Mobility is changing fast, shaped by shifting habits and lifestyles, emerging technologies, driverless cars, the energy and green transition, and more. At SNCF, we want to be a key player in these changes—and we want our partners to support us.

Our four top priorities shape our relationships with suppliers by adding new requirements to our specifications, making us more receptive to variant bids and disruptive strategies, and motivating us to cut costs, account for carbon emissions, promote ecodesign, and more.

Innovation drives change in companies and their ecosystems, ensuring businesses remain competitive and relevant. Both our own and our suppliers’ innovations are essential to create new synergies and achieve our ambitions.

Open innovation is an integral part of our strategy in areas that include the Internet of Things, building information modelling (BIM), robotics, and artificial intelligence platforms.

We’ve already launched a number of initiatives:

• open data with application programming interfaces (APIs) that are free up to 5,000 requests a day
• a start-up ecosystem with over 220 active companies

What we expect from you:

• value-added solutions for the top challenges we face in our areas of expertise
• the support we need to convert innovative solutions into a true competitive edge
