At Idex, he developed in France and abroad a broad range of energy and environmental services: offices and buildings energy efficiency solutions, waste treatment and energy recovery, heating and cooling urban networks. Alain ensured a leading role in the renewable energy sector by managing several innovative projects: geothermal heat and wind farms in the 1980s, waste anaerobic digestion and cogeneration in the 1990s.
Under his management, Idex became the first independent French energy and environmental services Group, increasing its size by 4 in 20 years: in 2015 Idex Group generates 720 M € turnover and counts 3600 employees. After selling Idex to Cube Infrastructure fund at the end of 2011, he became Director of Idex Supervisory Board.
