00:02Hello and welcome to Tech Talks.
00:04It's my pleasure to welcome today Astrid Blanchard,
00:07the Vice President for Strategy and Planning
00:09for Digital and IT at Engie.
00:12Astrid, thank you very much for joining me.
00:13Thank you to you.
00:14So I'd like to ask you firstly,
00:16this year marks the 10th anniversary
00:17for both VivaTech and the Engie brand.
00:20Tell us a bit about how you've seen
00:21the digital transformation truly reshape Engie.
00:25Digital is really a business partner
00:27with an intent to drive business outcome.
00:29Over the past 10 years,
00:31clearly it has reshaped the operating model of Engie
00:34in the way we operate infrastructure,
00:37the way we optimize energy flows
00:39and also the way we support our customers.
00:42So this technology enables Engie
00:44to operate in a large scale in a complex environment
00:47while improving performance, reliability and safety.
00:52Well now tell us a bit about the future.
00:54It's going to be extremely competing for Engie,
00:56you know, to define what's going to be the technology
00:58in 10 years from now.
00:59What we are focusing on is on our ability
01:02to making sure that we are extremely agile
01:05to adopt those new technology,
01:06be fast on moving from innovation
01:09to industrialization,
01:11acting responsibly with governance
01:13on AI, cyber and ethics.
01:16Speaking of AI,
01:17can you tell us a bit about how you've seen it
01:19really improve the way that Engie operates?
01:21AI is in everything we do.
01:23I'd like to highlight two specific domains.
01:26So industrial operation and then augmented employee.
01:29Industrial operation, AI is in everything.
01:33So it means that it helps of predicting anomalies
01:36or identifying defects,
01:38making fast decisions so that we reduce risk
01:41and making sure that we're taking insight decisions.
01:45Augmented employee, so basically AI,
01:47we equipped our employee
01:49and we democratize AI's capability to everyone.
01:53We leverage co-pilot or any AI assistance
01:56to making sure that our employee
01:58make fast decision, insight decision
02:01in their day-to-day routines.
02:03Tell us what visitors can expect
02:05from Engie's booth this year at VivaTech.
02:07Visiting our booths,
02:08they will be able to see, you know,
02:10how we combine the industrial expertise
02:12with digital and AI capabilities.
02:15We will show more than 20 solutions
02:17that we have deployed across the globe in Engie.
02:20For example, the visitor would be able to see
02:23how we announce predictive incident
02:25in the production,
02:27how we equip our technician in the field
02:30with the latest technology,
02:32and also, you know,
02:33how we maximize biogas production systems.
02:36So our conviction is simple.
02:38The energy transition,
02:39it is first and foremost a human journey.
02:42Now build on the alliance between AI,
02:46between human intelligence,
02:49and our long-term industrial commitment.
02:51Well, we certainly look forward to seeing this.
02:53Astrid, thank you very much for joining me.
