As both exhibitor and speaker at the World AI Cannes Festival, EGM promotes a clear vision: without structured data, artificial intelligence cannot deliver real impact.

EGM participated in the WAICF, held at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès, as an exhibitor and committed actor in territorial AI.

Over three days, we presented our solutions and engaged with local authorities, industrial players, and technology partners around a central challenge: making artificial intelligence truly operational.

We warmly thank the organizers and all the visitors for the quality of the discussions and exchanges.

A Conference Focused on a Key Principle: Data Before AI

During the event, Pierre-Michel delivered a talk highlighting a fundamental truth often overlooked in technological discussions:

“AI is powerful, but without concrete data beforehand, it becomes useless.”

The core message of his presentation was clear:
artificial intelligence does not create value on its own. It entirely depends on the quality, structure, and reliability of the data that feeds it.

At a time when AI is sometimes presented as a universal solution, EGM advocates for a more rigorous approach:
before training models, organizations must build a solid, interoperable, and usable data foundation.

Why This Vision Matters for Territories

Local authorities and industrial organizations face a major challenge:
they generate significant amounts of data, yet it is often fragmented, heterogeneous, or unstructured.

Without a clear architecture and strong data governance, AI cannot produce reliable insights or meaningful automation.

This is precisely where EGM positions itself.

Our solutions enable organizations to:

• collect real-time field data
• structure it according to open standards
• ensure interoperability
• leverage it through algorithms tailored to real-world use cases

AI then becomes a concrete optimization lever in areas such as energy management, mobility, environmental monitoring, and public infrastructure management.

A Participation Aligned with Our DNA

Being an exhibitor at WAICF was not simply about visibility.

It was an opportunity to reaffirm our positioning:
EGM is an applied, territorial, and responsible AI actor.

We design solutions where:

• data is controlled and mastered
• architecture is carefully designed from the outset
• AI is integrated as a decision-support tool
• impacts are measurable

WAICF 2026 marks an important milestone in this journey and reinforces our commitment to supporting territories in building structured and sustainable digital transformation.
