Akila was honored to take part in La French Tech Shanghai’s flagship Tech for Good, Tech for Impact event, a dynamic showcase of how innovation is being harnessed to address some of the most pressing environmental and social challenges of our time.

The event brought together leaders and experts from across industries—including energy, education, health, and sustainable production—highlighting the growing momentum behind purpose-driven innovation. The clear message: for technology to make a real difference, it must be scalable, measurable, and rooted in responsibility.

Energy Management in the Spotlight

One of the central themes of the conference was energy—how organizations can accelerate the transition to low-carbon operations while maintaining efficiency and resilience.

During the “Energy Saving & Management” panel, Akila’s Vice President, Philippe Obry, joined representatives from Schneider Electric, L’Oréal, and New Energy Nexus to explore how digital platforms are transforming the way buildings operate.

Philippe shared Akila’s perspective on why energy performance must be understood at both the granular and portfolio-wide level. By connecting all energy systems into a single unified platform, Akila empowers organizations with a real-time view of their energy usage, providing actionable intelligence across multiple sites and assets.

From Data to Action: AI-Driven Energy Optimization

At the heart of Akila’s approach is the use of AI agents that go beyond passive monitoring. These intelligent systems are designed to:

• Identify inefficiencies and anomalies before they escalate.

• Coordinate energy management dynamically across portfolios.

• Recommend and implement interventions that deliver measurable reductions in energy consumption.

• Optimize performance continuously, not just at reporting cycles.

By bridging the gap between data and action, Akila helps clients unlock scalable energy savings that support both sustainability commitments and financial goals.

A Franco-Global Footprint

As a company with deep roots in the French business ecosystem and a growing presence across Asia and Europe, Akila is uniquely positioned to serve organizations at the intersection of technology, sustainability, and real estate.

The trust we’ve earned from forward-looking companies reflects a shared belief: digitalization is essential for achieving ambitious climate targets while ensuring that business operations remain resilient and efficient.

Beyond Infrastructure: Empowering Better Choices

At Akila, we believe that building intelligence is about more than infrastructure. It’s about empowering people and organizations to make smarter, more sustainable choices—choices that benefit both their operations and the planet.

Events like Tech for Good, Tech for Impact reaffirm the importance of collaboration between innovators, corporates, and changemakers. Together, we can accelerate the shift toward a built environment that is cleaner, greener, and more human-centered.

We extend our thanks to La French Tech Shanghai and S-Tron for curating such an impactful gathering and for driving the conversation around how technology can—and must—deliver real, positive change.
