Sponsoring Zephir Project
We join the unclassifiable and bold Zephir Project,
Because it is an incredible human, technological & environmental adventure!
Join BPCE Solutions Informatiques,
ZEPHIR PROJECT’s first “PRIVILEGE GOLD” Partner
Since April 2022, BPCE Solutions Informatiques, a subsidiary of Groupe BPCE, has been responsible for supporting all the IT needs (computers, softwares, data storage, networks, etc.) of their banking group (France’s second-largest banking group), which employs around 100,000 people (Banques Populaires, Caisse d’Epargne, Natixis, BRED, Crédit Coopératif, etc.).
At the heart of Zephir Project, BPCE Solutions Informatiques contributes technically to the analysis of our embedded data, thanks to the know-how of their “data scientist” engineers and their powerful Artificial Intelligence algorithms. Digital expertise at the service of tomorrow’s world!
Join as well the ALTEN Group
ZEPHIR PROJECT’s first “PRIVILEGE” Partner
ALTEN Group, World Leader in Engineering & IT Services, becomes official partner of Zephir Project.
The international ALTEN Group (57,000 people worldwide) brings us its digital know-how and engineering resources to explore with us the future of eco-responsible high performance.
The key areas that we are exploring together are 3D digital simulation in aerodynamics and hydrodynamics. ALTEN is also supporting us in our wind tunnel and sea trials. In particular, we are analyzing very high-speed phenomena to understand the natural mechanisms that enable us to “go through” the water element. The studies also focus on on-board measurement chains and their “frugal” use. A major focus for us is ecodesign based on research into low-footprint materials and high-level partnerships (industrial and academic research), and modern tools for assessing the environmental impact of the solutions studied, even before they are prototyped. Biomimicry is an integral part of the solution resources for our scientists.
It’s all coming together to take giant steps forward!

The BECHTLE Group has joined us in 2025
as a ZEPHIR PROJECT “PRIVILEGE” Partner
The Bechtle Group is a German group founded in 1983, which has become the European leader in the supply of IT equipment for businesses (computers, smartphones, tablets, printers, servers, etc.) and related services (business software, workplace, cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, etc.). The partnership is led by France, with its operational entities on French soil Inmac Wstore, Bechtle Comsoft, Bechtle Direct France and Apixit.
By becoming an official partner of Zephir Project in 2025 through its operational entities in France, the BECHTLE Group (16,000 people / €8 billion in 2024 / info here) brings us its know-how in all these areas.
We need equipment such as on-board smartphones, tablets and powerful computers for local computing (thanks to Inmac Wstore), software and secure workspace with Bechtle Comsoft, Bechtle Direct France. Thanks to these high-level and complementary companies, thanks to their #OnePortfolio offer, we will be able to guarantee a high-performance infrastructure to support the digital simulations of our other partners such as ALTEN or BPCE Solutions informatiques, as well as the protection of our data / cybersecurity with Apixit to protect our innovations.
The timing of this merger is perfect in this dynamic collaboration in the service of our common vision!
Sponsoring Zephir Project: Vision, Purpose and Commitment
Alongside our key technical partnerships, this financial support allows us to activate the synergies (technical and human resources) of our ecosystem.
What if we could combine high performance and ecoresponsibility to serve the world?
While bringing real societal benefits (Ecomobility at low carbon footprint & recyclability, Wind & marine energy, Education)?
What if we could unveil the secrets of absolute sailing glide by learning from biomimetism, birds and fishes?
And challenging the most powerful sailingboats with a Man for the common good?

Which worldwide impact so far?
To this day, some 200 million people around the world have been reached through the press, radio and TV media :
France Television, The Guardian, Rai Uno, France Inter, France Info, France Bleu, Les Echos, Ca m’intéresse, L’EquipeMag, Voiles & Voiliers, L’Indépendant, La Dépêche, Ouest France…
Not to mention the impact on social networks (Instagram, FB, LinkedIn).
Beyond the media coverage and the brand image?
We want to build collectively this unprecedented adventure, and create a winners synergy with high added value.
This is why “Zephir Project” is a diversified and committed collective ecosystem. Our promise!
Several packages are available in our value proposition up to €80k on an annual basis per sponsor.
Join our first Privilege GOLD partner: BPCE Solutions Informatiques (part of BPCE Group), which also provides technical support for our data analysis and AI.
And also the ALTEN Group and the BECHTLE Group, our first “Privilege” partners. They bring us their engineering know-how, devices and services, and numerical expertise, particularly in fluid mechanics and design optimization.
