How does our AI work?

Our aim is to answer any questions you may have about what’s happening in the Aix-Marseille region.

To achieve this, we have set up a generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) system, tailor-made for our customers.

 

  • generative means that the answers are written by the AI for each request (it’s not a bot with pre-defined answers)
  • the majority of information is found on the Internet (the quantity of information is therefore immense, but its accuracy cannot be guaranteed)
  • our AI is also nourished by documents and studies
  • a special focus on sources from our region
    artificial intelligence is in training: it’s constantly improving as your discussion progresses!
Energy
Sun, wind, hydrogen... new sources of energy
Few people know it, but <strong>Aix-en-Provence is home to the world's 4th cleantech technology cluster*</strong>. The Technopôle de l'Arbois Méditerranée boosts an ecosystem of cutting-edge startups in environmental technologies, <strong>recognized every year at CES in Las Vegas</strong>. <em style="font-size: 0.8em">*Source: IASP (International Association of Science Parks and Areas of Innovation).</em>
<h2>A nerve center for the energy transition</h2> In <strong>Aix-Marseille</strong>, the process of <strong>decarbonizing energy</strong> has already begun! <strong>CEA Cadarache</strong> and the <strong>Cité des Énergies</strong> actively contribute to research and technology transfer in the nuclear, solar and biotechnology fields. <strong>ITER</strong> is one of the world's most ambitious projects: <strong>35 countries </strong>are involved in the construction of a device demonstrating how <strong>nuclear fusion</strong> (energy from the sun) can be used on a large scale as a CO2-free energy source to produce electricity. For Aix-Marseille-Provence, it's also a question of turning the corner on <strong>energy transition</strong>, for the sake of the climate and the well-being of local residents, but also for the modernization and sovereignty of industry, particularly in Fos-sur-Mer.
<h2>Energy for French industrial sovereignty</h2> Thanks to applications from<strong>ArcelorMittal</strong> and <strong>Piicto</strong> in particular, the Bouches-du-Rhône region has been selected to benefit from massive government support for the "decarbonization" component of the <strong>Plan France 2030**</strong>. Deos, the<strong>floating offshore wind turbine</strong> project, was recently approved. And with Carbon, Gravithy, H4, Air Products, etc., no less than <strong>11 to 15 billion euros of investment</strong> could be made by major global groups wishing to set up in our region, enabling the <strong>decarbonization of industry</strong> and the creation of <strong>14,000 additional jobs</strong> in the Fos ZIP***. <em style="font-size: 0.8em">**Source: DREETS PACA, March 2024 ***Source: CCI Aix-Marseille-Provence, 2024</em>
<h2>Professional opportunities</h2> <strong>EDF, RTE, Société des Eaux de Marseille, Société du Canal de Provence</strong>... Aix-Marseille's "Energy & Environment" sector accounts for <strong>38,500 jobs</strong>. It is driven by major public and private groups, service companies, and players in the energy and management of natural resources such as water. <strong>CapEnergies, EA éco-entreprises, Novachim</strong>. Competitiveness clusters and business clusters also promote cooperation, innovation and growth in the energy sector.
