Sir, Madam, dear shareholder,
Specialising in the digital vision business, i2S designs
innovative solutions based on optics and image-processing cameras and software
with a high technology content.
Our customer base, like our know-how, is broad and diversified: private
players and large public service departments, integrators and parts
manufacturers (OEM), scientific research centres, libraries and museums,
players in large national or European industrial projects… To each of them,
i2S offers over 20 years of experience and an innovative approach
which have allowed it to be at the origin of many "World Firsts".
Our technologies lie at the heart of the great economic and cultural
challenges. The market for the digitisation of our written heritage, for
example, is directly linked to the revolution in access to knowledge which is
being brought about by suppliers of online content and software designers.
Similarly, development in the means of communication and the phenomenon of
digital convergence, in which the image occupies an ever-growing place, opens
numerous development prospects to i2S’ business.
As the French market leader in digital vision systems, i2S earned
in 2009 53% of its turnover abroad, and wants to rely on this worldwide
coverage to intensify its development, principally in the direction of high
use value markets like transport safety, sport, Biomedicine or even the media.
For i2S and all its teams, the admission of i2S to Euronext-Alternext
represented a strategic stage which is set in an ambitious long-term
programme supported by values and a plan. I therefore welcome all who will
join and support us as a shareholder within our development.
