Bordeaux Métropole is a French metropolitan area with a bold vision for digital public policy, where innovation serves the needs of the territory and its residents.

Bringing together 28 municipalities and more than 800,000 inhabitants, Bordeaux Métropole plays a key role in everyday life, from transportation and mobility to housing, urban planning, economic development, environmental protection, water and waste management, digital access, and cultural and sports facilities.

Committed to making digital innovation a driver of public value, Bordeaux Métropole fosters the development and deployment of digital solutions that address real-world challenges, improve public services and support territorial transitions. It promotes a responsible, inclusive and forward-looking approach to technology, while championing digital rights and ensuring that digital development respects fundamental freedoms and serves the public interest.

By combining experimentation, innovation and cooperation, Bordeaux Métropole aims to be a leading territory for digital transformation, while bringing cities’ voices into the international conversation on the future of digital innovation, urban development, and the promotion of digital rights.

Bordeaux Metropole is President of the Cities Coalition for Digital Rights (2026 – 2030), a network of over 60 cities world-wide, committed to putting human rights at the heart of the digital age.

Bordeaux Métropole pursues a responsible digital strategy in line with the mutualisation of information systems across 19 cities, including Bordeaux. The objective is to build and maintain a digital environment that is mindful of its social, societal, environmental, and ethical impacts.

In line with the law on Reducing the Environmental Footprint of the Digital Economy (REEN), Bordeaux Métropole’s responsible digital strategy was approved by the Metropolitan Council on 29 September 2023. The strategy is designed to ensure that digital development is environmentally, socially, societally and ethically responsible. This comprehensive approach is directed towards all local stakeholders, including residents, employees, schoolchildren, businesses, and associations, and is orchestrated around key areas that assert strong intentions.

Bordeaux Métropole’s commitment stems from strong convictions:

• a desire to be active stakeholders and to work together to implement a digital strategy that is chosen, not imposed
• a desire for greater autonomy and sovereignty in designing public policy and producing and using data
• a desire to promote ethics and transparency in data processing, in response to the challenges of artificial intelligence and new virtuel environments
• A desire to reach out beyond the metropolitan area to create new standards and common ground at local, national, European and international levels

AI-Powered Energy Renovation for Sustainable Buildings

The STACOPTIM project uses AI and data to industrialise and improve the efficiency of energy renovation in public buildings, reducing energy costs and carbon emissions while strengthening our collective resilience to extreme weather events.

AI Territory – use case

Benefitting from support of the Mistral AI’s “AI Factory”, Bordeaux Metropole aims to develop sovereign AI solutions that improve the administration efficiency, starting with the orchestration of AI agents to streamline the handling of residents’ reports and optimise their processing.

CityMood is a GovTech platform that helps local governments centralise, understand and manage citizen requests across existing channels. Emails, web forms, calls, front-desk interactions, letters, social media and online reviews can be connected progressively. AI automatically qualifies each request, detects duplicates, identifies themes and locations,routes cases to the right team while preserving a complete history from reception to response.

Dashboards turn day-to-day requests into citywide operational intelligence: recurring issues,emerging topics, neighbourhood hotspots, workload and response times. CityMood works alongside existing CRM/GRU and business tools, so municipalities can improve citizen service without forcing residents to use a new app or replacing their IT stack.

Hosted in France and designed for GDPR-compliant public-sector use, CityMood helps elected officials and municipal teams respond faster, coordinate better and make decisions grounded in what residents are actually experiencing.

CityMood unifies existing citizen-contact channels without requiring a new app or replacing municipal CRM/GRU systems.
qualifies requests, detects duplicates and recurring issues, routes cases to the right service, and turns daily interactions in
real-time territorial insights.

CityMood promotes sustainable digital practices by leveraging municipalities’ existing data and communication channels, without requiring additional hardware. By centralizing information,reducing duplication and streamlining administrative processes, our solution helps limit unnecessary resource consumption, travel and paper use while supporting more efficient public services.
