For the 3rd year running, JFD and Casino Group continue to join forces. Casino, a retail pioneer committed to a technological transformation guided by a profoundly human vision of artificial intelligence. JFD, an international accelerator and business network dedicated to the women who are shaping the economy of tomorrow; in 13 years, it has become the benchmark partner for the largest industrial and technological groups and high-potential start-ups.
This partnership is in line with JFD’s 2025 campaign: Women rAIsing, aimed at bringing out and promoting the most promising female talents who will shape tomorrow’s AI.
Stéphanie Zolesio, CEO of Casino Immobilier & FinTechs and a member of Casino Group’s Executive Committee, is on the editorial board of the European AI Barometer by JFD and embodies this vision of building AI that serves the common good. Through her testimony, she illustrates how Casino Group is placing AI at the heart of its businesses, while ensuring that it remains a performance lever, but above all an ethical tool, accessible and designed for everyone.
» Our collaboration with JFD, which we are continuing for the third year at Casino Group, is a long-term one and reflects our commitment to more inclusive artificial intelligence. Through JFD’s 2025 Women rAIsing campaign, we are affirming our desire to give women a central role in the tech professions, because technology designed by everyone and for everyone is the condition for truly shared progress. « – Stéphanie Zolesio, CEO of Casino Immobilier & FinTechs – Groupe Casino
Casino Group is now deploying AI designed by and for its businesses, with concrete use cases in legal, retail, supply chain, marketing and customer service. Whether it’s automating the analysis of leases with ImmoChat, improving the creation of product sheets using generative AI at Cdiscount or forecasting sales at Monoprix, each project meets an operational need and is designed to have an impact.
To spread this AI culture on a large scale, the Group has launched the AI Academy, a one-day training course that has already raised awareness among more than 400 employees. A secure prompts platform also supports day-to-day use, within a framework defined by a responsible use charter, where the human element remains central and the data protected.
» Because AI is only of value if it is guided by strong principles, the partnership between JFD and Casino Group over the past 3 years embodies a shared vision: to innovate differently, with responsibility, transparency and ambition. – « Delphine Remy-Boutang, Founder & CEO JFD
AI at the service of everyone, businesses and society: this is the course that Casino Group and JFD have set themselves, together. Because the future of tech can only be built sustainably by combining excellence, diversity… and inclusion.
