Collaborative Innovation Blogger, Andrea Meyer interviews Cedric Simard, IceDream Project Director, Dassault Systemes live from the Dassault Systemes Customer Conference 2011 (#DSCC11).

Cedric explains the idea behind the IceDream project, a concept begun 40 years ago by Georges Mougin which involves moving an iceberg from it’s original location to a location in need of potable water supply. The IceDream project is part of Dassault Systemes sponsorship program called “Passion for Innovation” which is open to global entrepreneurs willing to step up for a non-profit cause or organization.
