he public sector (public administrations and public enterprises) had 5.66 million employees in 2017, i.e. nearly 20% of the working population in France. To respond to the many changes in society, this sector must integrate strong changes linked in particular to the energy transition, the digital boom, the reduction in state grants, the new expectations of citizens, etc. In this context, professional meetings are privileged moments for public actors to discuss good practices and meet private actors who can support them in their transformations.
