The 100 Club

We are currently experiencing an incredibly innovative period marked by change. THE BRIDGE as an event is very ambitious, especially in its entrepreneurism. It invites leaders and decision-makers to shut themselves up for six days - which is really rather exceptional - to reflect together on the position of their companies in a world that is shifting and experiencing major changes. The aim will be for us to write, with the collaboration of experts, young people and visionaries, the basis for a common project on the place and role of the company of tomorrow.

Patricia BROCHARD Co-president of Sodebo and sponsor of the 100 Club.

Companies are built around projects and new challenges and this is exactly what symbolises this great event THE BRIDGE, which we have the pleasure, the honour and the pride to support. We were looking for a new way of promoting the band and THE BRIDGE is the ideal tool with its values, with which we totally identify: passion, a taste for adventure, sharing experiences.

Christian BUTON CEO of RÉAUTÉ CHOCOLAT

This project, which we liked from the start, aims to bring together many players from all walks of life, in a co-constructive model, to reflect on themes for the future: the company of tomorrow. Within REALITES, we are open-minded and above all, we are very aware of the economic environment. We have to be quick and accountable to all partners, managers and collaborators.
