HEKZÉ and NOESYSAI Unveil a Unique AI Due Diligence Solution

Paris, December 2, 2025 – HEKZÉ and NoeSysAI announce the launch of an unprecedented AI Due Diligence solution, designed to enable investment funds to assess companies’ ability to create value through artificial intelligence. The result of a strategic partnership combining operational expertise, scientific excellence, and a shared commitment to responsible finance, this approach establishes a new standard for rigorous analysis, based on objective evidence and structured evaluation.

Combined Expertise Serving Investors

At the origin of this initiative is the report “The Adoption of Artificial Intelligence in Firms”, published by the OECD, the Boston Consulting Group, and INSEAD, to which Professor Theodoros Evgeniou contributed. This work served as the starting point for a collaborative reflection between HEKZÉ and NoeSysAI, a firm co-founded by the latter and Gaël Gioux. Their respective backgrounds, combining leading scientific expertise with deep knowledge of AI applications in business, form a solid foundation to address the current challenges faced by investors.

By combining HEKZÉ’s experience in private equity with NoeSysAI’s technical expertise in applied artificial intelligence, the two entities have developed a solution specifically designed for investment funds. It aims to inform the due diligence phase by providing a rigorous, objective, and operational assessment of a company’s real capacity to create value through AI.

Towards the First AI Value Assessment Tool Pre-Investment

This solution evaluates both the veracity of technological promises made by companies and the tangible potential for operational optimization linked to AI. This dual perspective distinguishes genuine innovation from narrative, giving investors a clear view of levers, risks, and opportunities. It thereby encourages more responsible capital allocation, highlighting investments that truly create value and align with ethical AI use.

The ambition is significant: to create the market’s first tool capable of assessing AI value before investment, securing decision-making and reinforcing value creation assumptions. By combining private equity rigor with advanced AI expertise, HEKZÉ and NoeSysAI aim to provide evidence where others rely on statements alone, helping investors grasp tomorrow’s value even before deals are finalized. The solution is expected to launch in Q1 2026.

“We are thrilled about this collaboration with NoeSysAI, which allows us to work with global references in the field of applied AI. Our joint project is based on one principle: AI is an opportunity and a necessity; it is not a ready-made solution or a magic wand. Understanding AI’s role in a company and its value-creation potential is as much about tech as it is about leadership, organization, and vision. It’s a step ahead of the market—a real poker game to anticipate others’ AI moves!” commented Eric Dodin, President and Co-Founder Partner of Hekzé.

“I am very pleased with this partnership between HEKZÉ and NoeSysAI. Together, we offer investors an AI due diligence approach that goes far beyond technology alone: it analyzes value-creation logic, data quality, governance, operational maturity, and companies’ actual ability to deploy AI in the years ahead. Based on verifiable indicators—no slogans—we provide a crucial lever to reveal the real potential of portfolio companies and maximize their future performance,” added Theodoros Evgeniou, co-founder of NoeSysAI.
