That\u2019s why we build human-centered cognitive solutions to empower the heroes on the front lines defending our freedoms and way of life, so that people can live good, meaningful lives in a safer and more resilient Europe.<\/p>\n Helping people has always been at the heart of everything we do for over 30 years.<\/p>\n B\u00e9atrice and Mark\u2019s commitment began early. From studying psychology in 1991 to better understand and support others, to creating free software with Beamak in 1994, and dedicating time to digital education through CyberEcoles in 1998. Over the years, we have supported many causes: bringing clean water to communities with 1001 Fontaines, distributing food to those in need, educating young people on social networks and online safety, supporting parents\u2019 associations, and helping underprivileged youth find employment through \u201cNos Quartiers ont des Talents\u201d.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|300|||||||” text_line_height=”1.8em” header_text_align=”center” text_orientation=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n But it all began in 1994. B\u00e9atrice and Mark, cognitive psychology students in Paris, shared a passion for computer science and programming. They founded Beamak (a contraction of B\u00e9atrice & Mark), an association dedicated to exploring these ideas. During its years of activity, Beamak developed around twenty open-source software programs, distributed through the specialized press. In 1996, the association was recognized for a pioneering innovation: the first database capable of ingesting and searching unstructured information in natural language, as intuitively as chatting with a friend. This system was based on an advanced search algorithm incorporating fuzzy logic. It was notably used in 1997 to simulate dialogues on Minitel services.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|300|||||||” text_line_height=”1.8em” header_text_align=”center” text_orientation=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n As cognitive psychologists, B\u00e9atrice and Mark collaborated with the CNRS (French National Centre for Scientific Research) and the artificial intelligence research laboratory LAFORIA, before embarking on a career spanning more than 20 years in digital transformation consulting. They have led more than 200 projects for major European groups such as AG2R, Airbus, Areva, ASML, Bouygues Telecom, Europcar, France T\u00e9l\u00e9com, Generali, Groupama, La Banque Postale, Orange, P\u00f4le Emploi, Renault Nissan, SFR, Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 G\u00e9n\u00e9rale, Thales, Total and Vodafone, within companies such as Andersen Consulting (now Accenture), Capgemini and Hewlett Packard Enterprise.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|300|||||||” text_font_size=”20px” text_line_height=”1.8em” header_text_align=”center” text_orientation=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Helping people inside organizations has always been equally important to us. Many critical business processes still rely on human intelligence because traditional technologies fall short. Reading documents, understanding context, detecting intent, tone, and subtle signals remains time-consuming, subjective, and prone to errors due to fatigue or oversight, all of which slow down decision-making. HR teams spend countless hours analyzing employee feedback to detect low morale and psychosocial risks. Marketing and sales teams monitor brand reputation and competitive signals in real time. Customer support teams decode emotions and dissatisfaction to prevent churn. In all these situations, we saw a clear opportunity: by combining human capabilities with the right technology, these processes could become far more efficient and insightful.<\/p>\n At the time, we believed Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Natural Language Processing could provide the solution. But after years working at the intersection of cognitive psychology and computer science, we made a powerful observation: most AI was heading in the wrong direction. It was becoming more powerful, yet less understandable, less trustworthy, and completely disconnected from how humans actually process information. We saw tools that could analyze massive amounts of data but consistently failed to grasp human intent, context, and weak signals the way humans do.<\/p>\n That\u2019s when our mission became clear: create technology that truly understands humans, not by imitating statistics and probabilities, but by faithfully reproducing the way the human mind processes symbolic information.<\/p>\n In 2016, we founded Aeteos, a French family-owned company dedicated to third-generation symbolic cognitive computing. Drawing from neuroscience, cognitive psychology, philosophy, and linguistics, we developed Percipion\u2122, a sovereign, secure, explainable, and deeply human-centered cognitive platform designed to assist and empower those who help others, never to replace them.<\/p>\n The success of Percipion in the enterprise world led us in 2023 to be approached by the association #IWAS, which was looking for a solution capable of fighting crimes against children. We adapted and extended Percipion to this critical use case. This opened the door to a new world, one of serious crime, digital threats, and the protection of the most vulnerable.<\/p>\n Since then, our commitment has deepened. We took the presidency of \u201cPoint de Contact\u201d, a historic French NGO fighting cyber violence. Mark joined the Gendarmerie Nationale as Lieutenant Colonel in the Cyber Reserve (ComCyber-MI). Together with B\u00e9atrice, he chairs research on pedocriminal strategies at the Gendarmerie\u2019s research center and actively participates in coalitions such as ChildSafetyOn to better protect children online.<\/p>\n By the end of 2025, we made the decision to fully dedicate our efforts to supporting those who protect others by providing them with a sovereign threat intelligence platform.<\/p>\n Today, we continue this journey at Aeteos: building ethical, eco-responsible, and fully sovereign \u201cMade in France\u201d technology that law enforcement, defense, forensics, and critical organizations can trust when it matters most. We don\u2019t just develop software. We create tools that help protectors protect, so that all of us can live in a safer and more resilient Europe.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_heading title=”Our team” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” title_level=”h2″ title_font=”–et_global_heading_font||||||||” title_text_align=”left” title_text_color=”gcid-primary-color” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-primary-color%22:%91%22title_text_color%22,%22title_text_color%22,%22title_text_color%22%93}”][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|300|||||||” text_font_size=”20px” text_line_height=”1.8em” header_text_align=”center” text_orientation=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
