Signed on April 1, 2026, for a term of one year, this agreement aims to help organizations better understand, experiment with, and integrate artificial intelligence into their operations.
 

Supporting businesses through times of transformation

In an environment where artificial intelligence is emerging as a strategic driver, companies must address several challenges: building skills, adopting new tools, evolving practices, and adapting organizational structures.

Based in Seine-Saint-Denis and Val-de-Marne, the MEDEF of Eastern Paris aims to strengthen its support for its members on these issues. Through this partnership, it intends to offer them structured guidance to help them turn AI into a concrete driver of growth.

Bringing together academic expertise and real-world needs

For its part, aivancity is contributing its expertise in artificial intelligence, data, business, and ethics to this initiative.

The school takes an approach based on training, experimentation, and the practical application of technology.

This partnership is based on a shared goal: to build bridges between academia and the business world. 

Concrete steps to promote the adoption of AI

The agreement calls for the implementation of several initiatives designed to promote the adoption of artificial intelligence within organizations:

  • Assessment tools
  • Workshops and discussion sessions
  • Hackathons
  • Specialized training programs
  • Experiments based on real-world use cases

This will enable companies to identify opportunities, test different approaches, and develop their expertise on issues directly related to their business.

  • Dr. Tawhid Chtioui, Founding President of aivancity School of AI & Data for Business & Society
  • “The challenge today is no longer simply to understand artificial intelligence, but to make it useful, accessible, and practical for businesses. This partnership reflects our commitment to bridging the gap between training, innovation, and real-world needs to support a responsible transformation,” emphasizes Tawhid Chtioui. 

Building a regional ecosystem centered on digital technology and AI

Beyond operational initiatives, this partnership is part of a broader effort to build a regional ecosystem that brings together economic stakeholders and the academic community.

The creation of forums for discussion—particularly through a club dedicated to digital issues and artificial intelligence—will help foster the sharing of experiences, the dissemination of best practices, and the development of a shared culture.

A partnership dedicated to nurturing talent

This collaboration also aims to strengthen ties between companies and students, given the high demand for skills in data and artificial intelligence.

Networking initiatives will help companies connect with talent trained by aivancity, while supporting students’ transition into the workforce.
