Kepler partners with French technology company Inekto
French consulting firm Kepler has expanded its partnership with Inekto, a technology company specialised artificial intelligence, cyber and digital solutions.
Lionel Muller, President of Kepler, said the alliance comes in response to growing client demand for innovative technology solutions, underpinning Kepler’s traditional management consulting portfolio.
Founded in 2007, Paris-headquartered Kepler has a team of around 90 staff across four offices worldwide. The firm’s consultants specialise in supply chain, procurement, operations, innovation, marketing & sales, and human capital.
Muller said that digital, data and artificial intelligence are important topics that cut across all of the firm’s offerings. Working with Inekto, Kepler will be able to inject deep digital knowhow into its capabilities and services to clients.
“This partnership will help us explore digital and AI opportunities, and realize tailored business solutions for additional and tangible business outcomes,” he said.
Inekto brings an established track record to the table. During the Covid-19 pandemic the then start-up (founded in 2019) helped the healthcare sector track the availability of ICU beds, and more recently amid geopolitical concerns, Inekto helped the French Ministry of the Armed Forces detect suspicious boat trajectories.
A number of Inekto’s projects have been conducted with Kepler. “We have jointly worked on several successful projects and are now solidifying our collaboration through this partnership,” Muller stated.
Lucas Delcros, co-founder of Inekto, commented: “Our clients seek partners who not only understand their industry and their business but are also capable of demonstrating the impact of AI on their activities. With Kepler, we have this assurance.”
Outside of France, Kepler has offices in Chicago (US), Chennai (India) and Shanghai (China).
