Mission & Goals
Renaissance Numérique is an independent think tank dedicated to the digital transformation of society. Its aim is to build a fairer, more inclusive, democratic and sustainable digital society. It provides an exclusive forum for discussion, analysis and meetings to debate and inform choices for a responsible digital society. We bring together members with a wide range of expertise (political, economic, legal, communications, technical, sociological, etc.) and structures (independent experts, consultancies, law firms, non-governmental organisations, universities, institutions, businesses, etc.). This diversity of players and points of view makes Renaissance Numérique a forum for debate, a space for positive confrontation of ideas, which is unique in the landscape of think tanks and digital players in France and Europe. Founded in 2005, Renaissance Numérique is a non–profit association registered under French law. We are not affiliated with any political party, company or organisation.
