Summary
The Direction générale des Entreprises (DGE) has published the list of the 30 winners of the call for expressions of interest "Artisanat : innovons ensemble", intended to identify innovative solutions for craftspeople, presented at an event on 7 October 2026. Among the 20 featured winners and the 10 honorary winners, several solutions rely on artificial intelligence applied to craft trades: car diagnostics (Diagia), automated costing of construction quotes (Renalto, Habil, Kelvin technologies), handling of telephone calls (Honax), AI vision for quality control in tanneries (Seenovate), management of energy renovation projects (Argile), and generation of visuals for craft designers (CANOVA). Other innovations presented are unrelated to AI (exoskeletons, virtual reality, recycled materials). The call for expressions of interest also aimed to encourage meetings between solution providers and craft businesses, mostly micro-businesses and SMEs in construction, automotive or food processing.
