Coordinator of the IT’m Factory technology platform.

IT’mFactory is a technology platform resulting from a close partnership between CFAI Loire and Mines Saint-Étienne, thus giving it a unique character due to its multidisciplinary nature.
The objective of this space, representing a physical and virtual digital factory, is to present the essential markers of the industry of the future across several themes. It thus allows for raising awareness, training, and supporting VSEs, SMEs, and mid-caps to help them digitize their production tools.
