What Nomad Education does

Nomad Education, founded in 2011 in Paris by Caroline Maitrot-Feugeas, is a privately-held French 'entreprise à mission' that operates a mobile-first educational platform covering the full French-language academic pathway from primary school (CP) through Bac+3. The platform spans more than 400 diplomas - including all CAP, Bac pro, BTS, BUT, Prépa, Licence, DN MADE, PASS and IFSI - and delivers mini-courses, corrected quizzes, fiches, exercises, annales and flashcards authored and validated by 400-450 certified French National Education teachers. It serves three principal user groups: French-speaking students from primary to Bac+3 (and their parents as paying customers), French consumers preparing for Brevet, Bac, BTS, concours and language certifications, and underserved learners in 30+ francophone countries (especially in Africa) reached through institutional partnerships.

The technical core is NOMAD'IA, a generative AI personalization engine built on a 'human-in-the-loop' architecture that converts a student's own course materials (photo, PDF or text) into personalized revision pathways and is layered on top of the curated teacher corpus. The underlying RéVIS-I.A. project (adaptive learning + generative AI) is backed by BPI France under the France 2030 i-Nov competition. Distribution combines direct-to-consumer mobile apps (iOS App Store, Google Play), a self-serve website (nomadeducation.fr), freemium-to-paid funneling into NOMAD+ subscriptions (annual and the multi-year 'Pack Réussite 4 ans'), sponsored in-app editorial blocks from partners (Schneider Electric, Marine Nationale, Armée de Terre, EF, OPCO 2i, Lofi Girl, O'Gure), and institutional channels in Africa via Fondation Orange (500,000 students across 1,200 schools in 17 countries), AMADE (100,000 Senegalese students), IFEF, OIF, the UNESCO Global Coalition for Education, and Imagine École.

The business model is freemium subscription-led for the French consumer base, supplemented by sponsored content placements, B2B/B2G partnerships with foundations, NGOs and ministries for the African and impact programs, and grant funding from BPI France and the French government to support R&D and mission-driven free rollout. The company is labeled French Tech 2030 and has been recognized by Forbes France (40 Women 2022), Fondation Orange, Fondation Deloitte, BPI France, Business France and UNESCO. Headcount is approximately 40 employees supported by ~450 contributing teachers; the company reports 10 million cumulative users, 2 million young Francophones reached annually, and 1.8 million children supported globally each year.

• Kartable: French online education platform covering collège and lycée with curriculum-aligned fiches, exercises and revision content. Historically a direct competitor in the French student revision market.

Broad incumbents
