Et si l'IA permettait à un ingénieur de passer d'un mois à une semaine pour concevoir une solution industrielle ?C'est l'une des réalités que partage Pierre-Emmanuel Dumouchel, fondateur et directeur général de Dessia, dans cet épisode de Trajectoires.De l'adoption de l'IA aux enjeux méthodologiques pour savoir par où commencer, il décrypte ce que signifie réellement déléguer à des agents dans des environnements critiques. Il montre aussi comment l'émergence d'agents capables de produire, vérifier et valider ouvre une nouvelle ère pour l'ingénierie industrielle.Et pourquoi, dès aujourd'hui, les entreprises doivent structurer leur savoir pour concevoir les agents de demain.

« Notre métier c'est de transformer des personnes en chefs d'entreprise. »

Maxime Bleskine est cofondateur et CEO de VOLTR, une startup industrielle basée à Angers qui reconditionne des batteries lithium à partir de cellules de seconde vie.Ingénieur de formation, Maxime a passé plus de 7 ans dans le BTP - du chantier d'Hinkley Point C (la plus grande construction de génie civil en Europe) au Grand Paris, en passant par la rénovation tout corps d'État. Un dimanche, dans la voiture de son meilleur ami Alban Regnier, il décide de tout quitter pour cofonder VOLTR.Le constat de VOLTR est radical : 9 batteries sur 10 en Europe viennent d'Asie. En fin de vie, elles sont broyées et la poudre est renvoyée en Chine pour raffinage. VOLTR casse cette boucle en récupérant les cellules lithium, en les testant, en prédisant leur vieillissement grâce à des algorithmes propriétaires, et en les réassemblant dans des packs neufs - certifiés, garantis, compétitifs face au neuf chinois.Dans cet épisode du podcast Les Bâtisseurs, Maxime détaille le process industriel complet de VOLTR : collecte des batteries usagées auprès d'industriels et d'éco-organismes, démantèlement non destructif avec technologie laser, qualification des cellules par cyclage, prédiction du vieillissement par data et algorithmes, association optimisée des cellules, et assemblage de batteries reconditionnées.VOLTR emploie aujourd'hui 44 personnes à Angers, traite environ 1 000 cellules par jour, et vise 10 000 cellules quotidiennes pour atteindre 15 millions d'euros de chiffre d'affaires. L'ambition à 2030 : 4 usines en Europe, plus de 600 salariés et 70 millions d'euros de revenus.Maxime aborde aussi les freins majeurs de l'économie circulaire industrielle en Europe : le transport transfrontalier de déchets, le financement du scale industriel (trop de capex pour les VC classiques), et la réglementation ICPE. Il fait le lien entre batteries et BTP — un secteur qu'il connaît intimement et qui représente un marché majeur pour l'électrification des chantiers.Un épisode pour ceux qui croient que la réindustrialisation européenne passe par l'économie circulaire et l'innovation frugale.

The fiat money system has survived the Great Inflation, the global financial crisis, and a pandemic. But can it survive digital currencies?Bitcoin and the blockchain solved a genuine problem in computer science: how to stop people spending the same money twice. Forty years of successful inflation control means central bank money is stable; that is the stability in stablecoins, attempting to solve the volatility problem. What's next? What if the unit of account itself were indexed to consumer prices? Digitalisation might finally make that approach viable at scale. Price stability, by design.Will we still need cash? Maybe not now, But if you never use it, it may not be there if the blackout comes.The research behind this episode:Stracca, Livio. 2025. Redefining the Monetary Standard in the Digital Age: Digital Innovations and the Future of Monetary Policy. Springer Nature.To cite this episode:Phillips, Tim, and Livio Stracca. 2026. "Redefining the monetary standard." VoxTalks Economics (podcast). Assign this as extra listening. The citation above is formatted and ready for a reading list or VLE.About the guestLivio Stracca is Deputy Director General for International and European Relations at the European Central Bank, where he has worked for more than two decades. His research spans monetary economics, international finance, and the implications of digitalisation for central banking, with extensive work on exchange rates, capital flows, and the architecture of the international monetary system. Research cited in this episodeThe double-spend problem. The fundamental challenge in any decentralised digital payment system: how to prevent a participant from spending the same unit of money twice when there is no trusted central authority to verify transactions. Bitcoin's 2008 white paper offered an innovative solution by making the transaction ledger public, cumulative, and computationally expensive to rewrite. The trade-off is that transparency sacrifices privacy; every transaction is visible to all participants in the network.The blockchain. A distributed ledger in which transactions are grouped into sequential blocks, each cryptographically linked to the one before. Reversing any transaction requires rewriting every subsequent block, which demands enormous computational effort. This design solves the double-spend problem in a decentralised network but makes the system slow and costly to operate at scale.The payment trilemma. A framework discussed in the episode and in Stracca's book: any digital payment system can optimise for at most two of three properties simultaneously (universal access, security against fraudulent transactions, and privacy). Cash is the only instrument that escapes the trilemma; digital systems must accept a trade-off among the three, and the choice is often made implicitly by the designer of the system rather than through democratic deliberation.Hayek, Friedrich A. 1976. Denationalisation of Money. London: Institute of Economic Affairs. The classic argument for currency competition: let currencies compete freely and the one providing the most stable prices will win. Economists, including Milton Friedman, largely rejected the proposal on the grounds that money exhibits strong network externalities; the more people use a currency, the more attractive it becomes to the next user, producing a natural tendency towards monopoly. A formal modern revisitation, finding similar conclusions, is Fernández-Villaverde, Jesús, and Daniel Sanches. 2019. "Can Currency Competition Work?" Journal of Political Economy 127 (3): 1017 to 1058.Irving Fisher's compensated dollar. A proposal published in Fisher, Irving. 1913. "A Compensated Dollar." Quarterly Journal of Economics 27 (2): 213–235 (the same year the Federal Reserve was created). Fisher argued for a dollar whose purchasing power was held constant by adjusting its gold content in line with prices. The mechanical details of his proposal are no longer relevant, but its animating idea (indexing the unit of account to a price level) has gained new plausibility in a digital context.The Unidad de Fomento. Chile's inflation-indexed unit of account, in operation since 1967 and updated daily against the consumer price index. It is used widely in long-term contracts, including mortgages, and functions as a security that can be traded. Stracca cites it as evidence that an indexed monetary standard is operationally feasible, and as a prototype for what a digital equivalent might look like at larger scale.The Great Moderation. The period of low and stable inflation in advanced economies running roughly from the mid-1980s until the inflation episode of 2021 to 2023. Economists attribute it to improved monetary policy frameworks, particularly central bank independence, inflation targeting, and (crucially, in Stracca's account) the introduction of interest on reserves, which gave central banks precise control over the short-term interest rate without draining liquidity. Stracca treats the Great Moderation as the benchmark against which any proposed reform of the monetary standard must be judged.Programmable money. A form of digital money in which payment is conditional on an independently verifiable event, potentially confirmed by a machine rather than a human intermediary. Example: a payment that executes automatically when a delivery is confirmed by a sensor. Decentralised ledgers make such conditional payments technically straightforward; traditional banking systems can approximate them but with far greater friction. Stracca notes significant enthusiasm for programmable money but also real scepticism about whether the benefits outweigh the complexity in practice.More VoxTalks Economics episodesStablecoins and Global Imbalances, Gilles Moëc explains why we can think of stablecoins as a radical macroeconomic experiment that has arrived at exactly the moment the US external position is showing signs of stress.Can blockchain decentralise money, contracts, and finance?

Hypoport SE Q1 2026: Key TakeawaysHypoport SE Q1 2026 Financial ResultsPresented by Ronald Slabke, CEOIn this latest financial results presentation on seat11a, Ronald Slabke of Hypoport SE presents the company's Q1 2026 financial results and provides an update on current developments across its digital finance and real estate platform ecosystem.Gradual Stabilisation in the German Mortgage MarketHypoport remains one of the key listed technology-driven infrastructure providers for the German mortgage and financial services market. Through platforms such as Europace, the company connects banks, brokers, insurers, and real estate participants within a highly scalable digital ecosystem.Following the difficult market environment of recent years, investors are closely watching for further signs of recovery in mortgage financing volumes, transaction activity, and platform utilisation. In Q1 2026, market conditions continued to gradually stabilise in parts of the German real estate financing market.Improving financing conditions and increasing transaction activity supported developments across the platform ecosystem, although the broader environment remained influenced by economic uncertainty, interest rate sensitivity, and cautious market sentiment.Europace and Platform Scalability Remain CentralAgainst this backdrop, Hypoport continued to focus on expanding platform usage, increasing digitalisation, and strengthening its long-term market position within the German housing finance market.A major focus remains the scalability of Hypoport's platform model. As digital processes continue to gain relevance across mortgage finance, insurance, and real estate transactions, Hypoport aims to benefit from increasing platform penetration and network effects across its ecosystem.For investors, Europace remains at the center of the Hypoport investment case. The platform continues to function as one of the most important digital infrastructures for German mortgage finance, connecting lenders, brokers, savings banks, cooperative banks, and financial intermediaries through integrated workflows and transaction processes.Diversified Platform Ecosystem Across Financial ServicesManagement also discusses developments across the company's different segments, including private clients, real estate platforms, and insurance activities, underlining the broad positioning of the group within the German financial services market.This diversified platform structure remains strategically important because it reduces reliance on a single product category and supports the broader long-term thesis that Hypoport is building digital infrastructure layers across multiple adjacent financial and housing-related markets.Long-Term Focus on Digitalisation and Market Share GainsEven though short-term market conditions remain influenced by macroeconomic uncertainty and interest rate sensitivity, Hypoport continues to position itself around long-term structural themes including digitalisation, workflow automation, platform integration, and increasing efficiency across the housing finance ecosystem.Management continues to view the ongoing digital transformation of Germany's mortgage and insurance markets as a significant long-term growth opportunity for the company's platform architecture....▶️ Other videos:Elevator Pitch: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-elevator-pitch/Company Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-company-presentation/Deep Dive Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-deep-dive/Financial Results Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-financial-results/ESG Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-esg/T&CThis publication is for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice.

Dans cet épisode, Raphaël Beton, Directeur du développement pour la décarbonation de l'industrie chez Energy Pool, déconstruit une idée reçue : la décarbonation n'est pas un coût, c'est un investissement. La chaleur représentant près de 50 % de la consommation énergétique des industriels, il passe en revue les options de décarbonation disponibles : biomasse, solaire thermique, biogaz, et explique pourquoi l'électrification se distingue par sa facilité d'intégration et sa flexibilité. En tirant parti des variations de prix de l'électricité et en valorisant les actifs sur les marchés de l'énergie, les projets peuvent se rentabiliser en deux à quatre ans, faisant de la décarbonation un véritable levier de compétitivité.Hosted on Ausha.

SCOP, BFR, acquisition et digitalisation : un DAF raconte ses 6 ans dans une PME pas comme les autresAimed Yacini est DAF de Savoir Plus depuis 6 ans. Une entreprise qui distribue des fournitures scolaires et des livres depuis 1955, basée à Angers, et qui appartient à 90% à ses salariés. Un modèle coopératif, une gouvernance à deux têtes, 140 actionnaires qui votent les comptes en assemblée générale. Pas tout à fait comme une SA classique.Dans cet épisode, il revient sur ce que ce modèle change concrètement au métier de DAF. La gestion d'un capital variable avec des flux d'entrée et de sortie permanents. La communication financière auprès de salariés qui ne sont pas des financiers mais qui sont associés. Les roadshows internes pour expliquer les comptes sans jargonner. Et les décisions difficiles, comme fermer des magasins ou un dépôt, dans un contexte où tout le monde a voix au chapitre et où les enjeux individuels et collectifs se croisent en permanence.Il parle aussi de la saisonnalité, qui est un sujet à part entière quand on vend des fournitures scolaires. Un BFR qui peut peser 50% du CA en mai, des découverts bancaires de février à juin, et un travail de fond avec les banquiers pour qu'ils comprennent la trajectoire au-delà des chiffres bruts.Sur la digitalisation, Aimed raconte comment il a structuré les priorités en arrivant dans une boîte où tout était encore en papier. Par quoi commencer, dans quel ordre, et pourquoi l'outil ne fait pas tout si le process derrière n'est pas propre.Et pour finir, une acquisition clôturée le 30 septembre, à peine deux semaines avant l'enregistrement. Une SAS dans les manuels scolaires numériques. Il détaille les étapes à ne pas rater côté financier et comment aborder l'intégration sans écraser la culture de la cible.Un épisode dense, concret, avec un invité qui n'a pas peur de rentrer dans le détail.Je m'appelle Jonathan Plateau.

On MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys welcome Ambassador Beata Stoczyńska, Executive Director of the Asia‑Europe Foundation (ASEF), to unpack what this unique intergovernmental organisation actually does — and why its work matters more than ever in 2026. Created under the Asia‑Europe Meeting (ASEM), ASEF is the only institution dedicated to strengthening ties between the two regions through dialogue, collaboration, and people‑to‑people exchange. Ambassador Stoczyńska shares how ASEF’s multinational team has delivered over 280 projects with more than 230 partners, connecting policymakers, students, cultural practitioners, academics, and civil society leaders. We explore ASEF’s priorities for 2026, centred on three major themes shaping the global agenda:1) A human‑centred approach to cooperation and development2) Digitalisation, and the opportunities and risks it brings3) The green transition, where Asia and Europe must work together to meet climate goals Ambassador Stoczyńska also highlights why ASEF’s role as a bridge is so critical today. With geopolitical tensions rising and global challenges becoming more complex, ASEF provides a rare neutral platform where Asia and Europe can exchange ideas, build trust, and co‑create solutions.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You will have heard throughout the day and over the weekend about fuel prices continuing to rise at forecourts across the country. Oil surged to prices not seen since 2022 this morning, hitting just under $120 a barrel.

From new cancer drugs to batteries and robotics – China's top-tier growth companies are forging paths of their own rather than following in the west's footsteps. Investment manager Sophie Earnshaw names companies that have caught her eye and explains why being a long-term stock picker differs in China from elsewhere. Background:Sophie Earnshaw is a decision-maker on our China Equities Strategy and joint manager of the Baillie Gifford China Growth Trust. In this conversation, she tells Short Briefings… host Leo Kelion about a select group of Chinese companies breaking new ground, supported by the state's efforts to become self-sufficient in more of today's critical technologies and a leader in some of those of the future. Earnshaw also details how the “phenomenal rate” at which companies are born, scale and die in the country makes stock-picking a challenging task – making the access we have to company leaders, academics and other local expertise core to our mission of finding the best firms to invest in on behalf of our clients. Portfolio companies discussed include:- CATL – the battery maker whose products power electric vehicles worldwide and increasingly support the renewable energy sector- BeOne and Innovent Biologics – pharmaceutical firms developing the next generation of cancer drugs - AMEC and NAURA – semiconductor equipment makers enabling China to develop increased self-reliance in computer chips - Alibaba, ByteDance and Tencent – China's ‘big tech' companies, whose artificial intelligence tools are becoming embedded into people's daily lives- MiniMax – the AI startup rolling out video and agentic tools at a fraction of the cost of western counterparts- Horizon Robotics – the automated driving tech provider with its eye on an even bigger opportunity. Resources:Baillie Gifford podcastsChina: a tale of two storiesChina investment strategy hub (institutional clients only)House of HuaweiPrivate investor forum 2025: investing in great growth companiesTrip notes: on the road with Baillie Gifford China Growth Trust  Companies mentioned include:AlibabaAMECASMLBeOneByteDanceCATLHorizon RoboticsInnovent BiologicsJiangsu HengruiHuaweiMiniMaxSamsungNAURATencentTSMCXiaohongshu Timecodes:00:00  Introduction01:55   Joining the China Equities Strategy02:40  Intense competition04:00  The government's influence06:10   CATL, the electrification champion08:45  Investing with a 5-year time horizon10:25   Shanghai office, local expertise11:45   Regulations and geopolitics14:30   China's next Five-year Plan16:15   Innovent Biologics' new cancer drugs18:10   Lower-cost clinical trials19:45   Being selective in semiconductors21:25   Investing in chip equipment makers23:00  China's ‘big tech and AI'25:10   MiniMax making AI like ‘tap water'27:45  The road to robotics29:35  A market you can't ignore30:30  Book choice Glossary of terms (in order of mention): Third plenum: a major policy meeting of China's ruling Communist Party, often used to set big economic/political direction.Sovereign bond issuance: The government raising money by selling bonds (IOUs) to investors.Opportunity set: the range of investable companies available to choose from.Capex: capital expenditure – money spent on long-term assets like factories, equipment, or data centres.Fiscal deficit target: how much more the government plans to spend than it collects in revenue (taxes plus other income), expressed as a share of the economy.GDP: gross domestic product – the total value of goods and services a country produces in a year.Market capitalisation: the total value of a company's shares (share price × number of shares).ESG: environmental, social and governance – how a company manages environmental impact, people issues, and corporate oversight.Large-form batteries: big battery packs used in things like electric vehicles and grid storage.Energy storage systems: large batteries that store electricity for later use (helping balance the grid).Generic drugs: copies of medicines whose patents have expired; usually cheaper, same active ingredient.Bi-specific (bispecific) drugs: drugs designed to bind to two targets at once (often to direct immune cells to cancer).ADC drugs: antibody–drug conjugates – antibodies that deliver a toxic payload to cancer cells.Out-licensing: selling rights to your drug/technology to another company (often for upfront + milestone payments).EUV machines: extreme ultraviolet lithography equipment used to make the most advanced chips.Foundry: a factory business that manufactures chips for other companies.Etch and deposition: steps in chipmaking – etch removes material to form patterns, deposition adds thin layers.Picks and shovels: a metaphor for companies that sell essential tools to an industry (rather than end products).Digitalisation: moving processes and services from offline to software and data-driven systems.Compute: the processing power (chips and servers) used to train/run AI.Large language model (LLM): an AI trained on lots of text to generate and understand language.Margins: how much profit a company makes per pound/dollar of revenue (after costs).Cloud business: selling computing power/storage/software over the internet instead of on a local machine.Algorithm layer: the method or software logic that makes the AI work (as distinct from the hardware).Gross margin: revenue minus direct costs (before overheads), a rough measure of product profitability.Assisted driving: features that help a driver (lane-keeping, adaptive cruise control, etc) but don't fully replace them.Autonomous driving: a car driving itself with minimal or no human input.Software attachment rate: the percentage of customers who add paid software features and/or subscriptions.

Digitalisation is no longer a side enabler — it's becoming central to system-wide acceleration, efficiency and optimisation. At the same time, questions remain around scalability, cost, and how quickly the sector can realistically move.   We've asked the panel to explore: • Where digital tools and AI are already delivering tangible value in the energy transition • How digitalisation can help address system bottlenecks such as grid integration, storage optimisation and demand flexibility • The key barriers to adoption, including upfront costs and organisational or cultural challenges • How partnerships between energy companies and technology providers can accelerate scale while sharing risk • Which digital breakthroughs could have the biggest impact over the next decade   Speakers: Carsten Sonne-Schmidt, managing partner, Digital Energy AI Adele Ara, group chief technology officer, Lightsource bp Dr Gianna Huhn, Group Strategy, Innovation Strategy & Technology Foresight Lead, SSE

A comparison of early stage state supports for the indigenous tech sector in Ireland and Northern Ireland' with Minister Jack Chambers The Minister for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Services, Reform and Digitalisation, Jack Chambers today launched a new report, 'A comparison of early stage state supports for the indigenous tech sector in Ireland and Northern Ireland' which was conducted by Scale Ireland and QUBIS, and commissioned by InterTradeIreland. Supporting the Irish tech sector The report, which was conducted over the last year, provides an in-depth and comprehensive comparative analysis of the state financial supports available for supporting early stage tech start-ups in Ireland and Northern Ireland. It also contains several proposals on enhancing collaboration between Ireland and Northern Ireland and their indigenous tech ecosystems. Some of the Key Proposals To further support the development of a more integrated all-island ecosystem, the state agencies should initiate a forum with stakeholders from Ireland and Northern Ireland on an annual or twice yearly basis. A joint funding initiative for companies in Ireland and Northern Ireland under the Shared Island initiative should also be explored. A Department for the Economy-led study could consider exploring joint funding mechanisms, such as a cross-border tech seed fund that leverages incentives to stimulate investment in high-growth sectors, strengthen regional economic clusters, and support sustainable, knowledge-driven business growth across Northern Ireland and Ireland. Launch and fund an initiative to gather more specific data to assess the state and impact of both indigenous tech ecosystems and how they compare and interact. The Programme for Government in Ireland contains a commitment to commission a statistical series of comparative data. The all-island ecosystem might be a suitable subject for consideration in this regard, potentially providing the basis for this further study The CEO of Scale Ireland, Martina Fitzgerald said 'This report presents a strong vision for enhanced collaboration between the indigenous tech sectors in Ireland and Northern Ireland. It is very clear there are opportunities for further joint funding initiatives and data collection and this can be progressed by the setting up of a Stakeholder Forum bringing together key agencies and organisations'. The Chair of Scale Ireland,Brian Caulfieldsaid 'This report provides valuable, in-depth insights into early stage state supports and funding in Ireland and Northern Ireland. It highlights shared challenges and opportunities in relation to funding. It will be of great value to founders and will, hopefully, encourage increased policy coordination'. Rachael Corridan, Programme Manager, InterTradeIreland said 'The Comparison of Early-Stage State Supports for the Indigenous Tech Sector in Ireland and Northern Ireland report highlights the importance of cross-border collaboration in addressing shared challenges and unlocking growth opportunities. InterTradeIreland is proud to support this project, and the work of Scale Ireland and QUBIS through our Synergy programme'. Prof Brian McCaul, CEO, Qubis, "This report highlights how Ireland and Northern Ireland have complementary tech ecosystems with real potential to achieve more through closer collaboration. By strengthening all-island cooperation we can improve access to funding, talent and international markets and build a more competitive innovation ecosystem" Scale Ireland is the independent not-for-profit representative organisation for Irish tech start-up and scaling companies. Founded in late 2019, Scale Ireland has over 820 members of all stages, sizes and sectors in the tech start-up community.

Eleanor Hill (TMI) sits down with Arnault Gitzinger (Datalog TMS) to explore how treasurers can ensure that digitalisation serves their strategic goals rather than driving them. They discuss the extent of treasury's digital evolution and where automation should, and shouldn't, take hold. This candid conversation covers integration challenges, regulatory standards and data security, alongside the growing role of AI, e-invoicing, and tokenisation. Our guest highlights how interoperability and collaboration between systems can unlock efficiency and visibility while keeping control, compliance, and risk management firmly in treasurers' hands.

Gerard delivered a keynote on Digitalisation, AI, Supply Chains and Electrification at the EcoVadis Global Summit.Gerard Reid argues that we are living through a new industrial revolution driven by digitalization, AI, and electrification, comparable in scale to the steam and automobile revolutions of the past. He highlights how China is rapidly outpacing Western forecasts in areas like AI, solar power, and electric vehicles, reshaping global competitiveness. Reid stresses that AI will transform industries—from healthcare to transport to energy—while massively increasing the world's demand for electricity, which will increasingly be met through solar and battery storage. His central message is that businesses and countries must adopt a growth mindset, embrace AI as an enabler, and adapt quickly—or risk irrelevance in the face of accelerating global change.EcoVadis is a globally recognized platform that provides sustainability ratings and assessments for companies, focusing on their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance. It evaluates businesses across four key themes: Environment, Labor and Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement. These assessments help companies manage ESG risks, ensure compliance, and improve sustainability practices across their operations and supply chains.
