Founded in 1968 by J.R.D. Tata in Mumbai, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is part of the Tata Group, one of India’s largest and most respected industrial conglomerates.
TCS is a global leader in IT services, consulting, and business solutions, helping major corporations transform their operations through digital technologies, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and data-driven innovation.
Today, TCS operates in 55 countries, with over 600,000 employees worldwide and 202 service delivery centres. Its clients include some of the world’s most iconic brands across sectors like retail, finance, industry, and energy.
In France, TCS has been present since 1992, employing around 2,000 people, and supporting the digital transformation of leading French companies. The group’s long-standing commitment to innovation, excellence, and social responsibility has made it a trusted partner for both global and local businesses.
When TCS first looked to expand its French footprint more than a decade ago, the challenge was clear: how to build a sustainable presence in Europe, close to major clients but also close to the talent that drives innovation.
While many international firms concentrated around Paris, TCS saw opportunity elsewhere — in a region combining industrial know-how, digital ambition, and human warmth: Hauts-de-France.
“Northern France is a very dynamic region with a lot of entrepreneurship,” recalls a TCS executive. “The region is able to transform itself on certain important topic such as AI, the electric transition and the production of batteries.”
TCS needed a location that offered more than infrastructure, a region that shared its vision of technological transformation.
From day one, three strengths of the region stood out to TCS:
#1 A deep pool of talents
With universities and engineering schools producing thousands of graduates each year, Hauts-de-France offered skilled, multilingual professionals ready to join global projects.
This access to talent allowed TCS to build a strong, agile team supporting French and international clients.
#2 A thriving ecosystem
TCS established its base at Euratechnologies in 2013, one of Europe’s leading tech incubators, hosting over 300 companies and 4,000 employees.
Here, startups, SMEs, and large corporations collaborate daily — creating an ideal environment for R&D, innovation, and cross-sector partnerships.
#3 A region looking to the future
Hauts-de-France is undergoing a remarkable transformation — positioning itself as a European hub for AI, batteries, and green industry.
With six gigafactories under development within a 300 km radius and an ambition to become Europe’s AI Valley, the region shares TCS’s DNA: future-focused and forward-looking.
More than a decade later, TCS’s decision has paid off.
From its Lille base in Euratechnologies, the company now collaborates with major local players such as Leroy Merlin and Castorama, helping them improve customer experience, data management, and digital strategy.
The teams in Hauts-de-France act as connectors between global technology and local business needs, ensuring that transformation projects deliver both innovation and impact.
TCS’s next chapter in Hauts-de-France will focus on:
By investing in people, partnerships, and purpose, TCS continues to shape the digital future — both globally and locally.
As TCS’s ambitions in Hauts-de-France grew, so did their need for space and connection.
Their previous offices no longer reflected their vision — they wanted to expand their teams, welcome clients, and fully embed themselves in the local innovation landscape.
To make that happen, TCS partnered with Nord France Invest and Hello Lille, two key organisations dedicated to supporting international companies setting up and growing in the region.
Together, they helped TCS connect with the right people, resources, and opportunities.
Here’s how this collaboration turned ambition into reality:
#1
Introductions to regional decision-makers and institutional representatives.
#2
Connections with the local innovation ecosystem, including La French Tech Lille, EDHEC Business School (for research and AI), CITC, the École du Numérique, and the Cité de l’IA.
#3
Support from Euratechnologies in identifying and securing new, larger office space aligned with the company’s growth plans.
This close-knit collaboration between public and private partners created the perfect environment for TCS to scale its operations, strengthen its regional presence, and continue its success story in Hauts-de-France.
