MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Welcome to ENSA!

As we step into a new era heralded by the surge of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Generative AI, Internet of Things, Metaverse, Digital Twins, Green Cloud Computing, Cyber Resilience, Distributed Ledger Technology, Quantum Computing, or more generally Phygital Convergence, at ENSA we first owe a debt of gratitude to the past, i.e. what we have learned from it in terms of knowledge, effective process management, successes and failures. Then, we also value the unprecedented opportunities and innovations before us.

This new website is the epitome of our vision. ENSA is revisiting itself. With the same irrepressible passion and enthusiasm to tackle the new challenges of the 21st century.

We aspire to accelerate the world’s transition to a Digital Economy and Sustainable and Resilient Society (DESRS) and to support the implementation of relevant transformative solutions, in particular by integrating nature-based solutions (NBS), biodiversity, ecosystem services, and natural capital into their decision-making.

At every stage of our work we do not forget the perspectives of education – the prerequisite to building knowledge and meeting the tremendous challenges of our time – and of ethics – the collective commitment we need to reconcile the potential of technology and a certain Idea of Human.

The most important thing that makes us who we are is the assurance of our promises. This is our cornerstone since we know success is not something that comes by accident; it is not a matter of luck or fate. Success is the invisible sum of the work we do and the way we do it. Therefore, our compass is quality and trust, our guarantee is our promise.
