Europe parlementaire looks at topical issues and features the viewpoints of experts and practitioners from the telecoms sector and the digital economy alongside those of parliamentarians and government representatives.
It is stimulating to combine the two perceptions of the information and media society. Policymakers and business leaders differ in their vocabulary, analytical frameworks and approaches, but ultimately both stakeholders are seeking the same result: to have an impact on society.
Through interviews and articles, drafted in collaboration with leading experts, the magazine looks at the major trends influencing the future of the sector. The new issue is an opportunity for political and economic actors from the telecoms and new media market to showcase their action, achievements and future projects, and publicise that information to their regional, national and European partners.

This issue was produced in partnership with France Télécom, Altitude, Eutelsat, Adobe, SAP, Infotel and other companies, Infogreffe and other organisations. Issue 2 is dedicated to new strategic issues in electronic communications and features:

This issue is an opportunity to focus on several key issues and to feature the viewpoints of experts and practitioners from telecommunications and the digital economy alongside those of parliamentarians and government representatives. It is not easy to combine the two perceptions of the information and media society, because policymakers and business have different sensibilities and do not always employ the same vocabulary, the same analytical frameworks, or the same methods, even if ultimately both stakeholders are seeking the same result: to have an impact on society.

Through interviews and articles, drafted in collaboration with leading experts, this issue will look at the major trends influencing the future of this sector.

This special issue is an opportunity for political and economic actors from the telecoms and new media market to showcase their action, achievements and future projects, and publicise that information to their regional, national and European partners.
