Direct peers

• CAUE de la Savoie: Conseil d'Architecture, d'Urbanisme et de l'Environnement of Savoie — a departmental agency offering advisory on urban planning, architecture and environment to local authorities in the same geography Agate serves. Overlaps directly with Agate's Aménagement and Transitions et stratégie poles.
• Agence Technique Départementale de l'Isère (ATD Isère): Departmental engineering agency providing technical and regulatory advisory to Isère communes and EPCIs. Same model as Agate but for the neighboring Isère department — directly comparable membership/engineering-services structure for local authorities.
• EPURES – Agence d'urbanisme de la région stéphanoise: Public urban-planning agency delivering studies, planning support and territorial strategy for local authorities in the Saint-Étienne metropolitan area. Comparable in offering territorial planning, prospective analysis and strategy advisory services to member municipalities.
• Agence d'urbanisme de l'aire métropolitaine lyonnaise: Urban-planning agency serving Greater Lyon and surrounding local authorities with strategic planning, observation and territorial studies. Directly comparable to Agate's Aménagement and strategic planning offerings, albeit at a larger metropolitan scale.

Broad incumbents

• Berger-Levrault: Major software and services vendor for local authorities (accounting, payroll, civil status, etc.) and Agate's core technology partner. While primarily a vendor rather than peer, Berger-Levrault increasingly bundles advisory and managed services that overlap with Agate's Service Logiciels métiers offering for 500+ municipalities.
• Sopra Steria: Large European IT services and consulting firm with a substantial public-sector practice serving French ministries and local authorities. Competes for digital transformation, dematerialization and managed-services mandates that overlap with Agate's Numérique et Données pole.
• ANCT – Agence Nationale de la Cohésion des Territoires: National agency supporting local authorities with engineering, digital and territorial development programs. Comparable in mission and target clients, but operating at national scale rather than as a member-owned departmental agency.
• CNFPT – Centre National de la Fonction Publique Territoriale: National public-sector training body for territorial civil servants and elected officials. Agate's Qualiopi-certified training offering to local élus competes for the same training budget pool across France.
• Docaposte (La Poste Group): Digital services subsidiary of La Poste providing dematerialization, e-signature, cybersecurity and data hosting for French local authorities. Overlaps with Agate's procurement platform, cybersecurity and digital-inclusion offerings.

Regional players

• Association des Maires de Savoie: Departmental association representing elected officials in Savoie. Operates as a membership organization for the same mayoral base that Agate serves, with overlapping missions around training, information and representation of local interests in Savoie.
