Neurones is a French management consulting and digital services group listed on Euronext Paris (ticker NRO) with approximately 7,400 employees across 37 service centers in France, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Romania, Tunisia, India, and Singapore. Its customer base includes 75% of CAC 40 groups and major public-sector bodies, served through three business poles: Infrastructure Services (cloud, cybersecurity, user support, ITSM, managed services; ~5,400 staff), Applications Services (digital, UX/UI, Agile, DevOps, data, SAP, BPM/ECM/RPA, IT finance, training; ~1,560 staff), and Consulting (strategy, management, AI, HR transformation, digital marketing; ~270 staff).

The group delivers primarily through multi-year managed services and project-based engagements, with pricing negotiated directly with enterprise and public-sector clients. Infrastructure Services generated €518.1M (62% of 2025 revenue), Applications Services €290.1M (32%), and Consulting €49M (6%), with FY2025 revenues exceeding the €850M target and 5.1% organic growth. Neurones also develops proprietary software (ARender, Flower, Fast2) and integrates third-party stacks from Microsoft, SAP, Oracle, Salesforce, Adobe, ServiceNow, AWS, VMware, Tibco, UiPath, Kofax, and others. Distribution is direct enterprise sales with dedicated account managers and a central key-account team.

Neurones' technology stack centers on multi-LLM AI platforms (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Mistral, Qwen) running on SecNumCloud-certified sovereign cloud with GPU acceleration, augmented by MCP servers, A2A agent orchestration, and RAG architectures. The group operates 300+ AI agents in production across its service centers, and AI consulting represents more than 10% of Consulting revenue. Differentiated regulatory credentials include ANSSI SecNumCloud, PASSI, PRIS (held by only four French providers), and PACS qualifications, plus ISO 9001, ISO 27001, and Hébergeur de Données de Santé certifications, which collectively create barriers for competitors serving regulated French workloads.
