A Look Back… TotalEnergies at VivaTech 2024
05/31/2024
At Vivatech 2024, meet the start-ups in the TotalEnergies On program and find out how the solutions they are developing are helping us to achieve our ambition in electricity.
Hello, today we're at VivaTech, Europe's largest start-up and innovation fair.
For the second year running, we're promoting TotalEnergies On, our electricity start-up accelerator. Come and see our start-ups' innovative solutions.
We're in the heart of VivaTech, on the TotalEnergies stand, which is promoting our start-up accelerator: TotalEnergies On.
To find our more, I'm going to meet Thibault Flichy, TotalEnergies On program director.
Hi Thibault. Can you tell us more about this stand?
Welcome to the TotalEnergies stand, promoting TotalEnergies On. This stand was designed around the "electron pathway".
From the production of electrons, wind, solar, batteries... Then the electron trading section. And retail and electric vehicles: electrons in EVs. Behind each part of the value chain are different start-ups.
Why is it important to be here two years in a row?
We believe that to transform the electricity value chain, the start-ups need ongoing support. What TotalEnergies On does is to make our businesses available to the start-ups.
How many start-ups have you supported at TotalEnergies On?
We've taken in 40 start-ups: 10 on the program and 30 in previous cohorts. So far, we've invested in four start-ups. We've got about twenty commercial contracts. In the accelerator's ecosystem, those are big results.
Thanks!
Let's go and meet these start-ups.
What is your activity in a few words?
We are JUA. We’re creating an AI model which is based on physical laws and can therefore predict the future state of weather.
TotalEnergies has been heavily investing in the past years in their renewable portfolio.
Their renewable portfolio is very volatile and depending on weather.
Therefore, they require a much more accurate weather forecast to be able to balance production and consumption.
