What Capgemini Ventures does

Capgemini Ventures is the minority investment vehicle of Capgemini, embedded within the parent's broader innovation ecosystem. The underlying Capgemini Group is a global business and technology transformation partner founded in 1967 in Grenoble, France, and publicly listed on Euronext Paris (ticker: CAP). It reports €22.5 billion in 2023 revenues, operates in 50+ countries with approximately 337,200 employees (Q1 2024, down 6% year-on-year), and serves large enterprise clients across aerospace and defense, automotive, banking and capital markets, consumer products and retail, energy and utilities, healthcare, manufacturing, public sector, and telecommunications. Revenue is generated through three service lines: Strategy & Transformation Services (9% of revenues), Applications & Technology Services (62%), and Operations & Engineering Services (29%), delivered via multi-year enterprise contracts with project-based and managed-service pricing customized to scope and complexity.

Capgemini's core technology stack centers on AI, cloud, data, digital engineering, and software platforms. The proprietary AI portfolio includes a Generative AI Platform for enterprise experimentation and industrialization, Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) for AI-driven search visibility, an Experiential Store AI Assistant, REFLOW for supply chain disruption management, an AI Customer Engagement omnichannel hub, Retail Rewired agentic orchestrator, Product Discovery AI, RAISE for intelligent experience design, and BeInspired: SmartChef. These are primarily built on hyperscaler foundations (Microsoft Azure OpenAI, Google Cloud Gemini, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE) rather than proprietary foundation models. Delivery is organized through wholly-owned brands including Capgemini Engineering, Capgemini Invent, Sogeti, and Frog Design, supported by the Capgemini Research Institute.

The go-to-market is enterprise field sales organized by industry vertical and geography, complemented by co-sell partnerships with Microsoft, Google Cloud, SAP, and Dassault Systèmes. Marketing is anchored in research-led thought leadership (CRI ranked #1 globally for six consecutive years), major industry events (NRF, Tour de France, Ryder Cup), and a digital content engine. The customer base is concentrated in large enterprises with multi-year engagements, with named logos spanning Electrogenics Labs, Pininfarina, Solar Team Twente, and Syensqo across healthcare, automotive, education/sustainability, and chemicals. Geographic revenue mix in Q1 2024 was 28% North America, 20% France, 12% UK and Ireland, 32% Rest of Europe, and 8% Asia-Pacific and Latin America.
