The year 2024 brought many lessons for our Group. In an ever-changing world, marked by new economic and geopolitical tensions, our clients’ demands focused on enhancing productivity and boosting cost efficiency. In this challenging context, we demonstrated our resilience and the relevance of our positioning. Client confidence in the Group increased, driven by our ability to offer them the best strategic solutions, as well as the robustness of our ecosystem of leading technology partners, and our constant determination always to deliver the highest added value possible.
While we didn’t achieve the growth we’d hoped for, we’ve laid a solid foundation for the future. The environment remains challenging in 2025 and, like a navigator facing changing winds, we’re fully focused on demonstrating agility and mastery, seizing each opportunity that presents itself.
We operate in a world where technology is omnipresent, profoundly transforming society, businesses, and organizations. Capgemini works at the heart of this revolution. Our cloud, data, and AI solutions have placed us in a leading position, and the recognition we receive from our clients, as well as from leading market analysts, bears witness to this leadership. AI, Generative AI, and now AI agents are opening up a whole new field of opportunities. They are not just a technological breakthrough: they are also redefining business models, ways of working, and ways of creating value. Capgemini is already recognized as a key player in this transformation. The acquisition of Syniti in the United States strengthens our data-driven digital knowhow and accelerates our ability to deliver innovative, high-performance solutions. With more than 150,000 of our employees now trained on Generative AI tools, we hold the expertise we need to help our clients take a decisive step forward, offering them the agility and performance that is essential to their future success. I had the honor of speaking at the AI Action Summit in Paris at the beginning of 2025, where I highlighted the crucial influence of AI in transforming businesses and society. These revolutions do not happen overnight: they take time, a solid governance framework, and a long-term commitment. And that is precisely the vision we are carrying into the future.
In 2024, we achieved major successes in previously unexplored fields. One outstanding example is our partnership with the 37th America’s Cup. I am particularly proud of the remarkable collaboration of our experts in technology, engineering, data, and design, which enabled the creation of WindSight IQ™, a revolutionary solution that offered fans the possibility to visualize wind speed and direction live on their screens, thereby expanding the boundaries of both the viewer experience and innovation.
2025 is a year of challenges, but also of opportunities. First and foremost, I would like to thank the Board of Directors for its unfailing support, and I firmly believe that with the collective strength of our 340,000 employees and the winning spirit of our managers, we can embrace the future with confidence and energy. I am convinced that this dynamic will encourage a return to growth and a further improvement in our operating margin. Together, united by our values and our vision, and aware that the future demands excellence and adaptation, we are moving forward with a renewed ambition: to continue transforming businesses and organizations, while helping them to constantly reinvent themselves.
