As part of the TotalEnergies ON challenge, Aevy was selected, amongst hundreds, with 7 other start-ups to pitch at the Viva Technology conference on the TotalEnergies stand. Viva Technology is Europe's #1 Startup & Tech event. Below are some words following this event.

Croissants, dancing robots, drone-taxis, and the future of asset management!

Even though it’s Tuesday and we have already moved onto this weeks tasks, some reflection on last weeks BIG EVENT is in order; by invitation of TotalEnergies and, more specifically the TotalEnergies On accelerator, we attended the Viva Technology conference in Paris and presented Aevy at their stand on Friday.

Our message was that extremely ambitious targets for renewable energy deployment, like TotalEnergies goal to deploy 100 GW by 2030, will require new ways of working. Aevy represents part of the solution by ensuring that the interface between technical operations and offtake, where the majority of an asset managers effort is concentrated today, becomes data-driven with emphasis on best-practices and automation.

While asset management as it is done to today has been sufficient, the increasing complexity and ambitious targets we currently see, it is necessary to evolve. Bringing standardization, continuous improvement, and automation to this work will allow increased consistency and quality of management. In turn, this will reduce the base workload for asset managers while contributing to increase yield through optimal operations. This means that the time currently spent on collecting and structuring a decision basis can be used to identify larger improvement opportunities directly contributing to more renewable energy available.

Despite the presentation being a major highlight, the conversations before and after our presentation still stands out as THE highlight! A special thanks to Pierre-Eliott Phelps, Thibault FLICHY, Sabine BROCHARD, and everyone that took the time to chat, your input and thoughts are invaluable!
