Each COMPOSITE follows the same structure. A BLITZ MINUTE INSPIRATION introduces the evening: 10 digital actors each have one minute to share a project that has recently had an impact on them, inspired them, touched them... This is followed by 6 keynote presentations, each lasting 6 minutes, of projects previously selected by the COMPOSITE committee through a call for participants. They can be from the art, industry or social innovation sectors; the guiding thread is their common capacity to inspire, stimulate innovation and awaken in the spectators a desire for discovery and exploration. The event concludes with an evening of networking and discussion, allowing both presenters and participants to network and develop their respective projects.
