Strategy and AI Consulting in Lyon

The local economy

Lyon and its metropolitan area form one of the main economic centres in France, with a dense and varied industrial base. To the south, the chemicals corridor along the Rhône brings together production sites, specialty chemicals and processing activities, now facing the energy transition, process decarbonisation and pressure on margins. Health holds a comparable place: research, biotechnology, vaccines, medical devices and hospitals share a single ecosystem.

Lyon's position on the Rhône-Saône axis, between northern Europe and the Mediterranean, also makes it a major logistics hub, with road, rail, river and air connections. For leaders in these sectors the questions are similar: how to prioritise investment, structure the organisation, make data reliable, and decide where AI delivers real value and where better coordination is enough.

The regulatory context

Companies in Lyon operate within the French and European framework. Chemical sites fall notably under the Seveso Directive and REACH, health organisations under ANSM requirements and the rules governing health data hosting, and all organisations under the GDPR and the European AI Act, which applies in phases. Sustainability reporting and cybersecurity obligations are also reaching a growing number of companies. We build these constraints into the strategy from the start, not afterwards, so that the decisions taken can actually be implemented.

How we work here

We work in Lyon and across the surrounding region, on site when the subject calls for it (leadership workshops, site visits, deployment with your teams) and remotely for the rest. Missions run in French and English. For each mission we compose a senior team: a dedicated contact, our core team (strategy, finance, operations, data, AI) and sector experts from our network, selected by expertise profile. We work with your existing tools, we sell no software, and we stay involved after the decision to deploy and steer the results.
