This week we're at the 2023 annual MEDEF meeting, where the largest employers' federation in France gets leaders of the country's business community together to discuss the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead – one of them being the transition to a green economy. A world leader when it comes to waste treatment and solutions is French group Veolia. Its CEO Estelle Brachlianoff told FRANCE 24's Charles Pellegrin about the solutions that waste can provide when it comes to energy.

The rise of artificial intelligence, especially generative AI, was another key issue discussed at the MEDEF meeting. In the race to fully exploit AI's capabilities, France and the EU are working hard to stay within touching distance of the US and Asia. We speak to France's Deputy Minister for Digital Transition Jean-Noël Barrot about what this means for the future of jobs.
