Netexplo, an independent observatory that studies the impact of digital tech on society and business, has been a UNESCO partner since 2011. It was created in 2007 by Martine Bidegain and Thierry Happe with the support of the French Senate and Ministry of Innovation and the Digital Economy.

The Netexplo Observatory takes a unique, innovative approach to the study of digital society. Through its international spotting network, made up of globally renowned universities in the technology sphere, Netexplo explores the world for new uses of digital tech.

In November 2017, UNESCO and Netexplo have signed an agreement to renew their cooperation for the upcoming 4 years.

The event will showcase 10 breakthrough digital innovations from a pool of 2000 others spotted worldwide through the Netexplo University Network. Innovators and experts will offer insights from Artificial Intelligence, big data, biotech, IOT, gaming, cybersecurity, robotics, blockchain, social media and 3D printing.

The underlying theme of the event will provide a reflection upon the relation between humans and technologies and the future developments that can take place.
