01 / DGE / Artisanat : innovons ensemble

7 October 2026, Bercy

A DGE award winner, cited by France’s Minister for AI and Digital Affairs.

Honax is one of the 30 winners of “Artisanat : innovons ensemble”, a call for solutions launched by France’s Directorate General for Enterprise (DGE) to identify practical tools for craft businesses. On 7 October, we were among the 20 winners who presented their solution at the event held at Bercy.

There, France’s Minister for AI and Digital Affairs cited Honax as a concrete example of artificial intelligence at work.

“[…] to suggest use cases, for example Honax, with an AI solution that answers phone calls 24 hours a day.”

Anne Le Hénanff, Minister Delegate for Artificial Intelligence and Digital Affairs (translated from French)

02 / Paris Builders Show

28 September to 1 October 2026
Paris, Porte de Versailles

BatimatRenodaysInterclimaIdéobain

Four shows. One shared concern: answering every call.

Paris Builders Show brings together Batimat, Interclima, Idéobain and Renodays. On the very first day, Matis Nigon and Baptiste Loison presented Honax to over 300 construction professionals: answering calls, qualifying every request and booking the appointment while teams are on site.

The conversation carried on around the halls with tradespeople, business owners, networks and software publishers. One problem kept coming up: requests lost because nobody could pick up.

03 / FFB Grand Paris Île-de-France

September 2026

Starting from businesses’ day-to-day reality.

At Batimat, Matis and Baptiste met Thomas Vilmin from FFB Grand Paris Île-de-France, following several months of conversations with the federation’s Innovation Committee about what genuinely helps construction businesses.

Busy periods, simultaneous calls, a closed switchboard: our discussions start from these everyday situations and how to support the teams handling customer requests.
