ICT. Spotlight on 3D technologies in Seine-Saint-Denis, from 1 to 3 June

From 1 to 3 June 2010, for the second year running, Seine-Saint-Denis will be hosting Dimension 3 at Dock Pullman – an international forum dedicated to S-3D technologies, augmented reality and virtual reality.

The forum, which is co-organised by the agency Avance Rapide Communication and the economic development agency Seine-Saint-Denis Avenir, comprises three main strands:
-A three-day programme of talks and workshops for professionals in the sector
-An exhibition area for demonstrating and showcasing products
-A film festival, Dimension 3 Festival, the first international festival presenting feature films, short films, documentaries and event broadcasts using 3D technologies.

With Dimension 3, an event designed to promote economic, professional and international development in the technical, economic, scientific and cultural issues relating to S-3D imaging, the Seine-Saint-Denis region is positioning itself in a highly dynamic market – as Marie Hélène Tramus, a lecturer at Paris 8 University in Seine-Saint-Denis and leader of the digital imaging and virtual reality research group in the imaging arts and technologies laboratory, confirms: “For us, Dimension 3 is an opportunity to showcase our expertise and our scientific research in the fields of synthetic and high-tech imaging. We are especially delighted that this year the département of Seine Saint-Denis has given us free rein to celebrate 25 years of our course and our research laboratory as part of this international forum”.

Seine-Saint-Denis gears up to attract businesses

Seine-Saint-Denis gears up to attract businesses.Helped by some strong selling points and affordable real estate prices, the département's economic development agency Seine-Saint-Denis Future plans to make the most of the crisis to convince new businesses to set up in Seine-Saint-Denis. The agency has been set up to replace the economic expansion committee, now dissolved, and will have a budget of approximately €3 million. While Seine-Saint-Denis enjoys a privileged position to the east and north of Paris, making it Paris Region's third département in the number of business start-ups, there are nonetheless significant geographic disparities within the department itself. The Chairman of the departmental council (Conseil Général) therefore has the job of balancing the department's economic development to enable the area and excluded sections of the population to benefit. Seine-Saint-Denis Future will act as a gateway for businesses to move into the department and a driving force behind the economy of Seine-Saint-Denis.
