00:02Hi and welcome to Tech Talks. I'm joined today by Edward Boyg, Deputy CEO of the Boyg Group. Hi Edward.
00:09Hi.
00:10VivaTech is celebrating their 10th edition this year. How has your company's innovation strategy changed over the last 10 years?
00:16Our innovation strategy has kind of always been the same, even since the beginning of the group in the 50s.
00:22It's always been around serving our clients in the best possible way through innovation and through looking for what our
00:30client needs the most. And what has changed is the world around us, the context really.
00:35We've been, you know, now working a lot more on subjects like climate change, the energy transition, societal new needs,
00:44and integrating these contexts in our solutions and bringing those to our clients. We've always had a pioneering spirit to
00:52do that. So we try out new things with the comfort that our teams know what our clients need the
00:58most and getting that on the ground.
01:00So how do you take these promising ideas and transform them into large scale solutions?
01:04We work with a network of startups and researchers. And what's I think even more important, we have a network
01:12of recurring customers, I would say old customers of ours, that trust us, that know us, and that are ready
01:18to try out new things with us. So in a building, in an energy solution, that enables us to take
01:25a risk together with our customer and implement something new. And then if it works, we can really do it
01:30at scale.
01:31Excellent. Well, what can visitors expect on your booth at VivaTech this year?
01:35Well, I think it's going to be pretty exciting, because we're going to have a mix of in-house innovations
01:40from notably Colas and Equance, but we're also going to have lots of startups, experts, and I would say friends
01:47of the group come and show what we're doing together.
01:49There's lots of exciting new solutions around the energy transition, around resilience, around a bunch of exciting things that we
01:58do, and kind of cool to come and see, and you can experience them on our stand. And that'll be
02:03for four days. So I hope everybody has time to come and see what we have to show them.
02:08Well, I'm looking forward to it. Thank you.
02:10Join us June 17th through 20th at VivaTech, the place to B2B.
