JFIAC 2026: Round Table 2

AI for monitoring early access: Dissemination and initial feedback from the Dante project

Join us at 10:25 AM at the Ministry of Economy and Finance on Friday, September 4.

Advanced cases, challenges, and perspectives

Data from French early access programs represent a global opportunity. They are often the first data points showing how innovation is adopted by an ecosystem—first-in-the-world data, highly coveted and closely observed. In light of the launch of the Dante project, what are the key lessons that allow us to move faster toward increased completion rates and higher quality? Is there a way to objectively measure the quality of the data produced to amplify this opportunity on a national scale?
