Akkodis Sparks AI & Green Buzz at Paris Air Show 2025

It’s not every day that a tech company struts into the Paris Air Show with the kind of confidence usually reserved for fighter pilots and French chefs. But Akkodis—armed with artificial intelligence, an eco-conscience, and 9,000 brainy engineers—has touched down at Le Bourget with all engines blazing.


The 55th edition of the Paris Air Show might be steeped in legacy and jet-fuelled tradition, but this year, the buzzword isn’t just Boeing or Airbus—it’s brains. Smart industry brains. And Akkodis, that clever offshoot of the Adecco Group, is front and centre, rewriting the aviation narrative with a hefty dose of digital engineering and a pinch of planetary care.


Where Engineering Meets Experience (and a Good Bit of French Flair)

Tucked into Chalet #303 on Line B—an address as coveted as a window seat in business class—Akkodis has rolled out more than just a fancy coffee machine. Visitors are invited to stroll down its AI Path and Sustainability Zone, a sort of engineering catwalk where hardware meets heart.


Forget boring brochures. This is immersive storytelling with simulations, digital animations, and, yes, even a metaverse drone demo thrown in for good measure. The company’s message is as clear as a blue-sky flyover: aviation doesn’t have to choose between performance and planet.


The AI Path: Brains Before Burners

First stop: AI. Not the cold, robotic variety that gives sci-fi films a bad name, but the kind that helps helicopters train their pilots, aircraft predict their tantrums, and drones patrol the virtual skies. Think of it as Siri with wings—only with fewer playlists and more predictive maintenance algorithms.


One of the showstoppers is a predictive maintenance tool that could make unscheduled landings a thing of the past. Another, a helicopter cockpit simulator, proves that learning to fly can now happen before you even step foot in a chopper.


And then there’s the drone-on-the-metaverse moment, which sounds ridiculous until you see it—and then it becomes clear we’re not far from airport security manned by holograms.


The Green Bit: Sustainability with Swagger

If AI is the brain, then sustainability is the soul. Akkodis doesn’t just want to decarbonise a few engines; it’s aiming to turn the whole aviation value chain into a lean, green, high-flying machine.


From hydrogen-powered aircraft concepts to energy-regenerating landing gear and eco-friendly supply chains, the tech firm is determined to shake off aviation’s grubby carbon boots and slip into something a bit more breathable.


Visitors to the chalet are treated to scale models, snappy animations on tablets, and lively chats about how being green isn’t just for Earth Hour. It’s for every hour.


A Powerhouse Partnership: Microsoft in the Hangar

Of course, no tech revolution is complete without the obligatory cameo from Microsoft, and Akkodis delivers. Their partnership brings heavyweight computing to the cockpit, combining cloud cleverness with aviation know-how.


Together, they’re helping clients tackle data mountains, streamline operations, and build a sky that’s smarter, safer, and a good deal less smoggy.


Straight from the Flight Deck

Jo Debecker, President and CEO of Akkodis, summed it up with corporate poetry: “We’re not just showing up; we’re showing off. Our mission is to help aviation players unlock their full potential through AI, ER&D, and an ecosystem of experts.”


Meanwhile, Yves-Marie Boissonnet, who heads Akkodis France and South EMEA, delivered a touch of Gallic pride: “This is our second Paris Air Show as Akkodis, and we’re flying high. Our French teams are at the forefront of innovation, making aerospace more efficient, connected and sustainable.”


Inclusion: The Quiet Engine of Innovation

It’s not all bits, bytes, and blueprints either. Akkodis has turned a spotlight on diversity in engineering with discussions like “Women in Smart Industry” and other sessions exploring equity in the hangar. Because let’s face it—no amount of AI can replace the innovation that springs from a truly inclusive team.


Final Boarding Call: The Future Is Already Taxiing

So here we are, at the world’s premier aviation show, watching a tech firm steal the spotlight not with noise, but nuance. Akkodis has made it clear: the future of aerospace is about working smarter, not just faster, and saving the planet while we’re at it.
