Bureau Veritas expands strategic growth with multiple acquisitions
Through collaboration with Microsoft and other institutions, Danone aims to create a dynamic and inclusive skilling environment that evolves with workforce needs
Danone has announced it is exploring a multi-year collaboration with Microsoft to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) throughout Danone’s operations.
Through the collaboration, the companies intend to launch a Danone Microsoft AI Academy, dedicated to upskilling all Danone employees to ensure that all Danoners are equipped with the AI and digital tools they need to thrive in the new AI-driven economy.
It builds on Danone’s recently launched ‘DanSkills’ programme, which aims to upskill and reskill around 100,000 Danone employees to the jobs of the future and attract new talent. 50,000 Danone employees can already leverage AI in their day-to-day job, using tools like Microsoft Copilot.
The Academy intends to provide a wide range of learning opportunities designed to enhance AI literacy and expertise across the organisation, benefiting all employees. This includes initiatives tailored to various employee groups to ensure comprehensive training coverage.
Through collaboration with Microsoft and other institutions, Danone aims to create a dynamic and inclusive skilling environment that evolves with workforce needs. The program also aims to promote collaboration and innovation, reinforcing Danone’s commitment to empowering its employees with essential AI skills and preparing the Company for future challenges.
The collaboration with Microsoft aims to empower Danone with cutting-edge AI solutions and build use cases for all of Danone’s functions. Initially, the companies will explore creating an AI-enabled supply chain.
