AMJE

What AMJE does

AMJE (Arts et Métiers Junior Etude), branded as "La Junior de l'Industrie," is a French non-profit student-run engineering consulting firm (junior enterprise) affiliated with Arts et Métiers Paris engineering school, headquartered at 151 Boulevard de l'Hôpital in the 13th arrondissement of Paris. Founded in 2000 and relaunched in 2019 after a period of inactivity, the organization connects industrial clients with Arts et Métiers engineering students to deliver project-based consulting studies. AMJE claims access to a pool of 3,500 Arts et Métiers students, from which it selects the most qualified candidates for each engagement. Its service portfolio spans six core categories: mechanical conception, connected objects (IoT) design, environmental impact reduction, industrial optimization, project creation support, and Industry 4.0 transition consulting, supported by five technical expert domains covering mechanics, industrial engineering, IT, audit and consulting, materials and environment, and electronics and automation. Core technical components are CAD/CAE tooling (notably CATIA via a Dassault Systèmes partnership for reverse engineering with SNCF Réseau) and student-delivered prototyping under Chargé d'Affaires supervision.

The business model is professional services on a project-fee basis: clients request free quotes via the AMJE website, receive a first response within 24 hours and a full scope document within 48 hours, and are matched with a student consultant selected from the Arts et Métiers talent pool. Pricing is negotiated per engagement with no public rate card. The go-to-market is sales-led, combining direct enterprise outreach, the website quote funnel, Gadzarts (Arts et Métiers) alumni referrals, and participation in CNJE congresses. The customer base is dominated by large French industrial and engineering enterprises, with named reference clients including General Electric, Renault, Thales, ENGIE, EDF, SNCF Réseau, VINCI Facilities, Adriver, Setec Its / Île-de-France Mobilités, Transitions DD, and a dyslexia-screen startup, spanning automotive, defense and aerospace, energy, railway, advertising, transportation, and sustainable development verticals.

AMJE holds institutional backing from Arts et Métiers school, the CNJE federation (rejoined 2019), and Dassault Systèmes (CATIA software access since 2020). It was awarded "Meilleure Junior-Entreprise de France 2024" by the junior enterprise confederation, plus awards for best positive-impact project and best engineering study. Operational scale is modest: a 15-person elected student mandate team for 2019–2020, with the broader organization reported as 11–50 employees, and operations concentrated in the Île-de-France region with no disclosed international footprint. AMJE is structured as an Association loi 1901 with no venture, private equity, or institutional ownership, and is therefore not an investable entity in any conventional PE/VC sense.
