The FUTUR.E.S Innovation Festival (formerly Futur en Seine) organized by the Cap Digital competitiveness cluster will take place this year from June 21 to 23 at the Grande Halle de la Villette in Paris. This year, the issue of digital inclusion is addressed, particularly from the perspective of disability. This theme will be integrated in a transversal way: "The projects presented have a specific as well as a universal scope of use, that's why you will find demos in a transversal way, "included" in each of the five other tracks, in addition to a specific space". Startups offering inclusive digital solutions and services will be present and the theme of disability will be the subject of several conferences.
