Conference: ESG Tech Talks - Critères ESG et Hypercroissance 🇪🇺 Discussion among IAE Nice Graduate School of Management, Università degli Studi di Torino, Seed Capital Pro, La French Tech Côte d'Azur at CCI Nice Côte d'Azur. With Caroline LEHOUX we went through the #ESG concept for enterprises. Nicole Dujany talked about public policies and a change of paradigm: public investors should look at solutions with the better impact on societies, not only at innovation and profitability. A good #TwinTransition is a priority for the #EU. Stefano Pirilli reflected on the multiple challenges that organizations are facing at once - ESG, #AI and human collaboration, #sustainability, #hypergrowth, #twintransition, #dualuse (ex: military and civilian) - and how some investors are skeptical now about ESG. Giancarlo Puddu talked about five dimensions threatening the ESG practices. Profs Ulrike Mayrhofer and Elisabeth Walliser reflected on how conciliating ESG and hypergrowth in an international context through relevant case studies. Thanks to the speakers for the enriching session. Will go back home with a doubt in mind: in this global context giving bigger and bigger challenges to #Environment, #Social and #Governance dimensions, do we need different supranational dynamics to cope with them?
True energy and depth of dialogue: open, not polarized, between ethics, sustainability, and technology. A meaningful step forward in the #TwinTransition 🇪🇺 journey in Nice, where I’ve breathed genuine innovation. My apologies for the delay in expressing my thanks — especially to you, Simone — but I truly wanted to write today: thank you, and thanks to everyone for the human and professional quality of this experience. Your questions and insights were very valuable to me, and you, Simone, fueled the dialogue with the right mix of human and professional intelligence.
Thanks, Simone, for your participation in this event sponsored by our project ESG TECH TALKS, Interreg France-Italia ALCOTRA.

1wI love your final question: it keeps the spirit of that great discussion in Nice alive. As I tried to say in Nice, we don’t need new supranational dynamics, but more systemic intelligence within the existing ones. True leadership means having the courage to face tough questions, because being able to answer is the common root of both professor and profession: pro‑fiteor, i.e. (who is able...) “to speak publicly.” It means being ready to engage, to reply, not to dominate. It’s not about a one‑way flood of words, but about being ready, and humble enough, to answer. Culture, not coercion, opens minds. 🇪🇺
