Val-au-Perche hosts the first edition of NEC, an event on data security and digital sovereignty
Published
The town of Val-au-Perche, in the Orne department, will host the first edition of NEC, "Numérique en commun" ("Digital in Common"), on Friday 6 November. The event is organised for the Orne and the Perche region. It focuses on two important themes: data security and digital sovereignty.
Data security concerns the protection of personal and professional information stored on the internet or on electronic devices. Digital sovereignty, for its part, refers to the ability of a country, a local authority or an organisation to control its tools, services and digital data without depending entirely on external actors. These issues are increasingly present in the lives of individuals, businesses and public services.
With this first edition, NEC aims to bring together residents, local stakeholders and people interested in digital issues in rural areas. The aim is to take stock of these challenges at the level of a region. Practical information about the programme and how to take part was not detailed in the initial announcement.
The holding of this meeting shows that digital issues occupy a growing place in rural areas of France. People who wish to learn more can consult the information published by the town of Val-au-Perche or by the event's organisers.
