seating) The panel discussion will be followed by a Q&A and networking sessions.
