What ENSAE Junior Études does

ENSAE Junior Études is a student-run consulting firm (junior enterprise) affiliated with ENSAE Paris, the French graduate school specializing in statistics, econometrics, and actuarial science. Founded in 1979 and headquartered at 5 Avenue Le Chatelier, Palaiseau, France, the organization operates as an association under French law 1901 and is annually audited by the Confédération Nationale des Junior-Entreprises (CNJE). It delivers project-based consulting services across six core areas: data analysis and statistical modeling, machine learning and AI, econometrics and market finance, optimization and operations research, surveys and market research, and training and support.

The firm's engagements are executed by ENSAE Paris student consultants, supported by training partnerships with BNP Paribas, EY, Veltys, and Sia Partners, and by a core data-security partnership with CASD (Centre d'Accès Sécurisé aux Données) for handling of sensitive client information. Service delivery uses standard quantitative tooling — Python, R, SPSS, Stata, PowerBI, Dash, Plotly, Tableau — and the firm maintains GDPR compliance through an annual administrator charter and mission-bound data deletion. A mutual cross-junior-enterprise alliance with Sciences Po Paris extends offering capability into qualitative analysis.

Commercially, ENSAE Junior Études generates revenue through custom, project-based engagements with quote-based pricing, reporting €122k in annual revenue and a 95% client satisfaction rate. It serves a horizontal mix of start-ups, SMEs, large enterprises, and non-profit organizations, with one named financial-services client testimonial referencing actuarial and risk-management work. Distribution is direct via a website contact form segmented by service category, with marketing conducted primarily through organic social channels, professional forums, and alumni word-of-mouth.
