“C’est lors de la mission Smart City Business France menée conjointement avec BPI France et la Société Générale que nous avons pu entrer en contact avec ENGIE Middle East basé aux Émirats Arabes Unis. Seulement quelques mois plus tard, nous travaillons déjà sur la construction d’une joint-venture et la vente de près de 1 000 robots. L’efficacité de la mise en relation avec les bons interlocuteurs est telle que nous avons décidé de renforcer nos interventions lors des événements organisés par Business France, notamment en participant au French Tech Tour India ou au WFES en janvier 2018 à Dubaï.”
