An extensive, complex ecosystem
Regardless of whether RATP Group provides advice, recommendations, assessments, or adjustments, it plays a pivotal role in ensuring collective efficiency. The Group’s proven expertise and in-depth knowledge of systems nurture relationships of trust with transport authorities as well as industrial players. This is how the Group contributes to a collaborative dynamic that creates value for every stakeholder.

Solutions developed for and with transport authorities
Where RATP Group adds value:
- Design of new transport systems, i.e., building lines (or networks) from scratch, known as greenfield projects,
- Upgrades to existing projects, i.e., extending, upgrading and/or automating existing lines or networks, known as brownfield projects.
In upstream phases, RATP Group experts assist transport authorities in sizing, defining and optimising infrastructure. And throughout project phases, they provide support in operations and maintenance, from pre-project research to performance audits. These tasks are always carried out in close collaboration with transport authorities. The shared objective is clear: optimise investments and costs, while putting passengers’ needs at the core of the approach. It means working together to find the right balance between expenditure – for the community and users – and the level of service provided.
Unifying and incentivising industrial partners
Over the years, RATP Group has forged close ties with its main industrial partners. These relationships of trust and mutual recognition provide partners with the opportunity to contribute their expertise in solving what are often complex problems.
Through integrated project management and ownership, the Group is able to work in short loops, adjusting work site orientations in real time when unforeseen technical circumstances arise. This agile operating mode, which is crucial to honouring our client commitments, is based on ongoing dialogue with industry players, notably by sharing feedback.
RATP Group has succeeded in striking the right balance between three imperatives:
- Retaining sufficient autonomy to ensure the maintenance of its assets, and upgrade products;
- Sharing a long-term vision with its technical service providers, by giving them visibility over workload plans;
- Preserving a competitive environment, which is essential for stimulating innovation.
Strengthening supplier synergy
The “Extended enterprise” initiative aims to establish renewed dialogue with suppliers, thereby fostering collaborative construction and innovation. This approach corresponds to the challenges of the Group's new five-year investment plan for the Île-de-France region. The Group is thus seeking to increase the integration of its strategic suppliers into its efficiency and value creation.
Four levers have been activated:
- Clearly distinguishing the activities covered by the extended enterprise;
- Setting up Group-wide units involving technical specifiers, maintenance operators, and professionals in logistics and purchasing, to create the best strategy upstream, and manage its deployment with suppliers;
- Organising regular strategic performance reviews with suppliers, to observe the level of efficiency achieved and identify common areas for improvement;
- Integrating the extended enterprise approach into a global vision of the rail industry.
