EPROM SAS

What EPROM SAS does

EPROM SAS is a privately held French company headquartered in Poissy (Yvelines) that operates as a business development and collaborative innovation project coordinator for the French electronic technology ecosystem. The firm was founded by Michel Ramez, a former multinational vice-president with decades of experience across aerospace, defence, telecommunications, medical, industrial, and mobility sectors, and co-founded with Edith Ramez. EPROM serves SMEs, startups, and university laboratories in seven strategic verticals — Security & Defence, Aeronautics & Space, Automotive & Mobility, Industry 4.0, Medical, Telecommunications, and Electronics — by organizing French and European consortiums, responding to calls for projects (notably from the Agence de l'Innovation de Défense and the PFA Plateforme Automobile), and managing the full project lifecycle from needs definition and funding research through to market placement of products, patents, and licenses.

The company's underlying technology base spans electronic interconnection systems, power electronics, and microwave/hyperfrequency (EHF) components, with the TICIO platform representing its flagship proprietary asset — a universal ERP-EDI message translator supporting multiple communication protocols (https, smtp, ftps, web services, API, AS2) and EDI standards (Edifact, Edifice, Gallia, Odette, UN-Cefact, UBL, Idoc, SSAP, PDF(A), CSV), and winner of the DGE 'Ticpm@ 2010' programme. EPROM has co-developed tangible products including the VENT01 ventilator/respirator with Indian partner Hi-reltech Pvt Ltd during COVID-19, and participates in EHF-domain projects Norogow+ and Hyperlink. Two collaborative patent applications are currently in progress.

Revenue is generated through three primary streams: collaborative R&D project funding (European, national, and proprietary), business development and project management services for industrial and academic clients, and consortium organization and coordination. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and the firm operates exclusively through direct enterprise engagement with strategic sectors in France and selectively internationally. The company maintains 24 employees and reports no disclosed revenue, funding rounds, or institutional investors.

Direct peers

• Assystem: French independent engineering and innovation consultancy with deep defence, energy and aerospace exposure. Comparable to EPROM because it also organises cross-party R&D projects and consortiums around strategic industrial programmes in France, but operates at much larger scale.
• Serma Group: French electronic and embedded systems specialist offering R&D, testing and certification services to defence, aerospace, medical and telecoms clients. Comparable to EPROM as a French SME-focused electronics engineering and project-coordination firm.
• AKKA Technologies: European engineering and technology consulting group with strong aerospace, automotive and defence practices. Comparable to EPROM in providing cross-sector engineering and innovation support to large French industrial groups.

Comparable to EPROM in its electronic-components and embedded-systems engineering focus and French strategic-sector positioning.

Others

• Systematic Paris-Region: French competitiveness cluster (pôle de compétitivité) coordinating collaborative R&D projects in digital, deep-tech and electronics between large groups, SMEs and academia. Comparable to EPROM because it operates a similar consortium-coordination model within the French innovation ecosystem.
• CEA (Commissariat à l'énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives): Major French public research organisation with deep electronics, microelectronics, defence and aerospace programmes that partners with SMEs and large groups. Comparable to EPROM as an ecosystem participant that the firm routinely brings into consortia for electronics and EHF innovation projects.
