CIVITEK

What CIVITEK does

CIVITEK (Société CIVITEK) is a privately held French engineering and technical assistance firm founded in 2019 and headquartered in Valence, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, with a stated share capital of €22,500. The company is led by co-founders Jean-Jacques Larribau (INSA engineer with 37 years of functional safety experience) and Aurélien Thomas (Executive MBA Hult London and Cambridge, specialized in transition management). CIVITEK operates a professional services model built around four business lines: Assistance technique (deploying engineers and technicians to client sites as in-situ resources or as dedicated multidisciplinary "plateau" teams), Ingénierie (development, deployment, and maintenance engineering), Sûreté de fonctionnement / FMDS-RAMS (functional safety and reliability analyses including FMECA/FMES, MTTF/MTBF, availability and maintainability studies), and Management de transition (interim executive placement for transformation, crisis, and replacement situations).

The company's underlying technology is centered on classical reliability and safety engineering methods (FMDS/RAMS — Fiabilité, Maintenabilité, Disponibilité, Sécurité — equivalent to RAMS), supplemented by a proprietary strategic decision-making method called M.I.D.A.S. (Méthode Itérative D'Aide à la décision Stratégique) developed by the founders. CIVITEK delivers a QUALIOPI-certified training catalogue covering functional safety, reliability, and the M.I.D.A.S. method, with forthcoming modules in embedded software cybersecurity, SME cybersecurity, and ENECON-certified composite maintenance.

CIVITEK serves enterprise clients across at least eight verticals: Industry, Energy (including nuclear), Marine, Transport, IT/Computing, Telecommunications, Petrochemistry, and Defense/Security. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, with services delivered in France and internationally per client needs. Revenue is generated through professional services billing (staffing day-rates and engineering studies), plus training fees. The firm joined the Aerospace Cluster Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes in May 2025 as a strategic positioning move in the Aeronautics-Space-Defense ecosystem. No external funding has been raised and revenue is not publicly disclosed.
