Introduction

Artelia Group, founded in 2010 through the strategic merger of two renowned French companies, Coteba and Sogreah, stands today as a leading international entity in consulting, engineering, and project management. From its inception, Artelia adopted a multidisciplinary approach, blending diverse expertise across sectors and geographic regions to enhance its global impact and capabilities.

Formation and Founding Members

Artelia's roots are deeply intertwined with the histories of Coteba (1961) and Sogreah (1920).

• Coteba specialized in construction project management and large-scale infrastructure, becoming a significant player in building and urban development projects.
• Sogreah was renowned for its exceptional expertise in water-related infrastructure, energy, and environmental engineering, with notable international projects like the tidal power station on France’s River Rance and innovations such as the tetrapod concrete block.

The merger of these complementary firms formed a robust, diversified foundation for Artelia, positioning it to tackle complex global challenges.

Strategic Growth through Acquisitions

Between 2010 and 2025, Artelia expanded strategically, integrating over 20 specialized firms, each bringing unique expertise and market presence:
