Orange OpenTech Challenge: “Agentic AI, the driving force behind our services of tomorrow”


On the occasion of the upcoming Orange OpenTech, Orange Fab is launching a new challenge dedicated to agentic AI. This new edition will feature the exceptional participation of NVIDIA on the jury.


Agentic AI, with its autonomous agents capable of perceiving, reasoning, deciding, and learning, opens up new possibilities. It allows us to go further in the automation, personalization, and optimization of services, while raising challenges to be addressed, particularly around data and trust.

At Orange, we believe that by co-innovating with startups, we can build a more connected, smarter, and more human digital world. That’s why we are launching an agentic AI challenge for startups.

  • You will be proposing solutions enabling the creation, management, governance, optimization, and orchestration of AI agents, as well as the optimization of process mining.

  • Some examples of areas of application: enhanced customer experience, operational efficiency and predictive maintenance for smart industry, predictive and adaptive cybersecurity, optimized and resilient networks, IT and cloud infrastructure management and optimization, financial services optimization (banking and insurance).

  • Your solution must be innovative, marketable, or already on the market.

  • Your solution design and implementation should comply with standardization (MCP and A2A) and regulation constraints. ​

  • It must be aligned with Orange’s contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals.

  • It must comply with the six principles of Orange’s Ethical Charter on Data and Artificial Intelligence in favor of responsible AI.

Orange offers a unique framework for experimenting with and deploying large-scale agentic AI solutions by partnering with key players in advanced AI technologies. Selected startups will benefit from special support, including:
