Join us for an exciting conversation with filmmaker and environmentalist Yann Arthus-Bertrand and serial entrepreneur and philanthropist Alexandre Mars.
“Making the world a better place” isn’t an empty startup motto. Come hear from two engaging thought leaders from various backgrounds–an artist and a serial entrepreneur–who are both pushing the boundaries of what it means to be “human” and how we can all do more for mankind.
PARISOMA is proud to host this breakfast and morning talk moderated by Dominique Piotet, CEO of FABERNOVEL US.
