I³C Challenge: an interuniversity challenge to shape the cities of tomorrow
For this new edition, our Information Technology team launches a new challenge, combining finance and data analysis, to drive our future investments.
“How does hybrid work influence the dynamics of the cities of tomorrow?”
Why i3c?
It is the intersection of the four pillars of the challenge: real estate investment, innovation, interuniversity and community.
