ALG

Their core work

ALG (Attestation Légale) is a French technology SME based in Lyon that builds digital platforms to simplify B2B compliance and legal documentation across European business networks. Their core concept is enabling companies to submit legal attestations and regulatory documents once and share them across multiple business relationships — eliminating repetitive paperwork in procurement, supplier onboarding, and cross-border commercial transactions. They progressed from a feasibility concept (EB2BSN, 2014) to a fully funded product development phase (OnceForAll, 2016–2019), suggesting they successfully validated and built a market-ready platform. Their commercial focus is on reducing friction in the European business environment through digital compliance infrastructure.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

ALG's two-project trajectory reads as a single product journey rather than a diversification. In 2014–2015 they validated the concept of a European B2B social network (EB2BSN, SME Phase 1, EUR 50k), likely a feasibility and business plan exercise. By 2016–2019 they had narrowed and sharpened the proposition into OnceForAll — a platform focused specifically on streamlining legal documentation in the European business environment, backed by EUR 1.49M in SME Phase 2 funding. The shift is from broad network-building ambition to a focused compliance-infrastructure product with a clear "submit once, reuse everywhere" value proposition. No keyword data is available to support finer-grained analysis, so this reading is inferred from project titles and funding scheme progression.

ALG appears to have evolved from a broad digital networking concept toward a focused legal-tech product for B2B compliance, suggesting their collaboration value lies in digital identity, document verification, or procurement automation rather than general platform development.

How they like to work

ALG has acted as sole coordinator on both of their H2020 projects, with zero recorded consortium partners — a pattern typical of SME Instrument projects, which are designed for single-company innovation. This means there is no evidence of collaborative consortium experience: they have not co-developed with research partners, universities, or industry peers in the EU framework. A future partner should expect to be the first institutional collaborator they work with at this scale, which is both an opportunity and a due-diligence flag.

ALG has no recorded consortium partners and no cross-country collaboration in their H2020 history, consistent with the solo-applicant structure of the SME Instrument. Their network, if any, is commercial rather than research-based.

What sets them apart

ALG is one of the few French legal-tech SMEs to have secured both SME Phase 1 and Phase 2 funding for the same product concept, indicating that the European Commission's evaluators found the OnceForAll platform commercially credible and technically feasible. Their specific niche — reducing cross-border legal documentation friction for European businesses — sits at the intersection of RegTech, digital single market policy, and B2B procurement, an area with sustained EU political backing. For a consortium seeking a market-facing technology partner with validated EU funding track record in business digitalisation, ALG represents a commercially oriented counterpart rather than a research actor.

Highlights from their portfolio

• OnceForAll
  The largest grant in their portfolio (EUR 1,491,525 under SME Phase 2) and the most mature product stage — this is their flagship platform, representing a fully funded market-entry effort in European B2B compliance technology.
• EB2BSN
  Their earliest project (2014–2015) and the proof-of-concept that seeded the OnceForAll product line — notable as evidence of a deliberate SME Phase 1 → Phase 2 funding strategy rather than opportunistic grant-seeking.
