Our achievements

Technological expertise serving critical sectors

Energy, cities and infrastructure connected through a shared technology platform.

F4 operates in sectors where technology can profoundly transform how people use products and services, as well as the business models behind them.

This diversity is a strength. A technology developed for one sector can inform thinking in another. An algorithm, a software architecture, a 3D technology or an approach to data processing can be reused, adapted and enhanced in different environments.

Our fields of intervention

Energy (Voltalis)

Consumption management, flexibility, charging, storage, optimisation and electricity markets.

Real estate & territories (Bien’ici)

Mapping, 3D representation, real estate data, platforms and tools that help people better understand and make use of territories.

Infrastructure (E6)

Digitising and managing complex infrastructure through data, real-time systems and artificial intelligence.

Electrical equipment in several homes connected to an electricity consumption management system.

Voltalis

Managing electricity consumption to support grid flexibility

In the energy sector, F4 has notably contributed to the development of Voltalis, a European player in intelligent electricity consumption management.

The project combines several complex technological building blocks:

connected devices and hardware;
the Internet of Things;
data collection and processing;
control algorithms;
cloud infrastructure;
real-time systems;
electricity consumption optimisation.

The challenge is to create infrastructure capable of connecting distributed physical equipment to algorithms and platforms that can manage millions of devices in real time.

It is precisely this ability to connect hardware, software, data, algorithms and infrastructure that illustrates F4’s end-to-end approach.

Bien’ici

Turning raw real estate databases into seamless, immersive user experiences

F4 also created and supported Bien’ici, now one of France’s leading real estate platforms.

The project brings together multiple areas of expertise in technology and product development:

large-scale data processing;
digital platforms;
mapping;
visualisation and 3D technologies;
product design;
user experience;
infrastructure and software architecture.

The ambition is the same: to turn complex technology and large volumes of data into a simple, effective and useful experience for the end user.

Wind turbines, solar panels, energy storage and an electrical substation brought together in an energy system.

E6

Integrating and unlocking the value of new renewable energy generation infrastructure

E6 is an integrated technology platform dedicated to the development and management of renewable energy, connecting producers, consumers and electricity markets.

E6’s activities include:

aggregation and market access;
long-term supply agreements;
renewable energy project development;
maximising the value of the electricity generated.

This activity draws on expertise in data processing, optimisation, algorithms, modelling and energy systems, with a shared objective: to better integrate and unlock the value of new renewable electricity generation infrastructure.
