Lionel FAUCHER
Fondateur & Dirigeant, AKAMEDIA - Newspusher / Muzikplugger / The VIP Room
Technologies are changing our environment and open immense opportunities of interactions and transactions in real time.
With a strong technological background and an old interest for innovation and science, I experienced the impact of the Internet in the print industry and the difficulties of its leaders to embrace the change happening. After many industries like transport, tourism, banking, print & music, the broadcast industry is The next one to be challenged!
Beyond the development of Akamedia, I like to share my experience within international conferences about content production and distribution (Discop 2008, Cepic 2009), metadata management (IPTC/Ifra 2009) and new media business model. I also regularly lecture in Entrepreneurship majors in Business and Engineering graduate schools.
