The ecosystem
How a group builds companies.
An opportunity does not become a company by chance. It travels a chain: a startup studio holding the domain knowledge, platforms supplying capital and functions, cities providing an operating base. Here is that chain, then the full tree of the group.

Startup studios
Five startup studios, five ways to build companies.
Each startup studio holds the domain knowledge of its field: methods, regulation, markets, partners and lessons learned. A venture belongs to the startup studio whose expertise genuinely shapes its architecture.

Six platforms serving the group's companies.
A company on its own has to rebuild everything. Inside the ecosystem, capital, innovation, artificial intelligence, back-office functions and intellectual property are already in place.
Funding and growth
Ctrl+Alt+Growth
The platform bringing together the group's funding capabilities: fundraising, grants, minority investment and business turnaround.
Talent and human resources
Katalyst Hub
Talent acquisition and human resource management. The platform gives companies shared access to senior profiles and supports practices attentive to diversity, inclusion and sustainability.
Artificial intelligence
Quixx.ai
An AI research and development hub and a platform of business solutions: process automation, predictive analysis, natural language processing, personalisation. It also provides data analysis tools, virtual assistants and internet of things solutions.
Brands and intellectual property
Ctrl+Alt+IP
Management, exploitation and valuation of the group's brands: licensing, partnerships, collaborations and derivative products. The platform negotiates rights, keeps brand identities coherent and looks for growth without eroding what makes each brand.
Communication and brand strategy
Kreativ'Kom
The group's consulting agency. It supports companies on communication and brand strategy, designs their materials, and helps startups set up their tools and grow their visibility, online and offline. Present in France, the United Kingdom and Lebanon.
Innovation and open innovation
Ctrl+Alt+Innovate
The platform connecting the group to global sources of innovation: startups, universities, laboratories, industry and institutional partners. It scouts emerging technologies, runs experiments and turns selected innovations into opportunities for the startup studios.
The architecture, branch by branch
One hundred and thirty companies, one architecture.
A portfolio is not a group. The difference lies in what the companies share: the domain knowledge of a startup studio, the pooled capital and functions of a platform, the operating base of a city, and the synergies they build between themselves, from a shared client to a reused technology.
