Act record: TotalEnergies was the industrial customer; Cognite was the technology provider; the announcement appeared on totalenergies.com; the earliest directly dated observation in this reviewed source is 26 September 2025, with a prospective three-year implementation period and no verified cancellation by October 2026.⁷

Israeli-origin enterprise technology

No public evidence identified establishing TotalEnergies as a direct customer of Check Point, Wiz, SentinelOne, CyberArk, NICE, Verint, Claroty, Palo Alto Networks, or comparable Israeli-origin cybersecurity vendors in the sources examined.

Integrator-bundled Israeli technology

No public evidence identified establishing that Accenture or another named TotalEnergies integrator deployed Israeli-origin cybersecurity or surveillance products specifically for TotalEnergies.

Technology dependency

The public AWS, Azure, SAP, and Cognite disclosures concern substantial enterprise or industrial workloads; the reviewed announcements do not establish that these workloads are hosted in Israel or routed through Israeli-controlled infrastructure.^{3, 5, 6, 7}

Surveillance, Biometrics & Retail Technology

Facial recognition and biometric identification

No public evidence identified establishing TotalEnergies’ deployment of Israeli-origin facial-recognition, biometric-identification, gait-analysis, or cashierless-retail technology from Trigo, BriefCam, Oosto, Trax, or comparable vendors.

Behavioural analytics and workforce monitoring

No public evidence identified establishing TotalEnergies’ use of Israeli-origin predictive policing, sentiment monitoring, workforce surveillance, or behavioural-intelligence systems.

Industrial monitoring

TotalEnergies’ public innovation material identifies industrial monitoring and optimisation technologies, including data-driven solutions for equipment performance, environmental monitoring, and production efficiency; these disclosures establish industrial applications rather than surveillance of identifiable individuals.²

Third-party surveillance deployment

No public evidence identified establishing that TotalEnergies’ cloud or systems-integration partners supplied Israeli-origin biometric or surveillance systems specifically for the company.

Settlement-specific surveillance

No public evidence identified establishing deployment of TotalEnergies-owned or TotalEnergies-supplied digital surveillance products in Israeli settlements or occupied Palestinian territory.

Cloud Infrastructure, Data Residency & Sovereign Cloud Participation

Cloud infrastructure

TotalEnergies’ 2021 corporate announcements separately identify Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services as technology platforms supporting the company’s digital transformation.^{3, 5}

Accenture’s subsequently published implementation case study establishes the use of AWS for TotalEnergies’ global SAP migration, including operational security and financial-control measures.⁶

Israeli data centres

No public evidence identified establishing that TotalEnergies SE operates, leases, or co-locates data-centre infrastructure in Israel.

Project Nimbus

No public evidence identified establishing TotalEnergies SE or an identified integrated subsidiary as a Project Nimbus contractor, subcontractor, technology supplier, or government-cloud operator.

Data residency and exposure

The retrieved TotalEnergies announcements identify AWS, Azure, Microsoft enterprise AI, and Cognite industrial data services, but do not specify the geographic location of every data store, processing facility, backup, inference endpoint, or subcontractor.^{3, 4, 5, 7}

No public evidence identified establishing that TotalEnergies customer information, employee data, payment records, or industrial datasets are routinely processed in Israeli cloud regions.

Israeli state digital-sovereignty services

No public evidence identified establishing that TotalEnergies provides Israeli state institutions with sovereign-cloud infrastructure, government data-residency services, or military IT resilience services.

Energy supply to data centres

On 9 February 2026, TotalEnergies announced two long-term power purchase agreements for 1 GW of solar capacity to supply Google’s data centres in Texas over 15 years, with electricity generated by the Wichita and Mustang Creek projects.⁸

The same announcement identifies Clearway as a company 50% owned by TotalEnergies and describes separate power agreements supporting Google data centres in US electricity markets.⁸

Act record: TotalEnergies was the energy supplier; Google was the electricity customer; the public communication appeared on corporate.totalenergies.us; the contracts were announced in February 2026 for prospective 15-year delivery, with no Israeli data-centre or Israeli government beneficiary identified in that disclosure.⁸

Defence, Intelligence & Security Sector Technology Relationships

Israeli military and intelligence IT contracts

No public evidence identified establishing a contract under which TotalEnergies SE supplied software, cloud services, surveillance systems, communications infrastructure, or data analytics to the Israel Defense Forces, Israeli Ministry of Defence, or Israeli intelligence agencies.

Industrial technology and Israeli corporate presence

AFSC Investigate identifies Israeli battery company Tadiran Batteries as belonging to TotalEnergies through the latter’s acquisition of Saft, and Total’s original corporate announcement confirms its 2016 proposed acquisition of Saft.^{9, 10}

Act record: Total S.E. was the acquirer; Saft was the acquisition target; Tadiran Batteries is identified by AFSC as an Israeli business within the subsequent ownership structure; public channels include totalenergies.com and investigate.afsc.org; the acquisition dates to 2016, while the latest AFSC description is dated September 2025; a verified subsequent divestment was not identified.^{9, 10}

The reviewed sources establish an Israeli industrial battery business within the TotalEnergies corporate perimeter but do not identify an Israeli military digital contract or a purpose-built targeting-system product supplied by Tadiran.^{9, 10}

Dual-use software and digital platforms

TotalEnergies has documented general-purpose cloud, industrial analytics, and AI activities, including AWS, Azure, Cognite, and Mistral relationships, but the reviewed agreements describe industrial or corporate applications rather than named Israeli defence deployments.^{3, 5, 7, 11}

Offensive cyber capabilities

No public evidence identified establishing TotalEnergies’ development, acquisition, sale, or licensing of offensive cyber tools, exploit platforms, spyware, or zero-day products.

Kinetic targeting systems

No public evidence identified establishing that TotalEnergies develops or supplies software designed primarily for autonomous target generation, fire-control decisions, or kinetic weapons effects.

Separate oil-supply evidence

AFSC Investigate reports that oil produced by TotalEnergies accounted for an estimated 5% of Israel’s crude-oil imports between October 2023 and July 2024; this is an energy-supply allegation and does not itself establish a digital-technology supply relationship.⁹

The November 2025 Don’t Buy into Occupation report includes TotalEnergies among companies examined for oil and other business relationships with Israel, but its company entry does not establish a particular TotalEnergies military IT system.¹²

AI, Algorithmic & Autonomous Systems

Industrial AI and enterprise applications

TotalEnergies’ 2024 Microsoft announcement describes employee-facing generative AI and low-code application-development tools.⁴

Its September 2025 Cognite announcement describes the application of industrial AI to upstream operations, drilling, production, and preparation of industrial datasets.⁷

Mistral AI partnership - June 2025

On 12 June 2025, TotalEnergies announced a collaboration with Mistral AI to create a joint AI innovation laboratory focused on industrial operations, low-carbon energy, assistance for researchers, asset performance, and customer support.¹¹

Mistral’s own published customer description confirms the partnership and identifies industrial performance and emissions reduction as its stated objectives.¹³

Act record: TotalEnergies and Mistral AI were the collaborating entities; their respective research and operational teams were the intended beneficiaries; communications appeared on totalenergies.com and mistral.ai; the earliest dated announcement reviewed is 12 June 2025, with later programme expansion documented in September 2026.^{11, 13, 14}

Mistral AI expansion - September 2026

On 15 September 2026, TotalEnergies announced a three-year programme with Mistral involving more than €100 million to develop frontier AI models for reservoir exploration and engineering, drawing upon TotalEnergies’ historical geoscience information and technical data.¹⁴

Act record: TotalEnergies and Mistral were the announced development partners; TotalEnergies geoscience and reservoir-engineering teams were the intended users; the announcement appeared on totalenergies.com; the prospective programme runs for three years from its September 2026 announcement, and no completed termination was identified.¹⁴

AI computing infrastructure

In June 2026, TotalEnergies announced Pangea 5, a planned supercomputer intended to increase its computing capacity and support AI applications from 2027 onward.¹⁵

Israeli state AI provision

No public evidence identified establishing provision of TotalEnergies AI models or platforms to Israeli defence, intelligence, police, or other state agencies.

Surveillance-derived training data

No public evidence identified establishing that TotalEnergies trains its AI models on intercepted communications, biometric records, or surveillance-derived personal datasets from Israel or the occupied Palestinian territory.

Autonomous targeting

No public evidence identified establishing TotalEnergies’ provision of autonomous target-generation, target-tracking, or lethal decision-support software to Israeli military forces.

Technology Ecosystem & R&D Footprint

Corporate R&D

TotalEnergies identifies OneTech, the Digital Factory, its technology-development programmes, and industrial digitalisation as significant parts of its research and innovation operations.²

Its corporate innovation page describes annual expenditure of approximately $1 billion on research, innovation, and digitalisation since 2021 and approximately 250 patents registered annually.²

Digital Factory

TotalEnergies’ recruitment website identifies the Digital Factory as an organisation created in Paris in 2020 to design digital products for the company’s global operations.¹

TotalEnergies On accelerator

TotalEnergies operates the TotalEnergies On accelerator for digital startups working in electricity and renewables, with opportunities to test solutions in its business operations.¹⁶

Its 2026 selection information describes startups developing digital solutions for renewable electricity, monitoring, forecasting, maintenance, flexibility, electricity retail, and electric mobility.¹⁷

Israeli industrial subsidiary

AFSC identifies Tadiran Batteries as an Israeli company indirectly owned by TotalEnergies through Saft; Total’s 2016 announcement establishes its acquisition transaction involving Saft.^{9, 10}

No public evidence identified in the sources reviewed establishing that Tadiran’s Israeli operations constitute a TotalEnergies cybersecurity, surveillance-software, or military-AI research facility.

Israeli technology acquisitions

The Tadiran ownership chain is the identified Israeli industrial-technology relationship; the retrieved evidence does not establish a separate TotalEnergies acquisition of an Israeli cybersecurity, AI, surveillance, or enterprise-software company.^{9, 10}

Israeli venture investments

No public evidence identified establishing a TotalEnergies equity investment in Wiz, Check Point, CyberArk, Cellebrite, NSO Group, Oosto, SentinelOne, Verint, or the other specified Israeli surveillance and cybersecurity companies.

Academic partnerships and patents

No public evidence identified establishing a significant digital-technology patent-licensing or AI co-development agreement between TotalEnergies and Technion, Hebrew University, Weizmann Institute, or another Israeli research institution.

Ownership thresholds

TotalEnergies’ summer 2026 shareholder information identifies institutional shareholders as approximately 74.0% of its shareholding, employee shareholders as 9.2%, and individual shareholders as 16.9%, based on the company’s December 2025 shareholder-identification exercise.²⁰

The reviewed shareholder-type disclosure does not identify an individual controlling shareholder holding at least 10% of TotalEnergies SE; it does not establish the beneficial ownership of every institutional holding.²⁰

Principals’ private investment vehicles

No public evidence identified establishing personal or family-office investments by the identified directors in NSO Group, Cellebrite, Carbyne, Oosto, Wiz, Check Point, SentinelOne, Verint, or comparable Israeli surveillance and military-technology businesses.

TotalEnergies’ participation in Israel-based NetZero Tech Ventures is independently documented by the Israel Innovation Authority, which listed Total Energies among the venture’s shareholders on 10 January 2024. The fund’s own website identifies TotalEnergies executive Renaud Maillard, Vice-President CO2 Techno Hub, under its “Board Members & Investors” section. These disclosures establish a corporate equity relationship and a named executive-level connection to the Israeli investment vehicle, beyond a general commercial partnership. Neither source specifies TotalEnergies’ ownership percentage, capital commitment, voting rights, or individual investment-approval authority.^{21, 22}

On 13 July 2026, Calcalist reported that NetZero Tech Ventures had appointed Avinoam Rubinstain as Venture Partner to lead its strategic expansion into “Energy Tech for AI.” The expanded investment strategy covers energy generation and storage, thermal management, power electronics, intelligent energy systems, grid optimisation, computing infrastructure, Physical AI, and hardware supporting AI data centres. The article explicitly identified TotalEnergies among NetZero’s existing backers and partners. This establishes that the Israeli venture fund’s AI-infrastructure expansion occurred within an investment vehicle in which TotalEnergies had documented participation; it does not establish that TotalEnergies individually initiated, financed, directed, or approved the July 2026 expansion.^{23, 21, 22}

Calcalist identified Chiral Energies and SolidT as NetZero portfolio companies developing solutions for the Energy for AI market. NetZero’s own investment-strategy disclosure independently identifies Energy for AI, power electronics, and cooling technologies as investment areas and describes its model as combining equity investment, venture creation, and strategic partnerships. These disclosures establish an indirect corporate investment connection between TotalEnergies and an Israeli fund whose portfolio includes the two named AI-infrastructure technology companies. They do not establish direct TotalEnergies equity ownership in Chiral Energies or SolidT, the amount or timing of either portfolio investment, whether TotalEnergies’ capital specifically funded either company, or whether TotalEnergies supplied technical assistance, infrastructure, computing resources, or commercial contracts to either company.^{23, 24, 21}

July–October 2026 - no public evidence identified: the reviewed Calcalist announcement, Israel Innovation Authority shareholder disclosure, and NetZero corporate team and investment-strategy pages did not disclose a separate TotalEnergies investment agreement covering the Energy Tech for AI expansion, a TotalEnergies representative’s participation in the July 2026 investment decision, or a direct TotalEnergies funding, procurement, technology-transfer, or operational relationship with Chiral Energies or SolidT. The demonstrated relationship is corporate participation in the fund, with the extent of involvement in these particular investments remaining unverified.^{21, 22, 23, 24}

TotalEnergies’ official Board of Directors disclosure, reflecting the composition effective 29 May 2026, lists Slawomir Krupa as an independent director appointed on that date for a term ending in 2029. Mark Cutifani is absent from the official 14-member board roster. TotalEnergies’ announcement of the 29 May 2026 shareholders’ meeting independently confirms Krupa’s appointment for a three-year term. These records confirm the existing Digital named-entity statement identifying Slawomir Krupa as a director appointed in 2026. They also establish that Mark Cutifani should be treated as a former director rather than a serving director in any listing purporting to represent the board after 29 May 2026. The existing audit’s omission of Cutifani from its current-director entries is therefore consistent with the official composition. These governance records establish board membership only; they do not establish either individual’s personal investments in Israeli digital, surveillance, cybersecurity, or military-AI companies.^{18, 25}

Civil Society Scrutiny & Regulatory History

AFSC Investigate

AFSC Investigate maintains a TotalEnergies SE profile identifying the company as a significant supplier of crude oil originating from its production to Israel and recording its indirect ownership of Tadiran Batteries.⁹

The AFSC page identifies Patrick Pouyanné as Chairman and CEO and states that the information presented is valid as of 10 September 2025 unless otherwise specified.⁹

The profile concerns fossil-fuel supply and an Israeli industrial subsidiary; it does not present a named TotalEnergies cloud, cybersecurity, or surveillance-technology contract with an Israeli state agency.⁹

Don’t Buy into Occupation - November 2025

The November 2025 Don’t Buy into Occupation report includes TotalEnergies as company 92 and identifies its alleged involvement under categories 4 and 9 of the report’s framework.¹²

The report’s company matrix identifies TotalEnergies as included by AFSC Investigate while recording that it was not included in the UN company database, Who Profits database, or the 2025 Special Rapporteur report referenced in that assessment.¹²

The accompanying company text concerns crude-oil supply and downstream fuel distribution rather than a specifically documented TotalEnergies digital product.¹²

OHCHR settlement database

Business & Human Rights Resource Centre reporting describes the September 2025 OHCHR database update as identifying 158 companies involved in specified settlement-related activities.²⁶

The November 2025 DBIO matrix explicitly records that TotalEnergies was not listed in the updated UN database considered by the report.¹²

No public evidence identified in the retrieved sources establishing TotalEnergies as a listed settlement-specific digital-technology contractor.

Who Profits

The Who Profits database was consulted for relevant corporate and sector entries; the DBIO 2025 company matrix records that TotalEnergies was not listed by Who Profits.^{12, 27}

Boycott and divestment scrutiny

TotalEnergies appears in the November 2025 Don’t Buy into Occupation investigation concerning oil-related business activity and financial relationships, with the report urging financial institutions to examine relationships with the companies it identifies.¹²

No public evidence identified of a named campaign directed specifically at TotalEnergies’ alleged provision of cloud services, biometric surveillance, Israeli military AI, or offensive cyber products.

Technology-specific regulatory action

No public evidence identified establishing a regulatory enforcement action, export-control prosecution, or court judgment concerning TotalEnergies’ supply of digital technology to Israeli military, intelligence, or settlement entities.

Continuity after July and November 2024

AFSC’s September 2025 publication and DBIO’s November 2025 report establish that civil-society scrutiny of TotalEnergies’ Israeli energy-related relationships continued after July and November 2024; these publications do not independently establish a TotalEnergies digital-technology supply act during that period.^{9, 12}

The 2025 Cognite announcement and 2026 Mistral AI expansion establish continuing commercial digital-technology activity after those dates, with the stated beneficiaries being TotalEnergies’ industrial operations rather than named Israeli state institutions.^{7, 14}

Public communications

TotalEnergies’ named Microsoft, AWS, Cognite, and Mistral announcements were published through its corporate website for public and investor-facing audiences; the earliest and latest verified publication dates in the reviewed set are March 2021 and September 2026, respectively, while audience reach and uninterrupted availability throughout that interval were not independently measured.^{3, 5, 7, 14}

Evidence gaps

No public evidence identified establishing the exact data residency of all TotalEnergies cloud workloads, the complete cybersecurity-vendor inventory, the current Tadiran customer list, undisclosed Israeli-state contracts, the full private-investment portfolios of controlling principals, or the current status of every historical technology agreement.
