Generative AI at the heart of the ecological transformation: Veolia pushes the boundaries of innovation

Veolia, a world leader in ecological transformation, takes a decisive step in its ongoing innovation efforts by partnering with Mistral AI, a leading company in the field of generative artificial intelligence. This strategic partnership aims to radically transform the management and monitoring of industrial sites in the water, waste and energy sectors.

Revolutionizing resource management and efficiency through AI
At the heart of this collaboration is the integration of Mistral AI's advanced language model into Veolia's vast database and knowledge base. This synergy will, for the first time in the world, establish a real dialogue with industrial facilities, thus paving the way for unprecedented transparency and operational efficiency. The ambition of this partnership goes beyond simple process optimization: it is about revolutionizing the way Veolia manages its resources and addresses complex environmental challenges. Thanks to this cutting-edge technology, employees and stakeholders will be able to interact intuitively with the systems, obtaining real-time recommendations and proactively resolving issues.

This initiative is part of Veolia's broader strategy to harness the potential of artificial intelligence in all its areas of activity. Already, the company has deployed innovative solutions such as smart sensors for water management, advanced sorting robots for waste recycling, and predictive analysis systems for energy optimization.

Veolia Secure GPT: Generative AI serving the environment
The partnership with Mistral AI complements and strengthens these efforts, particularly the recent launch of Veolia Secure GPT, a generative AI tool developed in-house and made available to the group's 218,000 employees. This secure platform optimizes daily tasks while ensuring the confidentiality of the company's data.

The deployment of Veolia Secure GPT marks a crucial step in the group's innovation strategy. Developed in just two months by Veolia's IT teams, this generative AI tool offers writing, translation, search and information synthesis functionalities. It not only improves operational efficiency, but also ensures the security of the group's sensitive data.

With more than 3,800 drinking water production plants, 3,200 wastewater treatment plants, 865 waste treatment facilities and 48,745 energy facilities around the world, the potential impact of this innovation is colossal. Veolia is aiming to avoid 18 million tons of CO2 equivalent at its customers by 2027, an ambitious goal that artificial intelligence will help to achieve.
