During the construction phase, Building Information Modeling and augmented reality can be put together to better anticipate contingencies, monitor progress in greater detail, and ultimately expedite project execution. The Building Information Modeling (BIM) method represents a building or infrastructure construction project in 3D, and compiles and processes the full range of smart data entered by […]
The rapid growth in the use of intermittent renewable energy sources has focused attention on energy storage. Hydroelectric power offers strong development potential. At a time when public authorities, investors and industries are shifting massively to renewable – especially solar and wind – energy, one source of energy is too often neglected: hydroelectric power.

Innover et gouverner dans la ville numérique réelle” […]
With the support of Axians, deeptech company CAILabs is developing a new technology that increases the data rate of multi-mode optical fibre by a factor of 400. Constantly increasing network data rates are rendering the transmission capacity of aging optical fibre obsolete – particularly the multi-mode systems used to communicate over short distances, for example […]
