The La Poste group, a major player in the French economic and technological landscape, stands out for its ability to innovate and adapt to the rapid changes of our time. Historically known for its postal services, La Poste has successfully diversified its activities to become a key player in the digital, health, and financial services sectors. With an ambitious strategic plan titled "La Poste 2030, committed to you", the company aims to establish itself as the leading European platform for connection and exchange, combining humanity and digital, ecology and citizenship.
La Poste has developed notable expertise in digital innovation and transformation. In 2021, it launched the Consumer and Digital Branch (BGPN) as part of its strategic plan, with a massive investment of 800 million euros planned by 2025. This initiative aims to modernize the omnichannel distribution network, expand territorial presence, and accelerate the group's digital transformation.
In terms of financial services, La Banque Postale, a subsidiary of the group, has committed to a sustainable digital transformation, strengthening its collaboration with Kyndryl to improve customer data hosting, security, and reduce its carbon footprint. La Banque Postale is also on track to achieve net zero emissions by 2040, in line with the Paris Agreement.
La Poste has recently expanded its scope with La Poste Ventures, a corporate fund focused on open innovation. Created in 2021 in partnership with XAnge, this fund has doubled its commitment to 75 million euros to support deeptech and cybersecurity, reflecting La Poste's ambition to position itself as a minority shareholder in innovative start-ups from their early years. La Poste Ventures has already invested in 12 start-ups and aims to develop a portfolio of 30 stakes.
In the health sector, La Poste has consolidated its initiatives with the creation of the "La Poste Health & Autonomy" division, bringing together the activities of Docaposte and its Mail-Parcels branch. This division aims to become a reference partner by 2030 for health professionals, providing human proximity services and trusted digital solutions for health data.
La Poste is a central player in the French technological ecosystem, notably through its digital subsidiary Docaposte. Docaposte aims to become the French benchmark for trusted digital solutions, with a specialized data and artificial intelligence division bringing together 400 experts. This division, one of the five main players in the sector in France, is dedicated to the creation of innovative and sovereign solutions, in line with La Poste's values.
Furthermore, La Poste actively participates in collaborative projects and research initiatives, such as the Fed-Malin challenge with Inria, aimed at advancing research on federated learning. The group also collaborates with start-ups like Aleia and LightOn to develop sovereign generative AI solutions.
La Poste continues to innovate and adapt to modern challenges by investing in future technologies and participating in key events. It has recently contributed to projects such as the development of frugal AI with AFNOR, highlighting its commitment to eco-responsible AI. La Poste is also involved in autonomous vehicle experiments for urban logistics in Montpellier, in collaboration with partners like GRDF and TwinswHeel.
In addition, La Poste is actively engaged in AI education and awareness initiatives, such as the explor’ia program organized by the Impact IA collective. This program aims to demystify AI and explore its uses while promoting responsible and ethical technology.
In summary, La Poste positions itself as a leader in technological innovation, combining tradition and modernity to meet the challenges of tomorrow and strengthen its place among the essential players in the digital and sustainable economy. With ambitious projects, strategic collaborations, and a clear vision of its role in society, La Poste is resolutely committed to a future where humanity and digital coexist harmoniously.
