Darodes (男主管)

our three missions: 

1) France Tres Haut Debit 2013-2022 plan to spread internet across France (now only 25% population is covered with internet connection).  This is an important program for us because we believe for economic reasons it is very important to have full coverage of broadband.

2) La French Tech French Tech Initiative to promote the ecosystem of French startups and economy. 

3) Programme Societe Numerique Foster Digital Society: make sure everyone in the society could participate in "digital revolution". 

We’re young (this agency is only 1yr old). 45 people

what’s the relationship btw digital agency and digital council 

Amal

90% of our job are focusing on our main missions.

day to day

Darodes (男主管)

Our relationship with CNNum is only informal because digital agency is only a smart part inside the ministry of economy. 

It’s a good time to rethink our relationship and agency with the coming  national election next yr.

 

Pierre?, 

Although we’re a national institution, we have local partners. 

The digital society program has four programs (照片後補):

1) Coordinating local strategies on digital uses and services 

2) Promoting a digital skills voucher: .  If you are a french designer you have to learn your computer skill somewhere.  We can give you a voucher and you can learn it anywhere.

3) Supporting digital literacy stakeholders and national-wide programs.  What could be a stakeholder? it could be a public library, private companies with computer where everybody can come and use it.  Everyone that participates in digital agency is considered a stakeholder.  There are big differences in different regions for everybody to use the public services.  If there are good programs in for example in the libraries we can identify it and try to scale it up to other parts of the nation.

4) we just launched a laboratory to deepen our understanding of the digital transformation last week.  We funded a nation-wide ??? the aim is to combine academic research and government data to find out how to use and how to use better digital tools.

Amal

the lab has a mission of how data is collected and how to use it. and think how to use data more qualitatively. 

Is there already any feedback from other ministries?

Pierre

Yes, it is an open process and everyone is welcomed to submit a research.

Darodes

潘國材

how do you allocate your resource? how you make decision if the proposal made by civil society may not be the main mission of digital agency? 

Amal

Amal

How do you ensure the equality of promoting digital usages among for example different schools?

Audrey

for K12 students: we give incentive for standard schools to help them transfer to digital eduction. 

Amal

What we have achieved: 

Aaron 

Can you tell more about what challenges you face as promoting digital equality? 

Pierre

the biggest challenge is MONEY. We’re lucky that local communities are active.

Aaron 

Is there any problem finding the ppl to train others? 

O?

No, the real challenge is not about ppl. 

Pierre

how to link btw traditional civil groups and technical groups. how to incl. traditional NGOs into digital services.

自白: my experience is that classical NGO despises these new, young approaches while the new young thought the established ones are not challenging enough! 

PM5

The crisis we met in 2014 did help to foster the communication btw different generations. After that, we even notice that the older generations are also seeking new ways on their own to adjust to this new age.
