The Artxanda Funicular in Bilbao has become a unique energy innovation laboratory with photovoltaic solar modules incorporated directly into the track – in a first for Spain. The city of Bilbao has taken another step closer to carbon neutrality. In August 2025, the city council opened an innovative solar installation on the Artxanda Funicular, the […]
The Belgian municipality of Beersel has transformed its public buildings into models of energy efficiency. Thanks to an energy performance contract with VINCI Facilities (VINCI Energies Building Solutions), seven municipal sites are now boasting 35% energy savings and a clear reduction in their carbon footprints. In the face of climate change and surging energy prices, […]
In the face of stiff competition, the transition to electric, and shrinking margins, automotive manufacturers are accelerating their digital transformation. From cloud technologies to digital twins and artificial intelligence – from Volkswagen to Renault and from Toyota to Ford – the automotive plant is undergoing a quiet but decisive revolution. To remain competitive, Volkswagen has […]
To meet the biggest technological and environmental challenges, VINCI Energies is emphasising research and bringing postgraduate students into its business units. We visit Actemium Paris Transport, where this collaboration has taken a particularly operational turn. For many years, VINCI Energies has maintained close links with academia and the world of research. This collaboration has gradually […]
What if AI could be a heavyweight supporter of the energy transition in buildings? If we can produce sufficiently potent, reliable and robust computing models, algorithms will have the power to transform building-sector engineering projects. This is what the Mines Paris – PSL businesses and researchers are working on in the VINCI environment research lab. […]
Climate change is radically transforming heating, ventilation and climate control (HVAC) needs in buildings. In the face of heatwaves, increased energy consumption and new environmental regulations, HVAC technologies must become more efficient, more resilient and more sustainable than ever. Climate change is upsetting the balances on which building design used to rely. In particular, HVAC […]
The result of accumulated trade-offs, technical debt inhibits innovation and business transformation. As classic approaches begin to show their limits, artificial intelligence is opening up a practical way to analyse, absorb and counteract this now-strategic burden. Technical debt has become a critical concern in information systems. It refers to the accumulation of trade-offs, temporary solutions […]
As a commercial manager for several Actemium Germany business units, Lukas Pflaum has acquired a real taste for learning – and for passing on knowledge. A QUARTZ trainer, he has embraced a business culture based on trust and responsibility. As a child, he wanted to be a teacher; as a teenager, he would have liked […]
In an increasingly demanding industrial context, real-time visualisation is transforming raw data flows into clear and usable indicators, offering manufacturers full, instant visibility of their operations. Factories have long been gathering data, most often in the form of static reports produced hours, if not days, after the data is collected, which prevents their teams from […]
