Capgemini augments its 5G innovation program by opening additional '5G Labs' in France and India

As catalysts for innovation, the new 5G Labs offer organizations across industries the opportunity to explore, test, deploy and put 5G at the heart of their business.

Paris, March 16, 2021 - Capgemini Group has continued to implement its "Intelligent Industry" strategy with the opening of two labs to enable industry experimentation and deployment of 5G and Edge technologies. Located in Paris and Mumbai, each of these 5G Labs is designed to help organizations across every industry to pivot their business to be ready to take advantage of  the 5G and Edge revolution, driving their data-driven transformation towards Intelligent Industry. They complement the 5G Lab for telecommunications companies, enterprises and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) which opened in December 2020 in Portugal, focused on the development of network capabilities and solutions.

The multidisciplinary team of experts at the labs will accompany organizations in the exploration of the latest use cases; experiencing new perspectives on how 5G is transforming their industry; and in helping them to build, monetize, and strategize what 5G brings next for their business. Services include strategy, ideation and planning, use case design and development, and ecosystem orchestration and integration.
