🌍 Wavestone was proud to be a partner at the Rencontres Économiques d'Aix-en-Provence this past weekend, centered around the theme "Bridging our worlds." Our CEO, Pascal Imbert, took the stage during the session titled "𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡: 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐫 𝐍𝐨 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞?" with Shirmai Chung, Saïd Hammouche (Fondation Mozaïk) and Allan Petre (NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration) to discuss pressing issues and opportunities facing today's younger generation. Pascal addressed three critical topics: 1️⃣ 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐁𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝟐𝟎 𝐢𝐧 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒: 🔹Climate Injustice: Young people feel the weight of climate change impacting their trust in the future. 🔹#SocialMobility: Although it exists, Social mobility lags behind other OECD countries and significantly trails the pre-millennial generation. 🔹Fragmentation of the World: Increasing polarization is a significant concern. 🔹Political Disillusionment: Particularly in France, there is a sense that politics is failing to address general interests, leaving young people feeling abandoned by political mechanisms. 2️⃣ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐬: 🔹 Businesses need to recruit young talent, with 60% of companies prioritizing this. However, they face challenges in hiring and retaining engaged talents. Companies must reconnect with the youth by providing opportunities like internships, apprenticeships, and building pathways that foster engagement and learning. 3️⃣ 𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 🔹Unlike previous generations focused on money and success, today’s youth seeks meaningful work that contributes positively to the common good, especially regarding climate change. At Wavestone, we welcome ~1,000 young professionals annually. They integrate, invest, and build meaningful connections, fostering a collective that is united by shared values and goals. We believe in making a positive impact #Together! Thank you to all participants and speakers for an inspiring event! Replay ➡ https://lnkd.in/eCYQWBmH Pascal Imbert's article on L'Opinion ➡ https://lnkd.in/esEujtMA
