Anne and her brother are NIMA (not from an agricultural background). They visited many farms, particularly dairy farms, with the initial idea of opening a cheese dairy. Good cheese requires good milk and a beautiful farm.

However, the reality is that farming and livestock breeding are currently difficult, low-paying, and unsustainable professions. The solution quickly became apparent: work on a project aimed at deploying autonomous green energy generation by utilizing the raw material resource that is animal waste from livestock farms.

Anne, an engineer from Grande Ecole Engineering Programme Arts et Métiers Grande Ecole Engineering Programme Arts et Métiers Class of 2021), has always been personally committed to fostering harmony between the animal and human worlds.

👉 Together with his brother, an artificial intelligence engineer, they are now incubated at the Arts et Métiers campus incubator Arts et Métiers Paris and recently won the Entreprendre pour demain award from the Sopra Steria Foundation-Institut de France!

Thanks to this award, the start-up GERARD FARM will receive €10,000 in funding, comprehensive support for the project and entrepreneurial methodology from Vianeo, and six months of incubation at Planetic Lab in Paris . A mentor from Sopra Steria will also provide support for the project throughout its duration.

This program responds to the observation that manufacturers currently need to be able to manage large amounts of data effectively, understand how data analysis and AI can contribute to business development, and know how to deploy these methods if they prove beneficial.

This program focuses on the practical application of data and AI in industry, combining theoretical knowledge with hands-on training. Students develop specialized skills in analytics, machine learning, and data management, preparing them for engineering roles in the digitalization of industry.

The aim of this program is therefore to offer training focused on the practical use of data and AI in industry, closely aligned with the issues faced by businesses, rather than training in purely technological aspects (how algorithms work, implementation, etc.).

The training takes place on a work-study basis, under apprenticeship or professional training contracts, with a theoretical component delivered through a hybrid teaching method combining distance learning and/or face-to-face teaching on campus, and a work placement component delivered according to the following schedule: 2 weeks at school / 2 weeks at the company, then 2 weeks / 3 weeks.

A significant portion of the courses are taught in English.
