Founded in 1990 in Lyon by an entrepreneur and developed by its employees for over 35 years, ABGi has established itself as a forerunner and key player in innovation funding and management consulting, both in France and internationally. Today, ABGi is embarking on a strategic shift, ushering in a new era backed by extensive experience, over 600 employees worldwide, and more than 15,000 completed projects. As a subsidiary of Visiativ since 2018, ABGi has accelerated its transformation and diversification. In 2024, Absiskey and ABGi merged under a single identity, ABGi France, creating a consolidated entity with unique positioning and enhanced customer experience. This strategic evolution is part of the SHIFT5 plan to 2028, through which Visiativ aims to further enhance its position as a preferred and trusted partner for businesses. ABGi is committed to delivering pragmatic, high-performing, and tailored solutions to help clients design, finance, and execute their strategic transformations. We manage nearly €2 billion in funding across eight countries each year, supporting a wide range of clients from start-ups to large corporations. Founded by entrepreneurs and developed by its employees, ABGi is a singular intrapreneurial and human adventure where everyone devotes themselves every day to developing tailor-made solutions to support the structuring and funding of our clients' innovation.

We are committed entrepreneurs dedicated to your performance. Innovation is at the heart of our consulting vision and management practices, driving engagement and creating value for the entire ABGi ecosystem. Our team of 280 employees in France and 600 worldwide brings together technical, financial, and tax experts who leverage a proven methodology enriched by over three decades of benchmarking insights from industry leaders. We currently support 15% of the French R&D tax credit (CIR-CII) claims for leading companies in their sectors, a testament to our deep expertise in funding mechanisms and best practices. Our governance model is pragmatic, providing direct access to the firm's managers and directors, fostering close connections with all employees.

ABGi positions itself as a strategic partner, supporting clients in designing, financing, and executing their transformations across four essential strategic challenges: Innovation—stimulating creativity and accelerating the development of differentiating solutions; Operations—optimizing the value chain and strengthening the sovereignty of strategic sectors; Technology—harnessing the full potential of emerging advancements (AI, cybersecurity, cloud, data); and ESG—ensuring responsible growth and addressing major societal and environmental challenges. Together, we give your projects a new dimension and shape the future with ambition and confidence.

Our mission is to be your innovation and development accelerator, anywhere in the world. For over 35 years, we have been developing a unique combination of scientific, financial and tax expertise to help your projects succeed, in terms of both management and funding of innovation. We help businesses unlock the full potential of tax incentives and funding opportunities, maximizing the funding rate of their R&D&I by activating indirect mechanisms (CIR, CII, JEI) and direct funding (grants and public subsidies), in France and internationally.

Our six core values define who we are and guide our actions every day: Audace (Boldness)—daring to innovate and challenge the status quo; Engagement (Commitment)—dedicating ourselves fully to our clients' success; Exemplarité (Leadership)—being inspiring role models by embodying integrity, ethics and leadership; Durable (Sustainability)—building long-term relationships and sustainable solutions; Excellence—pursuing the highest standards in everything we do; and Innovation—continuously seeking new ways to create value. These values are not just words; they are lived daily by our teams and shape our unique culture.
