What Absiskey does

ABGi (also referenced as Absiskey) is a France-headquartered professional consulting firm founded in 1990, organized around four practice areas: Innovation management and financing, Operations performance, Technology transformation, and ESG advisory. The company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the diversified industrial group Groupe SNEF, and serves enterprise clients across more than 17 verticals including aerospace, energy, healthcare, manufacturing, defense, and the public sector. ABGi reports over 700 expert consultants, approximately €100 million in annual revenue, 30 office locations, and 18,000+ completed missions over a 35-year history.

The firm's core offerings include R&D tax credit (CIR/CII) consulting, IP valuation, public funding sourcing, operational procurement and supply chain optimization, ERP selection, cybersecurity, and sustainability/ESG reporting. Its only disclosed proprietary technology is CIR360, a digital workflow platform purpose-built to manage CIR (Crédit d'Impôt Recherche) and CII (Crédit d'Impôt Innovation) processes for clients. Beyond CIR360, the offering is primarily expert-led consulting rather than software.

ABGi generates revenue through project-based consulting engagements billed to enterprise clients, with pricing not publicly disclosed and structured around engagement scope and expertise level. Distribution is direct via field consultants across 30 offices, supported by content marketing, events, and an active digital presence. The firm holds ISO 9001, OPQCM, EAIC, and R&D Pilot certifications, and is referenced by the French Government as an authorized CIR/CII consultant. In July 2026, ABGi expanded into Spain through the acquisition of INCOTEC, marking its first disclosed cross-border M&A move.
