Cédric François

Entrepreneur

To meet the technological challenges of the company he founded, Cédric François seeks to involve his teams in an ethical and practical way. He relies on resonance, the active principle of the technology, to develop a management style that combines control and letting go, availability and sensitivity, verticality and horizontality. A way of revisiting the keys to team commitment: resonance as a new way of looking at management. Driven by the desire to create and undertake, and after an initial career in the fields of humanitarian aid, sales and international marketing, Cédric created a design agency in 2003 where he experimented with eco-design and design thinking. Aware of the limits to growth, he founded Equium in 2017 to serve life and humanity by using the biomimetic thermal effect of acoustics in a incredible entrepreneurial journey.

As the Bouygues Group's urban developer-operator and property development company, we implement residential, office, retail and neighborhood development projects. From design to operation, reducing the impact of our buildings on the environment, as part of our vision of sustainable construction, is one of our main concerns in improving the quality of urban life. Our new residences become models in terms of design, energy efficiency, environmental impact and harmony with nature.

EDF makes energy innovation a major lever of its strategy, serving its customers, its internal transformation and the transition to a low-carbon society. We invest in research and development in 3 areas: the electricity transition, the climate transition, and the digital and societal transition. Because we are smarter when we work together, EDF places great emphasis on open innovation. We are convinced that the energy transition must be co-constructed.
