What Ponts Etudes Projets, Junior-Entreprise does

Ponts Études Projets (PEP) is the Junior-Entreprise of École Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées (ENPC), a French grande école of engineering. Founded in 1979 and operated as a non-profit association under French law (Association loi 1901), the organization mobilizes ENPC students to deliver consulting services to external clients. It is headquartered on the ENPC campus in Champs-sur-Marne, France, and operates with a 28-person organizational team drawing from a pool of roughly 2,000 mobilizable students.

The organization's service portfolio spans six horizontal domains: Ville/Environnement/Transport (carbon footprint assessment, transport policy, urban planning); Informatique et Data Science (software development, computer vision, machine learning); Stratégie, Finance et Économie (consulting and economic analysis); Génie Civil et Mécanique (structural design and engineering studies); Génie Industriel et Marketing (supply chain and innovation consulting); and Traduction Technique (multilingual technical translation across 15+ languages, enabled by a 40% international student body). Underlying technical capabilities are derived from the ENPC curriculum, including artificial vision, machine learning, and engineering simulation; no proprietary technology stack is publicly disclosed. Pricing is negotiated on a per-project basis via a quote request process, with no public rate card.

PEP operates a sales-led GTM motion driven by direct outreach, alumni network referrals, and an events program (including PEP Week). Clients include large French enterprises (SNCF, Alstom, Suez, HSBC, BNP Paribas Cardif, Carrefour, Safran, Sony, Axa, Bureau Veritas, Sopra Steria), public-sector bodies (DRIEA, AFD), and a strategic partnership with Bain & Company. Reported annual turnover is approximately 100k EUR. The organization is ranked in the L30 (top 30 Junior-Entreprises in France by CNJE) for 2023 and 2024, marking its return to the ranking after a 12-year absence.
