Videos of Netexplo Forum on http://imag-netexplo.org

Since Netexplo began in 2007, we’ve seen Skype, Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare and Groupon break out and transform the way we interact, communicate or shop.

But what will the next wave of digital innovation bring? Could emerging uses of tech like WordLens, GreenGoose, Kiip, Zeebox or E-Sense revolutionize society and business too?
Discover the highlights of a year’s observation of digital society and the new faces of tech at the 2012 Netexplo Forum, UNESCO, Paris.
