Innovation in action

At Capgemini, innovation is about impact. We can dream, build and scale-driving real-world results. We align technology with specific client needs across key sectors leveraging our academic research programs and our expanded ecosystem of startup partners. Alliances with technology and industry leaders, including the creation of joint ventures, demonstrate our proactive approach to solving contemporary challenges and providing cutting-edge solutions.

And it doesn’t stop with mere concepts. With our unique engineering expertise, we are able to combine the digital and the physical-ultimately taking innovation from ideas to reality. The research, development, and delivery of the patented technology WindSight IQ™ (see p. 2-5) is a perfect example of our end-to-end innovation capabilities.

This iterative approach is grounded in a commitment to sustainability and social responsibility, resulting in innovations that benefit both society and the environment.

Quantum leap

Capgemini’s Quantum Lab is at the forefront of exploring and advancing quantum technologies. Over the last year, our team of researchers have been collaborating with client teams and leading players like IBM to find new applications for this emerging technology. Most research has been focused on two areas: quantum-safe cryptography and quantum chemistry. The first, quantum-safe cryptography, has attracted particular interest from clients in financial services, where it could transform processes like market trading and risk management, while also solving significant cybersecurity challenges. In the quantum chemistry space, we are co-developing use cases with leading businesses in consumer products, aerospace, energy, and utilities that can address issues around product shelf life, carbon capture, and corrosion. Our priority is to find the right applications today, for the technologies of tomorrow.
