Assystem in France

In France, Assystem supports projects that contribute to the energy transition by providing engineering and project management services, as well as digital solutions and services in nuclear, power grid, hydrogen, renewable energy, defence and transportation sectors. 

Founded in 1966 to support EDF in the commissioning of the French nuclear fleet, Assystem now supports nuclear projects throughout their entire life cycle. We are one of the top three nuclear engineering groups in the world. Our experts have key skills in engineering and digital technology for the maintenance of nuclear facilities, the extension of reactor lifespans, and the construction of new build programmes (EPR2). 

We are committed to tackling the industry’s major challenges, such as optimising performance, deadlines and costs, digitalising engineering, construction and O&M, innovating and improving safety, as well as decommissioning and waste management. 

We are conducting numerous projects such as the ‘Grand Carénage’ maintenance programme for the French fleet and the EPR2 programme with EDF, as well as the ‘Aval du Futur’ programme with Orano. We are also involved in the future of nuclear power: we have signed several partnerships for the technological and industrial development of AMR/SMR (Advanced and Small Modular Reactors) and we are contributing to fusion research through numerous project management, engineering and construction management assignments for the ITER project. 

In addition to providing its expertise in the nuclear sector, Assystem also supports the deployment of renewable energy, hydrogen and the decarbonisation of the transport sector.
