Several newly launched initiatives in the U.S. and other countries aim to allow governments to mine our personal data at border crossings. Legislation in the U.S. and Australia would give governments great freedom to search – and in some cases seize – our personal electronic devices.

U.S. Homeland Security can now seize laptops and other electronic devices taken across the border and hold them for an indefinite period, copying hard drives without need of warrants or probable cause.

Thirty years of expertise in emerging information and communication technologies

L’Atelier was designed to bring innovative ideas and business-changing opportunities to industries within the banking sector from the moment it was created in 1978 at Compagnie Bancaire (a precursor to BNP Paribas).

Soon after L’Atelier’s creation, the banking Group let its customers and partners benefit from its activities. L’Atelier’s focus on emerging innovations and their significance was shared to companies and individuals. L’Atelier therefore became a place where people meet and exchange ideas while providing further insight into the implication of emerging technologies. The result ultimately translates into how ideas relate to innovation and can be applied to companies profitably.

Currently, L’Atelier continues to track developments and identify new opportunities. We are the place where companies involved in innovational projects from every business sector meet and pool their expertise.

A respected observer of developments in France, L’Atelier opened a San Francisco office in 2005 and one in Shanghai in 2007. Moving forward, L’Atelier is well positioned in the center of our changing world.
