EDF, one of the world's leading energy players, is an integrated group operating across the entire energy spectrum, from production to distribution, including sales and energy services. With 90% of its electricity being carbon-free, EDF plays a key role in the global energy transition. Its mission is to build a CO2-neutral energy future, balancing planet preservation, well-being, and development, through electricity and innovative solutions and services.
EDF is recognized for its expertise in low-carbon energy, with a diversified production mix primarily based on nuclear energy and renewable energies, including hydropower. The group relies on robust R&D to enhance its performance across all its activities and to prepare for the future with breakthrough technologies. EDF's R&D covers the entire spectrum of energy sector professions and activities, enabling it to meet the challenges of the energy transition with innovative solutions.
EDF has recently demonstrated its commitment to innovation and the energy transition through several initiatives. For example, the group launched Yxir.ia, a wholly-owned subsidiary dedicated to industrial AI, which helps industries optimize the quality of their products and services through artificial intelligence. Additionally, EDF actively participates in collaborative projects such as the partnership with Inria, aimed at integrating AI and cybersecurity technologies to enhance the resilience of energy systems.
EDF is also involved in international cooperation initiatives, such as the project for the largest AI campus in Europe in collaboration with NVIDIA and other technology partners, aiming to make France a key technological hub. This project plans to establish low-carbon infrastructure, reflecting EDF's ambition in terms of technological performance and environmental responsibility.
In the technological ecosystem, EDF is perceived as a leader in innovation and technological development. The group has formed strategic partnerships with major players such as Inria, to accelerate the adoption of AI and quantum computing in the energy sector. These collaborations underscore EDF's commitment to staying at the forefront of technological advancements and contributing to France's energy and digital sovereignty.
EDF continues to engage in innovative projects and strengthen its impact in the energy sector. The group supports, for example, the "Data Lake for Nuclear" project as part of the Recovery Plan, aiming to share nuclear data to train AI algorithms. This initiative demonstrates EDF's commitment to leveraging data to improve the quality and performance of nuclear achievements.
Furthermore, EDF has invested in ITK, a company specializing in agronomic modeling and AI for sustainable agriculture. This support enables ITK to develop solutions to reduce the carbon footprint of agriculture, illustrating EDF's interest in sectors beyond traditional energy.
In summary, EDF continues to play a central role in the development of innovative and responsible energy solutions, reinforcing its position as a leader in the global energy transition. Its commitment to innovation and collaboration with leading technology partners reflects its vision of a sustainable and decarbonized energy future.
