Professional integration

The development of digital technologies has disrupted the organization of traditional sectors, starting with the traditional telecommunications and Internet sector and then the media and communication sector. The growing digitalization of many sectors of economic activity (energy, transport and mobility, health, finance) reinforces the need for the analysis and evaluation skills provided by the "Digital Economy" program. There are therefore many job opportunities for students and the growth in these needs over the next few years should be particularly sustained. In addition, the "Digital Economy" program has been supported for several years by all of the companies in the IDATE Foundation, which includes the biggest players in the digital economy. This support translates into internship opportunities for students in numerous companies and other institutions.
