WHERE DOES NEXSOM COME FROM?
Nexsom, a principle of synergy
Nexsom is the combination of two strong ideas
NEX: First, there is Nexus, which means a connection, a link, where multiple elements meet. For us, it represents the interaction between water, energy, power, and all stakeholders.
SOM : The other component of the name corresponds to the concept of sum. The union of energies, wills and resources forms a whole greater than the sum of its parts.
Connecting energies and combining skills for collective efforts that transform the lives of vulnerable communities.
ORIGINALLY A DESIRE OF GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT EMPLOYEES
Born out of the determination of some of our Spanish-speaking employees, a working group was set up within Global Development in 2017 to explore opportunities in Latin America, strengthen existing links and develop this market. A number of contracts were won, including technical assistance provided by an expert in Bogotá, Colombia, from 2019.
On the back of this, the desire to bolster our regional presence led to the creation of our Latin American subsidiary in June 2022. And thus, Nexsom was born.
OUR VALUES
We wish to contribute to achieving the SDGs as part of a completely independent, professional, and innovative engineering group. A group that respects humanist values and the well-being of its employees, that is managed in a participatory manner, and in which we derive satisfaction from our work and our commitment.
QUALITY AND EFFICIENCY
We seek to maximize the impact on vulnerable populations, ensure rapid operational deployment and strict adherence to deadlines.
FLEXIBILITY AND INNOVATION
We adapt our services to the specific needs and features of the local context, with a constant focus on methodological innovation.
INTEGRITY AND TRANSPARENCY
We base our practices on a stringent CSR policy, particularly with regard to anti-corruption and environmental protection.
DYNAMISM AND ENTHUSIASM
We value initiative, autonomy and an entrepreneurial spirit, both within our team and among our partners.
DISSEMINATING AND USING KNOWLEDGE
We place particular importance on passing on our know-how in order to make effective use of local skills.
