AXA Group Operations and Group Data, AI & Innovation
In recent years, significant work has been done to digitize AXA's business model. Nevertheless, due to massive technological changes, customers' expectations and behaviors have considerably evolved.

Thus, we are convinced that we must accelerate our technological transformation to achieve our ambition to become an innovative tech-led company.

Massive opportunities offered by data and new technologies arise both for our traditional insurance business and for new services to achieve our Payer to Partner ambition.

AXA Group Operations sets the tone and must play its role as one of the major catalysts of AXA's global transformation.

We are the ones triggering and empowering the evolution of our insurance business model through technology and innovation, driving its concrete implementation globally at speed, with a high quality of advisory and execution.

Within AXA Group Operations, Group Data, AI & Innovation (GDAI) explores and scales the value of data, AI, digital transformation, emerging technologies (IoT, Geospatial, Blockchain, Quantum Computing, etc.) as well as innovative business ideas with the potential to disrupt the current insurance business model and to shape future opportunities to better partner in our customers' lives.

GDAI and its spin-offs consist of 200+ inspiring minds located in Paris, Barcelona, London, Lausanne (on the EPFL campus) in Lausanne, and on San Francisco (on the Stanford campus) incubating and deploying solutions in co-creation and collaboration with AXA operating entities and strategic partners around the world.
