At Akila, we are passionate not only about shaping the future of smart buildings and sustainable cities—but also about cultivating the next generation of global talent who will help bring that vision to life. That’s why we were thrilled to recently welcome students from Université Paris Dauphine–PSL to our offices for an immersive exchange on technology, sustainability, and the future of the built environment.
This visit represents more than just a campus-company connection—it reflects Akila’s ongoing commitment to collaboration between academia and industry, and to inspiring emerging leaders at the intersection of digital innovation and environmental impact.
A Prestigious Institution, A Shared Vision
Université Paris Dauphine is a globally recognized institution known for its excellence in economics, management, and decision sciences. Its students are future innovators, strategists, and policy leaders—many of whom are deeply engaged in the fields of ESG, digital transformation, and sustainable development.
Their visit to Akila offered a firsthand look at how these academic foundations are being applied in real-world contexts—through live demonstrations of our AI-powered digital twin platform, conversations with our interdisciplinary team, and discussions about the global challenges cities and buildings face today.

This visit marks the start of a deeper dialogue between Akila and Université Paris Dauphine—one that centers on knowledge-sharing, innovation, and professional development. Key objectives of this collaboration include:
- Real-World Learning: Giving students direct exposure to how data, AI, and IoT technologies are driving smarter, more sustainable infrastructure.
- Thought Leadership: Engaging in shared conversations about the future of urban environments, ESG, and how digital platforms like Akila are shaping policy and practice.
- Talent Development: Identifying future opportunities for internships, research partnerships, or early career programs that give young professionals a launchpad into the green tech sector.
