Corporate Social Responsibility
OUR FIELD: DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY
Expertise since 2004
Initially specialized in computer equipment rental, our company has evolved over 20 years to become a leader in the event sector, offering software solutions, production services, and personalized support.
Technologies & human
As a services company we invest more in a qualified human support rather than technological processes automation.

As much as the aviation sector, that is 4% of the global greenhouse gas emission. Our commitment to a sustainable and ethical digital technology is a true conviction in our future strategy.
OUR BUSINESS SECTOR: EVENTS
Our clients
purposes

The sector ecological
footprint
Disastrous? The ecological of one event cost is due to the non-durability of the project: the single use is on top of the old world’s behaviours list.
Hybrid, here to serve
the transition
An opportunity. The lockdown phase allowed us to change our field habits. A big part of the events sector emissions – transport – is re-evaluated by new hybrid uses.
