After university studies in physics-chemistry and management, I got involved in technological development by participating in the formation of one of the first innovation centers in France in the late 1980s, at the heart of the campus of the University of Orleans. I developed a system for creating innovative businesses based on a partnership with the CNRS and the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques.

At the request of Michelin and Limagrain companies, I created an economic and industrial prospective agency in Clermont-Ferrand supported by local authorities. It was the President of the Sophia Antipolis interministerial mission who entrusted me to run it in 1993. I then traveled the world to identify strategic sectors such as the development of high purity magnesium or the reprocessing of waste with a high carbon content by a vacuum pyrolysis process.

I was later entrusted with the engineering of the research and development center for electric and hybrid vehicle components (CEREVEH), which was created in Poitiers. The concept, prefiguring competitiveness clusters and inspired by my frequent stays in Quebec, responds to industrialists’ demands for finding collaborative ways to improve electric motorization and battery optimization by bringing together industrial and French research laboratories.

In 2018, I co-founded the company ALYSOPHIL, which is based on the principle of combining continuous flow chemistry with the development of artificial intelligence. This cross-fertilization announces the 21st century chemical industry and provides the tools and technological arguments for the relocation of essential industrial manufacturing in order to contribute to France's sovereignty in the pharmaceutical, materials and defense fields.

In short, I remain a tireless observer and actor of models of scientific valorization in the service of an economic humanism to which I am unfailingly attached.
