What Beam, Longest and Neff, LLC does

Egis is a global architecture, consulting, construction engineering, and operating firm headquartered in Guyancourt, France, with 23,500 employees operating across 70+ countries. The firm provides end-to-end infrastructure services across the full project lifecycle — from upstream studies and design through engineering, project management, operations, and maintenance — serving transport (urban transit, rail, aviation, road, maritime), cities, buildings, energy, water, environment, defence, and sports sectors. Its technology stack includes BIM, Digital Twin, AI-enhanced design tools, eco-design software, and large language modelling solutions, delivered through internal platforms such as the Innovation Hub (used by 3,000+ employees) and The Lab incubator, which has produced eight high-impact solutions including CenosIA, Eva Climat, and Landboost.

Egis generates revenue through two main streams: Architecture, Engineering & Consulting (84% of activities) and Operations & Mobility Services (16%, including 31 road operating companies in 25+ countries and 18 airports across 4 continents). The firm reported revenue approaching €2.4 billion with order intake exceeding €3 billion, and operates on a project-based, long-term partnership GTM model selling directly to government agencies, infrastructure investors, and large private clients. Its customer base is concentrated in public-sector transport authorities — including Société du Grand Paris, Arriyadh Development Authority, Transport for London, and SNCF Réseau — supported by an aggressive M&A programme that has added more than 25 firms in recent years to expand its North American, Australian, and digital service capabilities.

The firm is privately held by three institutional shareholders: Tikehau Capital (40% via T2 Energy Transition fund), Caisse des Dépôts (34%), and partner managers and employees (26% through Egis Partenaires and a Corporate Mutual Fund). Under CEO Laurent Germain, Egis has set a strategic vision to reach €4 billion revenue by 2029 and become a top-10 global engineering firm, with a near-term focus on North American expansion (anchored by the 2025 Lochner acquisition) and tripling Australia/New Zealand revenue. The firm is ISO 37001-certified globally for anti-corruption and a UN Global Compact member since 2011.
