Management consulting is one of the most intellectually demanding professions in the world. Yet the tools consultants rely on have not kept pace with the complexity of what they do. Cigno was founded to change that. We build the AI-Native Core Consulting System, co-designed with and for consultants, that combines the art of management consulting with the mastery of AI. What Cigno does: Cigno combines a specialized network of AI agents & workflows, hundreds of consulting frameworks, and curated data sources to help consultants deliver faster, research deeper and think sharper ; across Strategy, M&A, Tech, Ops, Data projects and more. Every output is client-ready. Every finding is sourced and auditable. And the consultant stays in control throughout. Cigno also enables consultancies to go further : embedding their own methodologies, knowledge base and visual identity. Firms can productise their IP, standardise quality across teams, and deliver with consistency at scale. Each firm runs on a dedicated, sovereign instance hosted in Europe. Built with the best: Cigno has been co-designed with 15+ senior partners from BCG, McKinsey, Bain, Credit Suisse and leading European mid-market firms. Our board and advisory network brings together executives with careers spanning Meta AI, BCG, Bain, SonarSource and Swissquote. Our conviction: AI is not enough. Insight, judgment and trust remain — and must remain — profoundly human. We see a new golden age for consulting: not automation, but elevation.

Wattson is a mobile charging platform for ultra-fast charging of electric vehicles. Its main technological advantage is having developed high end mobile EV chargers. Users can get in touch with the platform to indicate the amount of charging they need and the place where the charge will take place. While doing other activities, like working or shopping the charger arrives and charges the vehicle. In cases of an stranded EV, Wattson can also avoid it being towed. Without the need to install new networks or fixed charging points, Wattson is capable of charging vehicle fleets, assistance vehicles, shared mobility services or micromobility services. Through a complex system of power electronics, energy storage and communication equipment, EVs are charged with a power of up to 300kW from a 200kWh battery. Wattson aims to help reinforce the lacking charging infrastructure and contribute to the energy transition.

We support you over time, during expansion phases and their more challenging periods alike. By providing a full range of solutions suited to your needs, we play a facilitating role to help you realise your ambitions and leverage your potential. This is why we intend to develop an authentic advisory relationship for all of your financial issues, specifically risk anticipation and management. Our model is based on both bankers who have a very detailed knowledge of their clients and the sectors in which they are active, as well as a broad cross-asset view of the bank’s various products and experts who bring sophisticated technical skill to their work. This client coverage model, though not in itself unique to Societe Generale, finds a better home there because of the bank’s ability to pool expertise in order to provide bespoke solutions to your needs. As a key pillar of the Societe Generale Group’s universal banking model, SG CIB supports the economy by playing a key intermediary role, offering broad market access to issuers and smart investment solutions to investors. The service we bring to our corporate and financial institutions clients revolves around three main activities - investment banking, financing and markets - and our global franchises of equity derivatives and natural resources. For our clients we stand out because we are a trusted advisor with a worldwide leading engineering expertise and a quality product suite.
