Global Industrie 2026
Equans Digital & Equans Process Solutions meet major industry players
March 30 to April 2, 2026
We leverage data to improve the performance of your infrastructures
On the occasion of Global Industrie 2026, Equans Digital, expert in OT/IT/Data convergence, presented its expertise in Automation, SCADA, MES & Robotics; Connectivity, Sovereign Hosting & Cybersecurity; AI, Digital Twin & Energy Performance; all at the service of the transformation of industrial, tertiary and urban environments.
Alongside Equans Process Solutions (EPS), our teams unveiled concrete solutions and use cases from the field to pilot assets, optimise performance, secure operations, strengthen cybersecurity and accelerate the energy and digital transition.
A joint Equans Digital x Equans Process Solutions stand
From March 30 to April 2, you could meet our teams on stand 5T176 - Hall 5A - Zone Smart, a space designed to discover :
- our expertise in OT (Robotics, Automation, SCADA, & MES); IT (Connectivity, Sovereign Hosting & Cybersecurity) and Data (Energy Performance, Digital Twin & AI)
- demonstrations of field solutions,
- concrete feedback on industrial performance,
- a complete vision of an industrial project "from data to process".
Alongside Equans Digital, EPS presented its design & build offer dedicated to the process industries: pharmaceuticals, batteries, semiconductors, data centers, hydrogen..
EPS covers the entire industrial lifecycle, from feasibility study to maintenance, including engineering, implementation, industrial transfer and process utilities.
Interview with Jean Eskenazi: Data & AI Driving Industrial Performance
On the occasion of Global Industrie 2026, Jean Eskenazi, Director of Data & AI Development at Equans Digital, shares his vision on the value creation of data within industrial environments.
This interview highlights the key role of Data and Artificial Intelligence in managing assets, optimising performance, improving decision-making, and supporting the digital transformation of infrastructures. It provides a concrete insight into how Equans Digital connects OT, IT, and data to address the operational challenges faced by industrial organisations.

Equans Digital took part in the official Global Industrie TV show on the theme: "Anticipate, optimise, decide: the digital twin at the heart of industrial performance". For 20 to 25 minutes, Julien Brisseau (Business Developer Data & AI) presented how the digital twin is becoming a key operational tool for maintenance,process optimisation and decision-making. Using real-life examples from manufacturers who use simulation to manage their assets, the presentation showed how a well-designed Digital Twin can accelerate studies, reduce operating costs,improve availability and secure operational choices.
The talk also took the following angle: why and how to structure a digital strategy around the digital twin (objective, scope, data, interoperability, KPIs), what results to expect and what medium-term prospects (scaling, standardisation, embedded AI).

On the occasion of Global Industrie, Pierre Hardouin spoke on the Big Stage about the electrification of uses, a key lever for industrial transformation and performance.
His speech focused on current energy issues, the decarbonisation of industrial sites, and the role of technology in supporting the transition to more sober, efficient and resilient uses.
Discover the replay of our talk on the Big Stage on the topic of "Industrial AI and Data: understand, choose, apply!"
This round table highlighted a subject at the heart of reindustrialisation and competitiveness: how to understand, choose and apply Artificial Intelligence in industry, based on field data.
The discussion revolved around a major feedback from Saint Louis Sucre (agro-industry), represented by Henri TROUART, head of the beet department. Together, they explained how the company uses data and prediction algorithms to anticipate agricultural variability and predict beet sugar production volumes 6 to 8 months in advance. The discussion addressed key questions for any manufacturer:
- What were the initial challenges and difficulties associated with natural variations in raw materials?
- Why did Saint Louis Sucre choose Equans Digital to support it on data and AI?
- How do the two companies work together, operationally, to structure, make reliable and exploit data?
- What transformations did Equans Digital bring about before and after its support?
- What are the concrete benefits: finer control, better prediction, reduced uncertainties, improved industrial decision-making?
Raphaël CONTAMIN rounded off the discussion with examples from other sectors (process, energy, utilities, manufacturing...) to demonstrate the transversality and real impact of industrial AI in decision-making and performance optimisation.
A highlight of the show: the visit of Edward Bouygues & our convivial moments
On April 1ᵉʳ, we had the pleasure of welcoming Edward BOUYGUES, Chief Operating Officer of the Bouygues Group, to our stand. His presence provided an opportunity for direct exchanges around industrial issues, digital transformation and projects led by Equans Digital and Equans Process Solutions.
To encourage meetings throughout the show, we organised lunchtime cocktails every day on our stand. These convivial moments were designed to enable visitors, customers and partners to simply chat with our teams, ask questions and discuss their needs in a more relaxed setting.
Discover the replay of our webinar "Ensuring IT/OT resilience", produced with Numeum as part of Global Industrie.
In this video, produced as part of Global Industrie and an initiative supported by Numeum, Equans Digital teams look back at a key issue for manufacturers: ensuring the resilience of IT and OT environments.
Through concrete exchanges and feedback, the video highlights best practices for strengthening industrial cybersecurity, improving collaboration between IT and OT, and securing production systems against cyber risks over the long term.
