One of these companies is Pozzz, from Bordeaux, which presents a small smart portfolio to combat addiction to the phone.
"We have created this smart pocket.You place the smartphone inside and after 15 minutes you get points.It's a game.We become something playful, positive, to pause during the day, not to be six hours pending phone.My son is 12 years old and we negotiated with him who after three months would get some shoes, ”says Alexandre Faucher, general director of Pozzz.
Umbra presents a suitcase in which participants to sensitive meetings introduce their phones and smart watches to neutralize possible spy or spyware programs.
"Many security professionals do not trust their phone.I have witnessed situations in which they do not feel comfortable just for leaving their phone on the table, "argues Othman Benmansour, general director of Umbra.
The idea arose as a result of the Pegasus scandal, the spy software used to infiltrate telephones of activists, journalists, businessmen and politicians.
"We have seen many scandals, such as Pegasus, which has affected many personalities, professionals in different sectors and governments, in many countries," says Benmansour.
