Capgemini has announced the expansion of its strategic partnership with Mistral AI and SAP to provide secure generative AI-powered solutions for organisations in regulated industries.
The collaboration is intended to support sectors such as financial services, public sector, aerospace and defence, and energy and utilities, all of which have especially stringent data requirements. By leveraging Mistral AI's generative AI models together with SAP's Business Technology Platform (BTP), Capgemini plans to develop accessible business AI use cases that also seek to minimise environmental impact through a lower carbon footprint.
Custom business AI solutions will be made available within SAP through a library of more than 50 pre-built use cases. These use cases draw on models from Mistral AI and have been validated by SAP, covering a range of industry-specific and process-driven needs. The solutions have been designed in accordance with regulations, incorporating responsible and ethical AI principles, built-in governance, and a focus on data security.
Examples of use cases provided by the collaboration include augmented field workers in aerospace and defence to help resolve non-conformities in operations, drone-based inspection for predictive maintenance in energy and utilities, and intelligent indirect purchasing processes applicable across a variety of industries to streamline supplier selection.
Capgemini stated that the collaboration aims to help organisations accelerate the deployment of customised generative AI solutions within SAP, particularly for those organisations that require secure environments to meet regulatory or privacy obligations.
Marjorie Janiewicz, Mistral AI Executive Board member and Global Head of Revenue, said, "This new collaboration between Capgemini, Mistral AI and SAP unlocks new high-value business use cases for organizations seeking to augment their operations with generative AI capabilities. By combining our frontier, multilingual and highly customizable AI models with Capgemini's expertise in delivering real world industry-specific generative AI solutions, and the assurance of SAP's robust technology platform, we are making the effective integration of AI more accessible for all organizations, including those in highly regulated industries."
Fernando Alvarez, Chief Strategy and Development Officer and Group Executive Board member at Capgemini, added, "Enterprises are increasingly turning to generative AI to enhance their resilience, streamline operations and accelerate time to value. As a trusted business and technology transformation partner to our clients, Capgemini is committed to helping them evolve their critical business processes through the secure and tailored application of AI. Together with Mistral AI and SAP, we can empower organizations to access a broad range of innovative and customized AI models, to drive significant business value and foster sustainable growth."
Thomas Saueressig, Member of the Executive Board of SAP SE, Customer Services and Delivery, commented, "The collaboration is a powerful example of how we are enabling enterprises to leverage the power of generative AI to address their most critical business challenges. With SAP Business Technology Platform as a secure and scalable foundation, we're enabling organizations, especially those in regulated industries, to adopt AI with confidence, trust, and speed in a way that delivers real business value."
Capgemini has also worked closely with SAP to expand its dedicated Global SAP Center of Excellence, which helps organisations tackle critical business challenges with generative AI. The partners have previously collaborated with Brose, an automotive supplier, to deliver an AI-powered assistant for suppliers known as SupplierGPT. This platform, built on SAP BTP, has enhanced efficiency within Brose's supplier network by improving onboarding and standardising processes.
Michael Seifert, Business Product Owner Brose Supplier Portal, Brose Fahrzeugteile SE & Co. KG, remarked, "Together with Capgemini, we were able to implement SupplierGPT, from idea to reality within a few weeks. This solution enables the seamless integration of new innovations and supports rapid go-to-market, thanks to the AI services in SAP BTP. This co-innovation model combines the expertise of Capgemini, Brose and SAP to allow joint pilots to be designed, implemented, and tested quickly."
Capgemini's efforts in this space have been recognised with the 2025 SAP Pinnacle Award for Business AI Innovation in the Customer AI use case category. The award highlights the performance and achievements of SAP's partners around the world who demonstrate capability in delivering AI-powered solutions.
