PRICE INDUCTION SA

Their core work

Price Induction is a French private-sector company specializing in aviation propulsion technology, with a focus on combustion engine systems for aircraft. Their H2020 participation was conducted entirely within Clean Sky 2 — the EU's flagship aviation research joint technology initiative — where they contributed to both the Large Passenger Aircraft and Engine Integrated Technology Demonstrator programs. Their industrial work centers on developing advanced aircraft engines, and they operate as a technical specialist embedded in large, complex European aerospace consortia. They are a practitioner company, not a research institution, which means they bring manufacturability and engineering realism to propulsion development programs.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

In the earlier phase of their H2020 engagement (2014-2019), Price Induction operated within the broad Large Passenger Aircraft program, where no specific technical keywords were captured — suggesting a systems-level or supporting role in that phase. By 2018-2019, their documented focus shifted explicitly to engines and combustion, pointing to a sharper, more narrowly defined technical contribution in their second engagement. The trajectory indicates a progression from broad aerospace program participation toward tighter specialization in combustion engine performance and development.

Price Induction appears to be deepening their focus on combustion engine technology within aviation, making them an increasingly specific propulsion partner for programs targeting engine efficiency, alternative aviation fuels, or next-generation aircraft powerplants.

How they like to work

Price Induction has participated exclusively as a partner across all H2020 engagements, never taking a coordination role — indicating they prefer to contribute defined technical expertise within larger programs rather than lead them. Both projects sit inside Clean Sky 2 mega-consortia, which accounts for their unusually high partner count of 94 across just two projects: this reflects the scale of the JTI framework, not independent bilateral network building. For a potential collaborator, this means they are experienced at operating within complex multi-partner programs but offer no track record as consortium initiators or work package leaders.

Price Induction has interacted with 94 unique partners across 14 countries, but this breadth is driven entirely by their embedding within two large Clean Sky 2 consortium structures rather than independent partnership development. Their geographic reach is European in scope, with a strong aerospace-industrial concentration consistent with the CS2 program geography.

What sets them apart

Price Induction occupies a specific niche as a French industrial company with proven access to Clean Sky 2 — the most competitive and well-funded EU aviation R&D program — at the level of engine technology contribution. Unlike academic partners or large primes in such consortia, they bring industrial-grade combustion engine development capability as a focused specialist. For consortium builders targeting aviation propulsion demonstrators or engine efficiency programs, they offer a direct link to an experienced, non-academic engine technology company with CS2 credentials.

Highlights from their portfolio

• LPA GAM 2018
  Largest funded engagement for this organization (EUR 261,649), placing Price Induction inside the Clean Sky 2 Large Passenger Aircraft IADP — one of the highest-profile EU aviation technology programs of the H2020 era.
• ENG GAM 2018
  Direct participation in the Engine ITD (Integrated Technology Demonstrator) is the most technically specific engagement on record, aligning precisely with the company's combustion and propulsion expertise.
