grandes entreprises du secteur technologique


Explanation:

En effet, "blue chip" n'est pas l'adjectif de technology, mais de providers.

L'expression vient du terme "blues chips" au casino : ce sont les jetons au montant le plus élevé, les plus gros jetons. Cette personne a travaillé au sein de grandes entreprises du secteur de la technologie, tout simplement (celles présentes au niveau mondial)

Note(s) :
Le terme anglais blue chips, inspiré des jetons de casinos, les bleus ayant la plus grande valeur, désigne par analogie les sociétés les plus appréciées des investisseurs privés ou professionnels à un moment donné.
Habituellement, les actions de telles sociétés constituent un placement sûr.
