The partnership agreement was signed by METRON, an innovative digital company, and Dalkia, to provide a new energy and environmental efficiency management solution for industrial plants that is both customisable and suitable for all business sectors.

The Dalkia Analytics powered by METRON solution allies Dalkia’s knowledge of energy efficiency with METRON’s cutting-edge energy intelligence technology, combining big data with artificial intelligence. Manufacturers will thus be able to continuously optimise their facilities’ energy efficiency, saving up to 15% on their energy bill in the process.

Manufacturers consume almost a quarter of France’s energy and a third of its electricity1. Multiple schemes have been launched to assist this sector in decarbonising its business activities in line with standard ISO 50001 which promotes the implementation of an energy management system. The Dalkia Analytics powered by METRON solution is designed to help manufacturers with this process, facilitating their energy transition and increasing their competitiveness.

Chairwoman and CEO of Dalkia Sylvie Jéhanno says: “The launch of this innovative solution, created in partnership with METRON, will help consolidate our manufacturing clients’ performance during their energy and digital transitions. This new service is enabling manufacturers to enter Industry 4.0: they are optimising their facilities’ operating systems, saving energy and minimising their carbon footprint.”

I’m proud that a leader in the French energy services industry has chosen METRON technology to take its clients even further in their energy transition process. This non-equity-based partnership will also allow us to offer our clients new services and to rapidly grow our business in France, whilst also continuing with our overseas expansion which already generates 75% of our turnover. Our partnership with Dalkia thus constitutes a key step in our growth as a company,”adds Vincent Sciandra, CEO and founder of METRON.

Dalkia, working with you to step up your sustainable energy performance.

Dalkia, a subsidiary of the EDF group, assists its clients with their energy and digital transformations thanks to its dual lines of business: the promotion of local renewable energy sources and energy saving. Dalkia offers its clients tailor-made solutions for each building, each city, each community and each industrial site to help them meet the energy transition challenge and to make them smarter.

METRON aspires to transform energy into a profit centre within the industrial sector (www.metronlab.com).

Using its energy intelligence solution, the METRON-EVA® Factory platform (Energy Virtual Assistant) draws on the many data sources that already exist within factories and employs cutting-edge technology to proactively identify opportunities for energy optimisation and to connect clients with decentralised energy assets. It employs more than 80 energy experts, data scientists and specialised energy engineers in Europe, Central and South America, the Middle Eastand Asia. They help manufacturers from all business sectors to maximise the value of their data and to implement their energy optimisation process.

Betbazar Explores Cricket in iGaming: What Operators Need to Know

Published

Revolutionising Cricket Premier League: Max Sevostianov – COO at Betbazar, shares insights on how AI-Cricket and hyper-local data products are helping Operators engage, convert, and retain players year-round

 

With the start of the Premier League cricket season in India, what key trends are you seeing in the iGaming industry around this sport?

We’re witnessing explosive demand for faster, more immersive cricket content. Ball-by-ball gaming is really taking off, driven by players who crave real-time action and micro-engagements. This has pushed Operators to double down on mobile-first experiences — speed, accessibility, and UX are everything in this space.

Another standout trend is hyper-localisation. It’s no longer enough to offer cricket content in English — platforms are integrating regional languages, tailoring promotions based on local fandoms, and weaving in fantasy-style formats that resonate deeply with Indian audiences.

Perhaps the biggest shift we’re seeing is strategic: cricket is evolving from a seasonal event to a sustainable, year-round revenue channel. Operators aren’t just riding the IPL wave — they’re building ecosystems around domestic leagues, international fixtures, and even niche formats, ensuring engagement doesn’t drop off after the final.

 

Do you think the league will trigger a revenue surge for South Asian Operators? What should they focus on to make the most of this opportunity?

Absolutely — the Premier League is essentially Black Friday for cricket in India and the wider South Asian market. It’s the peak of the calendar, where user engagement and volumes skyrocket. But high traffic alone doesn’t guarantee high returns.

To truly capitalize on this opportunity, Operators need robust infrastructure. That means rock-solid uptime, especially during critical moments like the toss or final overs when activity spikes. Fast bet settlements, wide market coverage — from traditional formats to more niche or prop bets — and content that keeps users hooked, like virtuals or eCricket, are all must-haves.

This season, the winners won’t just be those with the most users — they’ll be the ones who can scale seamlessly, automate efficiently, and deliver content that’s as thrilling as the match itself.

 

What cricket-related products are currently making the biggest impact in the iGaming market?

Three products are really making waves right now.

First, Virtual (AI) and eCricket formats are proving to be game-changers. These always-on experiences keep players engaged even between live matches, maintaining momentum throughout the season and beyond.

Second, high-frequency data feeds are unlocking a new level of interactivity. Instant markets, player props, and ball-by-ball gaming are now the norm, providing users with a dynamic and deeply immersive experience, especially appealing to mobile users who seek fast, responsive gameplay.

Finally, localised and gamified content is crucial. We’re seeing strong traction with fantasy-style elements and UI’s designed specifically for cricket fans. When combined with regional language support and tailored promotions, this kind of personalisation boosts both engagement and long-term retention.

These innovations are driving serious volume — and, more importantly, keeping players coming back.

 

Betbazar recently launched a new product – AI Cricket. Can you walk us through its key features and what makes it so promising?

AI-Cricket is the latest innovation on Betbazar’s marketplace, and it’s setting a new benchmark for virtual sports. At its core, it delivers 24/7 AI-powered cricket matches with realistic gameplay that mirrors live action — from batting styles to fielding dynamics — all generated by advanced algorithms.

What truly sets AI Cricket apart is its end-to-end automation. Everything from match creation to odds generation is fully automated, allowing Operators to run with minimal overhead and maintain a consistent 8% margin, without the need for manual trading.

On the user side, it’s all about engagement. The product supports fantasy-inspired modes and even customisable avatars, offering a highly immersive experience that feels fresh every time. And because it’s always available, it gives Operators a powerful tool to drive retention, even during downtime in the real-world sports calendar.

So AI-Cricket blends innovation with profitability, making it a standout product for today’s cricket-focused iGaming market.

Сricket coverage in Betbazar’s Live Data Feed is described as unique. How broad is the coverage, and what specific advantages does it offer to operators?

Betbazar’s Live Data Feed offers one of the most comprehensive and operator-friendly cricket solutions in the market today. We’re talking about 15,000+ pre-match and over 9,000 live Cricket & Kabaddi Events, and an additional 10,000+ AI Cricket events each year — a scale that ensures operators can engage users year-round.

But what really sets it apart is the quality behind the quantity. Settlement times for top events are incredibly fast, typically within five minutes after the match, giving players confidence and keeping the gaming process flow smooth.

From a technical perspective, we’ve built it for performance, featuring low-latency updates, a high SLA for reliability, and customisable margins that allow Operators to fine-tune their offerings to suit different markets and risk profiles.

In short, it’s a powerful, high-performance data solution designed to meet the fast-paced demands of modern cricket, enabling operators to stay ahead of the game.
