INRIA is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year and is honoring all the men and women who, from 1967 to 2017, have made Inria what it is.
They went through INRIA
In its highlight series, They went through INRIA, Bonitasoft CEO Miguel Valdes Faura is featured. From 2001 to 2003, Miguel discovered the possibility of conducting comprehensive research, connecting to the international scientific world by attending conferences, purchasing new technologies to remain at the cutting edge, rubbing shoulders with pluralist teams.
With INRIA experience and knowledge as a springboard, Miguel moved to Bull where he learned a new profession: business process management. And In 2009, as Bull did not want to finance a spin-off, he left with two other people from my team and to create Bonitasoft.
