TRUMP, MAGA, opportunités pour attirer en Europe et en France, des hommes de sciences Américains ne souhaitant plus travailler aux Etats-Unis : The New York Time = There’s something very 2024 America about the emerging MAGA public health agenda. With President-elect Donald Trump naming Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — a former Democrat known for his vaccine skepticism — as his potential pick to lead the nation’s health apparatus, we are firmly in new territory, even for Trump. Kennedy not only lacks medical credentials, he is a determined outsider when it comes to the nation’s public health system. That may be a feature rather than a bug for the new administration. As Tony Mills, a senior fellow at the conservative American Enterprise Institute, explains in a guest essay, an outsider perspective is arguably a defining characteristic of many of Trump’s potential health appointees. There’s a shared distrust of scientific expertise and establishment norms. “The emergent MAGA science policy agenda, driven by skepticism and anti-elitism, blends familiar conservative and libertarian ideas with a suspicion of expert power once more associated with the left,” writes Mills. “The result is a uniquely American brand of populism that has the potential to fundamentally reshape national politics.” Mills traces the history that got us to this point. That Republicans would emerge from a historic pandemic more skeptical of achievements like vaccines — even those championed by Trump’s own Operation Warp Speed — was not inevitable, but it’s where we are now. This new wave of leadership could transform the country’s scientific landscape, but in what way remains unknown. “Were this animus channeled into constructive policies and reforms, it could offer a needed corrective,” Mills writes. “In its unvarnished form, however, it is more radical than conservative, more destructive than constructive and more corrosive than restorative.” Aux Européens de faire marcher les transferts dans l'autre sens, Jordan Bohannon, Guest Essay The Next Four Years Are an Experiment in MAGA Science If there’s a thread tying this coalition together, it’s suspicion of expertise and elitism., By M.

Our record-level assets under management of €2,116bn and high net inflows of €17bn demonstrate the trust clients placed in us at the end of Q1 2024. These numbers also show that Amundi has had an intense start of the year with both commercial momentum and development initiatives in line with our strategic plan. We were indeed able to combine organic and external growth. ➡️This quarter our net #inflows were very balanced across the main client segments, expertise and geographies. This demonstrates the good positioning of our range of solutions, which has allowed us to respond effectively to the needs of our clients. ➡️This activity is also reflected in our profitability: the net #income, up +6% year-on-year, reached €318m, driven by the increase of our net management fees and by controlling our costs. ➡️Eventually, our commitment to expanding our offering led us to finalizing the acquisition of Alpha Associates ahead of schedule, and enhancing our multi-management capabilities in private debt, infrastructures, and private equity. We've also inked a strategic partnership with Victory Capital, paving the way to strengthen our #US asset management expertise and our presence in the US. Thanks again to our clients for your trust and to our teams who have once again proven their commitment.

🔉 After this inspiring edition of the "Giverny de la Gouvernance" organized last week by the Cercle de Giverny in Paris, let's remember that the governance will anchor, guide and steer the sustainability strategy of companies only if it is well established at ALL levels of an organization without exception.   👉 🗓 Each governance body has its role to play and Sustainability must be on the agenda of each of them several times a year to make this strategic vision operational: ✨Board of Directors, Supervisory Board, ✨Committees (Audit & Risks, Nomination & Remuneration, Sustainability), ✨Advisory Boards, ✨Executive committee, ✨Internal Sustainability Steering Committee, ✨Internal Functional meetings (Strategy, Operations, Purchasing, Marketing, R&D, Innovation, Legal, Communication, Human Resources, etc.) and ✨Committed groups of employees (whether they are called Sustainability Ambassadors, Sustainability Champions, Sustainability Tribes...)   🎯 The complementarity of all such governance bodies will create the by-in for a sustainable vision and strategy, the courageous co-responsibility in the actions and the collaborative development of competences for success!   🙏 I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who participate to the Bridgepoint Sustainability Committee as NEDs (Dame Carolyn McCall and Angeles Garcia-Poveda) for their supportive and challenging vision.   👏 Thanks to all those who play the key role of "Sustainability Board Member"- systematically appointed in the first 6 months within Bridgepoint’s portfolio companies and could be NEDs, Members of the Executive Committee or Bridgepoint representatives. I’m very gratefull to work and collaborate with them all to create more sustainable value creation for their companies and their stakeholders - See some inspiring leaders' names in comments.

We are in the age of self-service so having French patients declare on their own the sick leaves of a maximum 7 days makes total sense. After all, the Brits did it and survived :) The cost-benefit if just 10% of the 68 mil. French take just one such leave per year, counting 5 minutes to operate this in a system: more than 1/2 mil. hours of low-value-added work of the medical professionals saved. At the minimum SMIC of 11.65 EUR/hr, we're talking almost 6 mil. EUR/yr. A drop in a a bucket or a smart move? #rh #hr #cristinamihai https://lnkd.in/ezxXBs25

The Grand Est Region of France has signed a #concession agreement with the Nova 14 #consortium to reopen the 75-kilometer Nancy – Contrexéville line, which has been closed since 2016, for passenger service and to maintain the infrastructure during the 22-year concession period. The Nova 14 #consortium includes companies #NGEConcessions (50%), Transdev (20%), and Banque des Territoires (30%) (part of the Groupe Caisse des Dépôts). The signing of the concession agreement also led to the financial closure of €200 million for the 22-year concession period. The European Investment Bank (EIB) will provide a loan for 50% of the total amount, while CIC, La Banque Postale , Caisse d'Epargne Ile-de-France, and NORD/LB will provide the remaining amount in equal shares. #UII #Rebuilding #Ukraine #Reconstruction #Rebuild #investinukraine #donors #publicprivatepartnerships #infrastructure #projectfinance #infrastructureprojects #DueDiligence #infrastructurefinance #investment #investing #FinancialResearch #Projectfunding #CapitalInvestment #InfrastructureInvesting #ESG #PPP #PublicFinance #investproject #institutionalinvestors #investmentmanager

📣 Nicolas Darnaud, Co-Head of Buyout France & Managing Director, took part in Les Echos Capital Finance LBO Conference on the topic "Boosting transactional mechanics on a sustainable basis ". Alongside Vincent Catherine (Sienna Private Equity) Francois Dontot (Intralinks) and Julia PERRONI (Houlihan Lokey) Nicolas Darnaud answered the following questions: ◉ How can we capitalize on the rebound in investment and sell-offs in France in the second half of 2023? ◉ To what extent are LBO funds able to project their holdings into the future, in the face of an uncertain macro-economic and geopolitical context? ◉ How can we decode valuation balances and financing conditions over the coming months? "It's a good time to start a business. Companies have been affected by many hazards: Covid, political instability, war, inflation, rising interest rates, but in this period of permanent uncertainty, they have proved their resilience. As the macro-economic situation regularizes, high-performance companies backed by solid fundamentals will create significant value and be attractive investment opportunities."
