Introduction

aivancity’s ‘Grande Ecole’ programme trains future AIgineers® to tackle the many economic and societal challenges associated with harnessing the potential of data and artificial intelligence:

Graduates capable of developing computer programmes that boost business performance and facilitate the transition to Industry 4.0, whilst also contributing to human progress across all fields, whilst ensuring that ethical standards evolve in line with technical and societal developments.

Graduates capable of designing and developing intelligent systems that contribute to business progress and the development of tomorrow’s society, whilst addressing the new challenges posed by cobotics (collaborative robotics or human–machine collaboration).

Recruiters are increasingly seeking young talent capable of leading innovation projects and supporting the transformation of their organisations by applying technological and scientific knowledge within a business or management context (strategy, marketing, customer relations, operations management, finance, etc.).

The AIgineers® whom we (trans)form are thus able to draw on a range of hybrid skills and lead multidisciplinary teams, linking the scientific aspects of AI and data science to business and society through open, collaborative and lean innovation approaches, and agile project management… whilst developing the ability to operate in a VUCA environment (volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous) and embracing the need to move forward without knowing everything in advance.
