From Gustave Eiffel’s Panhard Levassor to autonomous vehicles, from thermometers of the 1900s to smart medical devices… our mission remains constant: to build confidence in emerging technologies, in order to protect citizens and consumers, but also to support our country’s industrial competitiveness. A mission sometimes tinged with challenges of resilience, as was the case in the aftermath of the two world wars and as is the case today as we face a constantly changing world.
