It allows you to communicate and immerse yourself into stories that you won't be able access in reality. Let's imagine a better future and communicate about it via this immersive device. Maybe it can change our collective imagery ?

Rémi Sabouraud
Codesigner in Creativity
Goût d'idées / Codesign-it!
France
After some time at Endemol creative studios, I was convinced that creativity is an individual power which, once organized in a collective way, permits organizations to change. So I went abroad mainly (USA, Denmark, Italy…) to train myself at managing the creative process. Through Goût d’idées and Codesign-it!, I have worked with companies and institutions for over ten years on innovation. As a facilitator, I conceive custom-made creativity workshops and smart immersions, permitting the teams to reinvent themselves, and to search for and develop and new concepts and services.

Ludovic Sinet
Tech Explorer
Good Tech Lab
France
Ludovic is exploring at Good Tech Lab how science, technology & governance can work together for positive impact at a global level. After 3 years in Paris co-building organisations that support entrepreneurship in deeptech (Hello Tomorrow, the citizen science lab La Paillasse) and the cultural industry (Créatis), he got convinced that innovation ecosystems must embrace sustainability issues and take on fully their political role, as any new technology can break the society's balance of power. Hence, understanding global dynamics is the first step on this road.

Kolektiv Lapso Cirk

I'm a circus artist always eager to explore new fields. Most recently it's been all about sound, trying to make circus through the use of audio alone. Blending reality with fiction using simple technology. It's an extension of my practice as a balancer, going in and out of control. A fine line between the known and the unknown.

More than 30 years in the sports industry. I became an entrepreneur to have a greater influence on this industry which creates more value every day but forgets to redistribute it, which is its very essence. Founded Sponsorise.me in 2013 to offer a unique model by uniting brands and consumers around a common and compelling goal: to assist sport project owners, from individuals to professional teams, in finding financial support via their communities and beyond. This approach has successfully attracted several French and international brands, such as Coca Cola, Intersport, BNP Paribas, Cofidis, AG2R, and Société Générale.
