Our school is a member of Pays Basque Digital, the digital business cluster for the Basque Country and the Pays de l'Adour region. A highly active cluster, it is organising the Digital Professions Forum on 5 October 2023 at ESTIA.
What is the Pays Basque Digital Cluster?
The Pays Basque Digital Cluster is a business network representing around 1,500 skilled jobs and over 150 million euros in revenue. It brings together more than 60 companies specialising in digital technology: digital services companies (ESN — entreprises de services numériques), software publishers, data centres, web agencies, pure-players, and start-ups specialising in artificial intelligence and connected objects.
What makes this cluster stand out is how extraordinarily active it is, and its genuine commitment to championing a region too often viewed through folkloristic clichés rather than for its real digital expertise. That is precisely what is being championed here. The cluster follows a clear, determined direction, organised around concrete actions and guided by choices such as responsible digital practices and cybersecurity.
The cluster fosters mutual support and cross-promotion, deeply rooted in the Basque Country's values of solidarity and the shared desire to grow our region together. We are therefore very proud to be part of this virtuous dynamic, which is never short of events to share…
Spotlight on the Digital Professions Employment Forum
A first of its kind: we are taking part in the Digital Professions Employment Forum on 5 October at ESTIA, from 3:30 pm to 7:00 pm. By September, 250 secondary school students had already registered for the event to meet 20 companies, take part in a job dating session with 10 companies, and apply for more than 17 open positions. The majority of the 10 companies are members of Pays Basque Digital and French Tech Pays Basque: Exakis Nelite, Aguila Technologies, Izarlink, Envea, Maritime Systems, Maltem Insight Aurea, Maarch Xelians, FMS and Adaxis.
We will be running our Digital Campus stand in the Training Organisations zone.
