Partnerships

Eight partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.

• AdiwattcoreTechnology or Integration · 1 January 2018Adiwatt, the French market leader in photovoltaic panel fixation systems, partnered with Le Prieuré to develop the OASIS Biosolar solution — the first Hydro Bio-Solar roof combining green vegetation with solar panels. Adiwatt provides specialized mounting systems for integrating photovoltaic panels into the green roof structure, while Le Prieuré provides the vegetation and Oasis stormwater management system. The solution was installed at the Paris 2024 Athletes' Village.
• INSA de Lyon — Laboratoire DEEPcoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerLe Prieuré collaborated with the DEEP laboratory at INSA de Lyon to characterize the hydraulic properties of the Oasis stormwater management system using the lysimetric testing platform. This scientific partnership validated the water retention and flow performance of the Oasis system.
• Université de Louvain (KU Leuven)coreStrategic or Co-development PartnerAn experimental Oasis site was established on the roof of the Beweging building in Antwerp in partnership with the University of Louvain (KU Leuven), providing real-world performance data and academic validation of green roof stormwater management in partnership conditions.
• IUT de Blois — Laboratoire d'Essais MécaniquesminorStrategic or Co-development PartnerWind resistance testing for the OASIS Biosolar system was conducted at the mechanical testing laboratory of the IUT de Blois, validating the structural performance of the green roof solution under wind load conditions.
• German Universities (Academic Partnership)minorStrategic or Co-development PartnerLe Prieuré developed its pioneering substrate production capability for green roofs in the 1990s through partnerships with German universities, leveraging German expertise in substrate science and green roof engineering.

• Xero Flor North America: US-based producer of pre-vegetated green roof mats and systems. Direct competitor in the North American market where Le Prieuré has operated a subsidiary since 2010.
• Sempergreen: European supplier of pre-cultivated sedum mats, cassettes, and vertical greening systems. Comparable in offering pre-cultivated green roof products and modular solutions to specifiers and contractors.
• Optigreen: One of Europe's largest green roof system providers, offering extensive, intensive, and stormwater management solutions. Direct competitor to Le Prieuré's HYDROPACK and OASIS product lines across European markets.

Emerging players

• Vegetal i.D. (Topager): French specialist in productive rooftop gardens and urban agriculture, partnering with Le Prieuré on the Opéra Bastille vegetable garden project. Smaller and more focused on edible/urban farming rather than full green roof systems.

Broad incumbents

• Soprema: Major European waterproofing and roofing manufacturer with a green roof division. Operates across the full building envelope value chain and overlaps with Le Prieuré's waterproofing-integrated green roof offerings.

Regional players

• Wholesale Green Roof Supply (Xero Flor) Distributors: US-based green roof design and consulting firm with regional focus, comparable to Le Prieuré's engineering bureau services in the North American market.

Others

• Adiwatt: French market leader in photovoltaic mounting systems, partnered with Le Prieuré to develop the OASIS Biosolar solution. Adjacent ecosystem participant enabling the hydro bio-solar convergence rather than a direct competitor.
