As France’s power system faces growing challenges in terms of stability and demand-side adaptation, OptimizIA – incubated within EDF Pulse Incubation – is exploring the potential of data centre flexibility. The project positions itself as an optimisation building block, aligning the needs of the power system with those of large energy consumers in a genuine win-win approach.
EDF Pulse Incubation: a four-stage programme
EDF Pulse Incubation: a four-stage programme Louis, Lionel and Sébastien have just joined the “MATCH” phase, the second stage of the EDF Pulse Incubation intrapreneurial journey. At this stage, they benefit from innovative working methods and support from both internal and external experts to explore the AI market, further develop their optimiser and test their offering with customers in France and internationally.
After several months, the project will be reviewed by a board made up of EDF Group stakeholders, with a view to progressing to the next stage: the “TEST” phase.
They have the floor
Having an incubator within the EDF Group that is willing to back projects and turn ideas into real businesses is a real opportunity.
Being incubated means putting forward an idea and constantly challenging it. It’s a highly enriching experience, and one that the EDF Group allows us to put to the test in real-life conditions.
It’s an intense and demanding experience, but one that takes place in a supportive environment thanks to EDF Pulse Incubation. We’re really looking forward to continuing this collective entrepreneurial journey within the Group.
