(PRESS RELEASE) PARIS, 19-Jun-2026 — /EuropaWire/ — Bouygues is presenting a series of resilience-focused innovations at VivaTech 2026, bringing together new partnerships, pilot projects and practical solutions across its business activities.

Under the banner Bouygues For Resilience, the Group is framing its VivaTech presence around five major challenges: climate change, energy transition, resource scarcity, social change and digital transformation. The aim is to show how applied innovation, partnerships and field-tested solutions can address real-world needs across construction, cities, energy systems, digital services and mobility.

Several Bouygues subsidiaries are using VivaTech 2026 to highlight initiatives already being developed or deployed on the ground. These include more sustainable construction practices, urban cooling solutions, parental control tools, low-carbon construction site partnerships and energy storage technologies designed to support electricity grid management and renewable energy integration.

Bouygues Construction has announced two partnerships linked to Scale One, its full-scale research and innovation test site. One partnership with Saint-Gobain will allow solutions to be tested under real-life conditions. A second partnership with École nationale des ponts et chaussées will focus on developing optimised construction systems designed to reduce materials consumption.

Bouygues Immobilier is publishing a white paper on cooling homes and urban environments. The document is based on a study by Ipsos BVA involving 1,000 people in France, as well as input from around 20 scientists, elected officials, experts and stakeholders. The white paper responds to the growing impact of heatwaves on cities and housing, calling for a holistic approach that combines passive, urban and architectural solutions to adapt buildings and neighbourhoods more sustainably.

Bouygues Telecom is introducing a free parental control solution integrated directly into its BiG app. The new Kids Mode feature is designed to help parents manage children’s screen time and digital usage across smartphones, tablets and computers, regardless of the network, operating system or device being used.

Colas is presenting initiatives focused on climate adaptation and the decarbonisation of construction activities. Its StreetADAPT solution is designed to support local authorities in addressing urban heat islands, improving rainwater management and reversing land take. Colas is also working with TotalEnergies and Volvo to accelerate the decarbonisation of urban construction sites.

Equans is showcasing smart grid and storage solutions aimed at improving real-time electricity management and supporting the integration of renewable energy. These technologies are intended to help energy networks become more flexible, resilient and capable of responding to changing demand.

TF1 is presenting Ad Manager, a new platform designed to simplify the independent management of advertising campaigns, reflecting the Group’s digital technology and media innovation activities.

Marie-Luce Godinot, Senior Vice-President for Innovation, Sustainable Development and Information Systems at Bouygues, said innovation has value only when it leads to solutions that are useful, tangible and usable. She said the Group’s approach is shaped by climate change, the energy transition, resource scarcity, social change and digital transformation.

Bouygues said its resilience strategy is based on three main drivers: identifying technological developments and new practices, collaborating with a broader ecosystem of partners, and deploying innovations across the Group’s activities.

The Group’s VivaTech 2026 stand in Paris, open from 17 to 20 June, is hosting demonstrations, talks and events focused on resilience, collaborative innovation and the scaling of practical solutions.

Through Bouygues For Resilience, the Group is presenting its business units as contributors to more sustainable construction, climate-adapted cities, responsible digital services, lower-carbon worksites and smarter energy infrastructure.
