Institut Montaigne: a think tank at the crossroads of 3 fields of reflection
With our group of associates, we looked for a partner who would help us to open up our fields of reflection. Quite naturally, our choice fell on the Institut Montaigne, particularly since the arrival of the new Managing Director: Marie-Pierre de Bailliencourt.
The Institut Montaigne is one of France's leading think tanks, renowned for its apolitical stance and open-mindedness at the crossroads of three fields.
- the ACADEMICS field
- the field of PUBLIC POLICY
- the BUSINESS field
Today, with the Institut Montaigne, we are working on three types of sovereignty:
- ENERGY SECURITY
- DIGITAL SOVEREIGNTY
- FOOD SECURITY
1. Energy sovereignty
ENERGY SOVEREIGNTY has obviously been at the heart of the news for several months now.
iQo, entreprise à mission, accompagne plusieurs de ses clients sur ces sujets de transition. Nous travaillons sur des grands sujets des BIENS COMMUNS.
It is these intangible assets that we must defend. Goods like HEALTH or goods like WATER. It's important for companies to invest in them and contribute to their transformation.
2. Digital sovereignty
Today, as we can see, technological change is becoming ever more pronounced.
- Who has control over their data?
- Who has mastered cloud management today?
- And how do we make France an infrastructure champion?
These are just some of the questions we're asking ourselves, along with the Institut. We will shortly be publishing an article on the fruit of our joint reflections on the subject.
3. Food sovereignty
Since the creation of iQo, we've been deeply involved in the food chain, from upstream to downstream, integrating green unicorns. We're at the heart of the ecosystems, working with both wheat chains and major manufacturers.
This partnership with Institut Montaigne: a responsibility to iQers
This partnership with Institut Montaigne carries a responsibility towards our employees and iQers. By working with Institut Montaigne, we guarantee access to the best experts in each of our key fields:
- HEALTH
- WATER
- FOOD SECURITY
- ENERGY SECURITY
- DIGITAL SOVEREIGNTY.
For iQo, the Institut Montaigne is a gas pedal in our ability to innovate and propose new offers.

Skills hybridization: what does it mean to be a "hybrid maker"?
The hybridization of skills is one of our strong points at iQo. Behind this expression (which may seem fashionable to some) lies the reality of our business.

Purpose washing: definition and risks for companies
