Mathieu Delemme

As a social and environmental entrepreneur, I have been advocating for over twenty years for a vision of digital technology as a common good and as a lever for fair and beneficial transformations for all.

I co-founded ecedi in 2001, with the conviction that the web could (and should) be thought of as a useful, accessible and sustainable tool. This commitment quickly translated into active advocacy and involvement in developing a reference framework for digital accessibility (RGAA), followed by the eco-design of digital services (RGESN), with the same ambition : to bring about lasting change in the sector’s practices and establish requirements for quality, inclusion, and moderation.

In 2016, I co-founded numerik-ea, a company specialising in web-related professions, to enable people with disabilities to access skilled, high-demand and high-value-added jobs at the very heart of digital production activities.

In 2024, Ctrl-a brings together an ecosystem of agencies built up over time, around a community of values and a shared conviction : fair and useful change can only be based on a sustainable and responsible approach and solutions. To this end, the group now supports organisations in all their transformations, articulating strategic, human, organisational and digital dimensions, from infrastructure to usage.

I continue to uphold this commitment to civil society through national working groups led by the Institut du Numérique Responsable (INR) and the Alliance Green IT (AGIT), focusing on issues of accessibility, eco-design, sovereignty, and security.

For the years to come, my ambition is to help change our relationship with technology, so that it is chosen, designed and used to serve humanity, while respecting planetary boundaries.
