L-up’s core team of nine senior consultants

Our unique network of 80 senior S&T experts
covers industry and research, primarily in the sectors of transport, ICT, energy, materials, health, biotechnology, and circular economy.
Our approach is characterised
by the ability to listen and to rapidly integrate with existing teams, while furnishing vast expertise and a useful toolbox for managing complex projects.
20 years of experience
L-up was established in 2001 by Philippe Bellier.
Striving for excellence, Philippe’s objective was to create a highly flexible, human-centred working environment, characterised by trust and appreciation, allowing L-up’s “field-proven” senior consultants to entirely focus on the client and on the quality of L-up’s contribution to each mission.
Phillipe’s approach was totally avant-garde in 2001 and still is incredibly progressive today.
But his vision reaches beyond: It places critical collective reviewing of projects, processes, or business models at the core of L-up’s unique modus operandi, thus allowing to capture different opinions and to promote exchange as well as individual and organisational learning.
Why “L-up”?
For the curious among you:
L-up is derived from the Roman numeral for 50 and refers to the fact that L-up’s senior experts do not only carry the title “senior consultant” but actually DO have up to 30 years of professional experience and thus are around 50. We don’t claim that 50 is the new 40 – it’s the NEW 50, mature, dynamic, eager to share our knowledge, and able to move things forward.
SCIENCE & ENGINEERING
Dual-cultural competencies and expertise underpin project success
Expertise is the core of our services: Our consultants combine professional know-how in specific S&T fields with longstanding experience in managing and auditing complex international projects.
70% of L-up’s consultants hold a second citizenship in addition to the French and have lived and worked abroad, from Finland, Italy, the Netherlands to Poland and from Germany to the United Kingdom and Bangladesh!
