About Us

Explorers of the Uncharted

Since 1993, we've been doing something different: helping private and public decision-makers explore and develop the territories they haven't yet mapped — new technologies, new offers, new geographies, possible futures, and new ways to innovate. We're not just consultants. We're explorers. With 220 passionate, multicultural professionals spread across 8 offices in the USA, Europe, and Singapore — most of us holding dual backgrounds in science/technology and business — we bring genuine curiosity and rigorous investigation to every mission we take on.

Who we are

220 Explorers. One Mission.

We are a team of highly-qualified, multicultural individuals who believe that the best answers come from genuine curiosity and deep investigation. More than a third of our team has an international background, and together we master over 20 languages. We work across 8 offices in 6 countries — France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Singapore, and the USA — building recommendations at the crossroads of science, technology, and business. Our clients describe us as an expert intermediary that challenges their thinking and brings clarity to complex decisions.

Our Values

The Explorer's Code

We favour face-to-face meetings and go beyond classic deliverables — creating videos, data visualization tools, collaborative platforms, and interactive animations such as escape games, quizzes, and role-playing workshops. We favour innovative formats because we believe the best insights come from genuine human connection and creative thinking. We never copy-paste methodologies. We always start from the client's context. And we never give up.

What we do

Navigating Innovation for Decision-Makers

We support industrial leaders, start-ups, SMEs, private equity players, and public institutions in defining R&D and innovation strategies, studying target markets, identifying new opportunities, investigating emerging technologies, defining commercial and marketing strategies, integrating CSR and data science into their practices, and imagining the futures of their activities. We operate without pre-established methodologies — every mission starts from the client's specific context and questions. Our exploration covers four key territories: new technologies, market innovation, high-growth geographies, and strategic foresight.

Our Purpose

Designing Tomorrow's World

Our purpose is to help both private and public decision-makers explore and develop their uncharted territories. We dream of building a team of 1,000 explorers — working hand in hand with our clients to design tomorrow's world.

Why working with us

Why Clients Come Back to Alcimed

We bring a rare combination of scientific depth and business acumen, paired with a genuinely multicultural perspective across more than 20 languages. Our investigative approach — going beyond literature to directly engage key stakeholders, experts, opinion leaders, patients, and end-customers — enables us to build clear, well-grounded recommendations. We're not just a sounding board; we challenge our clients' thinking, co-build solutions with their internal teams, and stay committed until the mission succeeds. Clients from Boehringer Ingelheim, Nestlé Health Science, and Sanofi trust us to be their strategic, marketing, and operational ally.

Sustainability

Sustainability as a Strategic Territory

We support industrial leaders, SMEs, start-ups, and institutions in their sustainable development projects. Our sustainability consulting covers the definition of CSR strategies, circular economy approaches, materiality matrices, eco-design, alternative raw materials, biomaterials, waste valorization, recyclability, green industrialization, and eco-friendly packaging. We help clients align their sustainability commitments with UN Sustainable Development Goals and build credible, ambitious, and well-communicated ESG strategies.
