Afnic has joined as of February 2021 the Renaissance Numérique think tank, one of its long-standing partners.
Created in 2005, the Renaissance Numérique think tank is chaired by Henri Isaac and brings together researchers, associations, major companies and start-ups to reflect on the challenges of the digital transition of our society from an economic, social and political point of view. Renaissance Numérique has addressed the different aspects of the digital transition of society for a number of years with the belief that the Internet represents an opportunity for citizens and political and economic actors alike.
