French term or phrase: articulation
Article about renewable energy

Pensons également aux transformations qui vont résulter de l’intégration systématique d’une nouvelle intelligence dans l’articulation des différents composants de multiples chaînes de valeur (digitalisation, blockchain, intelligence artificielle etc.).

Explanation:
I think this expression sounds more natural as a noun in French, but as a verb in English. To me, "articulation" here suggests a noun form of "articuler" rather than its typical definitions of "joint" or "hinge." I'd suggest that something like "...in linking the various components..." would work.
