NATF focuses its actions by privileging the publics specifically involved in policy choices that have a strong impact on the economy and economic and social development: the regional excellence poles, R&D activities in enterprises, or promotion of new professions that result from technology transfer to new industrial sectors.

These target publics comprise elected personalities, the entrepreneurs and the professional federations (trade unions), the teachers, research workers and various regional or local authorities, representatives of main or national administrations, sister academies in France or abroad ...  

In this framework, NATF organised on an annual basis:

-         open conference-debates, with invitations to the press and media, where personalities from politics, social, social, economic or scientific walks have a forum to express their opinions.

-         A major public debate that addresses current topics and issues.

-         NATF also acts in, sponsors  and/or supports, various events that also address the question of technological innovation, inasmuch as the issues lie within the scope of NATF’s remit..
