Franz was born when strategy consultants, data-scientists and lobbyists met to reshape data-intensive industries in Europe.

Current trends are more than ever challenging the established order. The new paradigm is paradox, inspiring companies to be ever more creative and bold in their strategic choices. A new era is opening, it is digital and it requires new environmental, economic and social answers.

Franz as a leverage on the EU Data Strategy.

We bridge the gap between traditional industries and issues and new opportunities around data space and decentralization.

We support some of the first major business initiatives around Digital Market Act or DeFi in various industries (Space, Tourism, Finance…). We are strategic partners of Associations and Think-tanks that lead the DMA debate. We work daily with an international association bringing private and public players to shift to a fair data economy in the context of GDPR and European Data Strategy package and the French Think-tank for digital sovereignty that federates several top French leaders advocating for enlightened, European and humanist internet.

We rally the best and brightest DMA experts and advocates in EU. We embody some veterans of data-sharing and consent management  who contributed to the new EU regulation writing.


One team with consulting and data-science skills.

Consulting combines structured approach and people management with experience and creativity. Our consultants focus on exploration, scoping, analysis and design at Corporate level with data-collection and roll-out support at entity level on European scale. They leverage on 40 professionals from a sister company and an extended network of experts.

Data-scientists deliver integrated value proposition to match client needs for data-enlightened answers in the new normal. These services are delivered by the RED Team standalone for specific and recurrent tasks (web-scraping, database analysis, model design, machine learning, tactical tool design and cloud-delivery) or in combination with our consulting offer. They leverage on a European data-lab with 16 data-scientists.
