Dear Friends of CEIBS, 

We cordially invite you to attend our Executive Forum on September 26, 2018, where Mr. Fabrice Boyer, CEO of Altran China & East Asia, will share his insights on “R&D Forces Shaping a New World Order”. 

Technological innovation is disrupting all industries, triggering a comprehensive rethink of development and production processes. Externalized R&D and engineering services are becoming the norm. To sharpen their competitive edge, companies are looking for global partners with world-class cross-industry skills and expertise in the very latest technologies.

Altran, as the undisputed global leader in Engineering and R&D services (ER&D) and with 45,000 engineers located in more than 30 countries, works alongside its clients, from initial concept through to industrialisation to invent the products and services of tomorrow. 

Today, the ER&D market transformation is driven by:

• an avalanche of disruptions brought on by digital, AI, connectivity, and autonomisation;
• the accelerated growth rate in high-tech areas such as software, life sciences, semiconductors, and automotive, reaching double-digit levels in the US and Asia; and,
• the geographic mismatch in talent where currently 60% of R&D budgets are spent in the US, Western Europe, and Japan, while only 20% of engineers graduate in these geographies.

In his lecture, Mr. Boyer will elaborate on how R&D forces are shaping a new world order and how it applies to China.

You will also get a chance to discover how Altran, as a smart partner of industry players, goes beyond the industry’s traditional capacity augmentation model by helping clients decide what to do, helping them do it, and doing it for them.

With more than 15 years of experience in the ER&D industry, Mr. Boyer is Chief Executive Officer of Altran China & East Asia. He was formerly Managing Director of Altran UK and General Manager of Altran North America. 

We look forward to seeing you at this much anticipated event.
