Our know-how: managing interfaces and controlling risks
Operational project management to control risks
Canopée’s distinguishing feature: its ability to manage and control complex contracts, assembling development, financing, construction, servicing/maintenance, major works, revenue management, energy performance, modification works, etc.
Canopée assumes the role of committed project management, involved in the operational phase and long-term, and also the responsibilities and prerogatives of the client including the corporate mandate.
The total independence of our company
Independence is a key factor for success, especially when it comes to avoiding difficulties of arbitration in conflict of interest situations. Our sole objective: to be at the service of the project alone by ensuring compliance with the Contract and defending the economic and relational balance of the issues at stake.
Excellent sectoral knowledge
Canopée has extensive experience in a number of sectors:
- Sports infrastructure (aquatic centres, national training centres, Velodrome, etc.)
- Health and health security (hospitals, logistics centres, national agency headquarters, etc.)
- Energy and renewable energy transition (biomass, methanisation, storage)
- Police/Justice (regional barracks, police station, prison establishment, etc.)
- Social and teaching (Childhood centre, school group, college…)
- Operating real estate (corporate headquarters, etc.)
- Heavy infrastructure (TGV train station, wastewater network, etc.)
Our story
The encounter
Canopée was founded when Maximin Bessi and François Phulpin met in a well-known company in the real estate sector.
The conviction
From the outset, they held a strong conviction: in the sector of long-term investments in infrastructure (PPPs and energy in particular) or real estate, the operation of projects is an essential and sometimes underestimated phase.
A conscious decision
A real awareness of the complexity of this operating phase: a large number of stakeholders, the long life of the projects and the diversity of the issues to be mastered (accounting, legal, technical maintenance, social life, etc.).
Creation and growth
Since 2011, the company has gained substantial credibility in the PPP sector, gaining the trust of major market stakeholders.
Since 2016, Maximin Bessi has taken over the overall management of Canopée, with a new partner, Facilitis, and relying on a professional and agile team and strong growth.
