May 2007: ESSEC Asian Center actor of the French Festival Voilah! in Singapore.

Singapore and France have enjoyed a long and fruitful relationship which has enabled French citizens and French companies to settle and prosper in this City-State, bringing the French community today to more than five thousand. The French Chamber of Commerce in Singapore (FCCS) presents Voilah! French Festival Singapore 2007 - a series of exciting events and festivities organised with the support of the French Embassy, local French companies and established Singaporean institutions - to celebrate the friendship between France and Singapore.
One of these events will be the "Connecting France and Singapore Symposium" on High Tech and Innovation, on May 21 and 22. This 2-day symposium will be introduced by Claude Allègre. Numerous French innovative companies have their Asia Pacific Regional Head Office in Singapore and are developing joint projects and R&D programmes here. Business experts from leading high tech and biomedical industrial French companies will then conduct a series of discussions together with French and Singaporean scientists and professors to find out more about their latest technological achievements, research progress, design innovations, future development plans for Singapore and the region, and the way to manage them. Examples of French technology will also be showcased, alongside product demos, company presentations and sites visits. The ESSEC Asian Center has been part of the organization staff and Prof. Christian Koenig, the director, will be one of the speakers.
