Atraksis

What Atraksis does

Atraksis is a French non-profit association (Association loi 1901, SIREN 841356090) founded in 2017 by firefighter officers including president Thibaut Reffay and co-founder Julien Fischer. Headquartered in Paris, the organization functions as a dedicated innovation hub for French fire and rescue services, operating under the mission of co-building the emergency services of tomorrow by connecting firefighters with technology companies, startups, and public institutions.

Its core offering is Lab. Secours, a structured program designed to accelerate innovation, facilitate experimentation, support projects, valorize initiatives, connect expertise, and share experiences within the emergency services ecosystem. Sub-products and project lines include E-SDIS Santé (an AI-powered health monitoring platform for emergency personnel, built with Anamnèse and deployed across three SDIS covering roughly 12,000 firefighters), MultiFireScan (an aerial multi-spectral imaging and fire-propagation prediction system with Aria Firefighting), SAM (an AI medical assistant for paramedics), and automated drone pilots with UAVIA at SDMIS. Beyond product incubation, Atraksis runs recurring programs including the annual Journée Tech & Secours conference, the monthly Speak'up Atraksis webinar series, the Prix de l'Innovation des Sapeurs-Pompiers de France (co-organized with FNSPF), AI training cycles (Cycl'IASEC, Cycle IA pour les SDIS) with DMIA and DGSCGC, a satellite-technology curriculum (Cycle Spatial & Secours) with Connect by CNES, and the Innov'up Expérimentation Tech et Secours call for projects co-funded by Région Île-de-France and Bpifrance.

The business model is that of a membership-based association. Revenue derives from membership contributions paid by SDIS, companies, and institutional partners; specific programs are co-financed by public partners (Région Île-de-France, Bpifrance, FNSPF, DMIA, DGSCGC). The organization has approximately five employees supplemented by a bureau and a network of ambassadors drawn from SDIS officers, and reports an ecosystem of more than 50 corporate and institutional partners alongside 12+ departmental fire services.

Core offering

Atraksis is a French non-profit association that operates Lab Secours, a dedicated innovation structure connecting French fire and rescue services (SDIS) with technology companies, startups, and public institutions to co-develop and experiment with new technologies for emergency response. Through programs such as Innov'up Tech et Secours, the Cycl'IASEC AI training cycle, the annual Journée Tech & Secours event, and the Speak'up webinar series, it accelerates technology adoption and digitalization of emergency services.

Product overview

Atraksis operates as an innovation hub and ecosystem accelerator for emergency services, not a traditional product company. The core offering is Lab Secours, a dedicated structure that fosters technological and managerial innovation for fire and rescue services. The organization coordinates multiple innovation projects (Innov'up Tech et Secours), organizes annual events (Journée Tech & Secours, Prix de l'Innovation), and runs educational programs (Speak'up series, Cycl'IASEC). Key technology projects include E-SDIS Santé for health monitoring, MultiFireScan for wildfire prediction, SAM for AI-assisted medical decision support, and automated drone systems. These are primarily demonstration/prototyping projects with partner companies rather than commercially sold products.

Broad incumbents

• EENA (European Emergency Number Association): European non-profit organization dedicated to improving emergency response (notably 112 services) across Europe. Comparable to Atraksis as a higher-level European emergency services association, though broader in geographic scope and centered on emergency calling rather than technology acceleration.
• APCO International: Global association of public safety communications officials. Comparable as a long-established international membership organization serving the emergency-services community, though much larger and focused on communications standards rather than technology innovation.
• Fédération Nationale des Sapeurs-Pompiers de France (FNSPF): National federation representing French firefighters. Comparable as the principal institutional counterpart in the French fire ecosystem and a strategic co-organizer (Prix de l'Innovation) of Atraksis, though much larger and operating as the sectoral representative body.
• BAPCO (British APCO): UK association for public safety communications professionals and emergency-services technology. Comparable as a country-level membership organization serving emergency-services users and technology suppliers, though UK-focused and without Atraksis's structured technology acceleration program.
