Replay of the Source.paris x Bpifrance round table discussion

Design as a driver of growth, with the participation of Bpifrance, Devialet, Ledger and Source.paris.

On 26 September 2025, we organised a round table discussion with Bpifrance to answer a key question: how does design, far beyond aesthetics, become a strategic lever for business acquisition, retention and growth?

The replay is now available in full on our YouTube channel.

An unfiltered discussion, rich in convictions on:

  • Design as a founding decision

  • The triptych of Design x Tech x Product

  • The courage to say ‘no’ in order to strive for excellence

  • And the impact of AI on our professions

With experience feedback from:

  • Jean-Baptiste Kaloya - VP / Head of Design, Bpifrance

  • Cyril Labidi - Director of Hardware, Ledger

  • Guillaume Mathias - Executive VP Product, Ledger

  • Jean-Loup Afresne - CTPO, Devialet

  • Maxime Frere - Partner and Principal Designer, Source.paris
