"From the energy transition to the digital revolution, today's huge challenges cut the boundaries between traditional sectors. It is clearer than ever that we must adapt, collaborate and find new opportunities together! That's why we created the Software République, a federation of legendary European tech companies. Today, we are particularly pleased to welcome JCDecaux to the founding club. This is further proof of the attractiveness of the Software République model. JCDecaux's unique expertise of cities, of the transport and retail environments, is a powerful asset which this major company will bring to the Software République open innovation ecosystem."

Jean-Charles Decaux, Co-Directeur Général de JCDecaux

« We are proud and excited at the idea of joining the Software République to continue and further enrich our innovation strategy, both disruptive and incremental, for the benefit of cities and citizens, airports, transport partners and passengers. We are convinced that collective intelligence and knowledge sharing will enable Software République's partners to design and then carry out great projects. We are delighted to partner with Dassault Systèmes, Eviden, Orange, Renault Group, STMicroelectronics and Thales. »

In 1964, JCDecaux was created thanks to an innova�on: the adver�sing bus shelter. And with it arrived a new business model: to create sustainable products and services financed by adver�sing that benefit ci�es, residents, and visitors. Ever since, JCDecaux has placed innova�on at the heart of its business, constantly offering its services in ci�es, to improve the quality of urban life and to develop sustainable mobility solu�ons; in transport and retail environments to enhance the travel and shopping experience.

With a truly entrepreneurial spirit, invested in data-driven digital solu�ons, engaged in an openinnova�on strategy, JCDecaux SE (Euronext Paris: DEC) is the number one outdoor adver�sing company worldwide, present in over 3,900 major ci�es across the globe.

• In-car apps for smart devices(BYOD) have been developed and are included in the Dacia range as a recently as February 2024,
