Kévin Cortial et Nicolas Sauzéat, OpenStudio

OpenStudio is a French digital company founded in 2005, specialising in web development and AI. With more than 400 projects to its name, its activities also extend to R&D. In collaboration with the University of Clermont Auvergne, the University of Franche Comté and the École des Mines de Saint-Étienne, they are developing a modeling and simulation tool to support the transformation of European industrial sectors.

This is a tool combining various artificial intelligence algorithms, making it possible to evaluate the productive value chains for a given industrial sector, with the aim of helping economic actors to anticipate and face the numerous transformation challenges. industrial (legislative, environmental, technological), in order to increase the economic resilience and agility of all players in the sector.

A graduate of the University of Lyon 2 in Mathematics applied to the Economy, Nicolas SAUZÉAT became a Data Scientist and began a thesis in Industrial Engineering and Management Sciences at the École des Mines de Saint-Étienne. The theme of the thesis is to model the transformation of productive value networks in order to make industrial sectors more agile and resilient.

A graduate of Clermont Auvergne University in Mathematics and Computer Science applied to Human and Social Sciences, Kévin CORTIAL continued his studies in Data Science. He joined OpenStudio in 2020 and is currently carrying out a CIFRE thesis on graph learning methods applied to industrial resilience with OpenStudio and the Pascal Institute of UCA.

Emmanuel Flachaire, University of Aix-Marseille

Professor of Economics at ASME, his research focuses on the interface between econometrics and artificial intelligence, both from a theoretical point of view and as applied to the study of inequalities. A recognised specialist in his field, he gives numerous courses, seminars and conferences.
