Ogénie

Ôgénie is a start-up of the ENGIE Group, which develops a social innovation offer dedicated to collective housing; which aims to re-enchant life in residence by promoting the best solution for living together and well aging at home! It is based on 3 findings: a digital gap between generations, the disintegration of social bonds and aging. To address these issues Ôgénie has developed a new offer co-developed locally with user communities and based on two complementary approaches. Ôgénie supports the site operators with a new offer combining social and digital innovations :

A methodology to create a residence project to promote the well aging and homecare solutions;
A digital platform managing the animation of the residence and strengthening human ties;
Connected services for the most vulnerable seniors, in order to secure housing and strengthen the bond with their loved ones.

Commissioned in 2017 Ôgénie is now present in 2 communities and used by a hundred users on a daily basis. The goal of the start-up is to re-enchant the residential life of 4,500 inhabitants by the end of 2018.

Please

Please is the first franchise network in France based on the development of a mobile application. This mobile application makes it possible to get delivered at home the whole range of products or services of local shops. It is built locally by the franchised partner in suburban or rural areas where there is a lack of digital services for inhabitants.

Developed in a decentralized way, the Please solution is even more anchored in the local fabric thanks to trade associations and social integration associations - for the search for deliverymen. The Please application is already active in the city of Mantes-la-Jolie (Paris Area) and registers 200 orders per week and 2,578 registered users. The goal of the startup is to roll-out its mobile application in 40 cities in France by the end of 2018.
