Innovation ecosystem
When ideas come to life: Our innovation ecosystem
- The world is full of great ideas. The challenge is bringing them to life as intended. Innovation at Capgemini is focused on execution, with hands-on expertise in technology, software, strategy, design, engineering, and industry applications. Drawing on our internal network of researchers, emerging and deep tech labs, innovation centers, coupled with academic and research partnerships, startups and technology partners, we transform ideas into meaningful applications that deliver value for our clients.
Imagine tomorrow’s technology
In a sea of hype, our future-focused research and testing helps our clients focus on the trends that will concretely move their businesses forward. Amongst today’s key technologies, AI isn’t just a revolution; it’s a catalyst for action and a cornerstone of technological convergence. At Capgemini, we don’t simply identify opportunities in the evolving data economy-we help our clients seize them and turn them into added value, integrating powerful new technologies like AI, Generative AI, Agentic AI, quantum, or climate tech into their strategies to drive sustainable and profitable growth.
From vision to value
Fueled by a network of over 90 research facilities and partnerships with leading academic institutions including Berkeley, MIT, and Oxford University, we help clients apply technology in a way that will not only transform their business but also their industries. We rigorously evaluate over 1,000 emerging technologies annually, providing clients with clear indications of the top trends, their potential impact, and how to apply them. This unparalleled insight, delivered through our TechnoVision guide, positions Capgemini at the forefront of innovation. For example, our dedicated Quantum Lab, AI Futures Lab, and AI Robotics & Experiences Lab are instrumental in exploring how these specific technologies can enable new use cases tailored to client needs.
Transforming vision into impactful reality is at the core of our approach. Our 21 Applied Innovation Exchange (AIE) centers (see pages 20-21) are collaborative hubs where client and innovation teams come together to shape cutting-edge technologies into practical solutions for specific business challenges, offering immersive environments fostering innovation from exploration to commercialization. Agile methodologies, diverse teams, and a culture of experimentation ensure that our innovations deliver real value, boosting efficiency and meeting genuine needs.
