La Poste Empowers the Employee Experience with Microsoft 365 Copilot
La Poste · France
La Poste, the French national postal operator with 233,000 employees, began deploying Microsoft 365 Copilot in 2023 to an initial group of 300 users, expanding to 2,000 across roughly fifteen job functions including HR, legal, marketing and communications. Employees use Copilot to summarise meetings, draft briefing notes, simplify legal documents, compare contracts, and generate social media content. The deployment was supported by partner Wavestone and a network of local ambassadors. 95% of employees want to keep their Copilot licenses.
Overview
La Poste, the French national postal operator with 233,000 employees, began deploying Microsoft 365 Copilot in 2023 to an initial group of 300 users, expanding to 2,000 across roughly fifteen job functions including HR, legal, marketing and communications.

The deployment was supported by partner Wavestone and a network of local ambassadors. 95% of employees want to keep their Copilot licenses.
The challenge
La Poste wanted to give its 233,000 employees the best digital tools to enrich and streamline their work experience as part of a broader digital transformation, and to offer a secure, controlled alternative after noticing some employees had started using different AI tools on their own.
The solution
La Poste began deploying Microsoft 365 Copilot in 2023 to an initial group of 300 users, planning the rollout in partnership with Microsoft and Modern Work Partner of the Year Wavestone. Since Copilot is integrated into existing Microsoft 365 applications, it benefits from the same cybersecurity framework, data governance and permission management already in place. Teams use it to summarise meetings, draft briefing notes, accelerate project management, draft job descriptions and analyse CVs, simplify and compare legal contracts, generate social media content, and analyse customer satisfaction survey sentiment.
Reported business value
95% of employees want to keep their Copilot licenses, and 88% say it offers digital well-being, 71% say it helps with creativity, 88% with reflection, and 91% with facilitating access to information. Even simple use cases like summarising a meeting save up to half an hour to an hour a day.

Estonia rolls out Bürokratt, an AI-guided virtual assistant network for public services
Bürokratt is a network of chatbots deployed on Estonian public sector institutions' websites, letting people obtain information from institutions and use public and information services via virtual assistants. It is a state-created, AI-based digital assistant that helps institutions deliver modern, efficient, around-the-clock customer service using large language models.
Austrian Academy of Sciences unlocks Ancient Greek with Mistral
The Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW), together with its Austrian Archaeological Institute, partnered with Mistral and services partner Reply to build Apollo, described as the first advanced large language model for Ancient Greek. Apollo is trained on a specialized corpus of 600 million words of historical Greek text plus tens of thousands of published inscriptions and papyri, helping researchers reconstruct damaged texts and identify thematic connections across collections. The OeAW reports Apollo turns work that once took years into hours, addressing over one million unread Greek papyri worldwide, with future phases planned for semantic search and handwritten inscription decipherment.
MITRE's Federal AI Sandbox accelerates government AI research with NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD
Nonprofit MITRE built the Federal AI Sandbox, powered by NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD, to give federal sponsors an affordable, centralized space to test and deploy AI and machine learning across domains such as weather forecasting, cybersecurity, and public benefits administration. The DGX SuperPOD delivers a 300-fold performance increase over MITRE's previous AI computing capabilities and supports thousands of researchers; MITRE is using it with NVIDIA Omniverse and NVIDIA Earth-2 to develop 1-kilometer precision weather forecasts with NOAA and the National Weather Service, plus a foundational model for cybersecurity threat analysis across 190 nations.
Israel's Meteorological Service Predicts the Weather Using NVIDIA Earth-2
The Israel Meteorological Service integrated an AI weather model called F3, powered by NVIDIA Earth-2 and NVIDIA PhysicsNeMo (including the CorrDiff neural network), into its forecasting system to achieve hyperlocal 2.5-kilometer resolution precipitation forecasts. F3 achieved 90 percent lower computational costs compared to running a classic non-AI numerical weather prediction model on a CPU cluster, delivering forecasts in minutes rather than hours, and saved 20-30 percent of the Tel Aviv-Yafo Municipality's preparedness budget for things like urban flood safety. CorrDiff was trained to emulate IMS's regional high-resolution ICON model using low-resolution ECMWF IFS input, enabling four high-resolution forecasts per day. Partners including the Israeli Police, the National Fire and Rescue Authority, the Ministry of Transportation and the National Road Company have adopted the forecasts, and IMS used F3 to issue a high-resolution flood map during a January storm that dropped 150 millimeters of rain in six hours.
