Participating in Collaborative Projects with High Potential Impact

We contribute to numerous national and international collaborative projects, providing our expertise in Engineering and the ability to build specific project teams by integrating the necessary talents, both for ongoing projects and the future development of ixsane.

We invest in innovation to accelerate the circular economy, enhance territorial resilience in the face of climate challenges, address energy issues, and manage or reduce contamination in natural environments.

An Innovative Collaboration Approach: Research and Development (R&D) Partnership

In addition to the engineering services offered by the Engineering Department, we propose short, medium, or long-term collaborations on innovative topics involving expert collaboration with scientific experts and public or private research institutions, both within France and internationally.

Leveraging our scientific teams and a network of national and European partners, we tailor partnerships to realize projects aimed at developing new products, services, or technologies to meet the future challenges of our clients and society.

Supporting Business Innovation Strategies

Integrating environmental challenges into business strategies generates significant new needs.

To accelerate our clients' innovation, we mobilize our teams of Doctors, Engineers, and necessary scientific partners to carry out and coordinate tailored R&D services to address their challenges:

• Scientific literature study
• Statistical analysis of existing data and AI solutions
• Technical, economic, and societal feasibility studies
• Design of pilot units for operational testing
• Laboratory demonstrations at full scale (1/1 scale)
