Could you introduce yourself?, , My name is Camille Chollet. I am a web product manager in the Internet department of Banque Populaire de l'Ouest., What is your organisation's main activity?, , Banque Populaire de l'Ouest was founded by craftspeople and traders who wanted to support one another in growing their businesses. It has retained from its origins a genuine culture of mutual support for the creation and development of projects. Its bancassurance activity spans all markets: individuals, professionals and businesses.
What do you see as the strength of the digital network in your city and region?, The Brittany region, and the Rennes area in particular, is buzzing with new ideas and projects around new technologies. The 'Telecom' culture of the Rennes basin has enabled many start-ups working in digital to emerge. I also think that the large student population in Rennes, through their new practices, helps drive the adoption of new technologies and fosters thinking around new applications. Finally, Rennes Métropole has an innovation-friendly policy. This is very encouraging for carrying out digital projects., What are the key aspects of the partnership with Digital Campus — what joint projects are planned for the coming year?, By taking part in Digital Campus's Mardis à Projets (Project Tuesdays), Banque Populaire de l'Ouest aims to:, give students practical and professional experience by letting them lead a real commercial project, discover the new web talents of tomorrow, support digital players in the Rennes area — and Digital Campus is a major one, as it contributes to training people and making web practices more accessible,
