Sopra Steria is proud to be an official partner of ChangeNOW, the world's largest event dedicated to solutions for the planet. Every year, it brings together entrepreneurs, decision-makers, investors and engaged citizens around concrete initiatives to address the ecological and social challenges of our time.
In 2025, ChangeNOW will mark the 10th anniversary of the Paris Agreement, a key moment to reaffirm our collective commitment to tackling the climate emergency. This edition will place a special focus on tech and artificial intelligence as powerful drivers of innovation in essential areas such as health, education and climate, but also as technologies that need to be examined in terms of their carbon footprint, ethical uses and impact on our societies.
This partnership is part of our commitment to take collective action for responsible digital technology and to actively participate in an open dialogue with stakeholders in the transition. As digital experts, we are convinced that technology, when developed responsibly, is a major lever for meeting the challenges of our time. Our ambition is to promote frugal, transparent and trustworthy AI that minimises its environmental footprint while maximising its positive impact.
