What Next stop does

Prochaine Escale (trade-name translation: "Next Stop") is a privately held French corporate event management agency founded in 2015 and headquartered at 8 rue de Sofia, Paris (18th arrondissement). The agency designs and executes corporate seminars, conventions, team-building experiences, and incentive trips for French and international business clients, operating an extensive destination network that spans roughly 24 French regional pages and 30+ international destinations across Europe (Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Croatia, the Czech Republic, the UK, Malta, Hungary, Slovenia, Poland, Finland), North Africa (Morocco) and the Caribbean (Dominican Republic), with Montenegro also listed. The firm is led by founder Renaud Moulas as Président and reports a headcount in the 1-10 employee band.

The business runs as a hybrid agency-platform. Service delivery is full-service event planning from concept and destination selection through on-site execution, and is bundled with three named proprietary digital products: a gamified mobile application for participant engagement ("Application Mobile Prochaine Escale"), a web-based attendee registration and management platform ("Plateforme d'Inscription et de Gestion"), and "Sémivert," a branded eco-responsible methodology that embeds systematic carbon footprint assessments into every proposal. Revenue is generated entirely through professional services fees for custom-designed corporate events under quote-based, multi-year engagement pricing; no standard tiers are published.

Go-to-market is direct and consultative: the website serves as the primary lead-generation channel with an SEO-rich destination and thematic architecture (11 thematic and 11 team-building variants), supported by a "Mon Voyage Entreprise" brief intake form, phone (01 83 75 07 97), email ([email protected]), LinkedIn and editorial content, with bottom-of-funnel conversion driven by client testimonials and word-of-mouth referrals. The public client portfolio includes Roland Berger, Monitor Deloitte, Spendesk, EVS and PayFit, signaling traction with French enterprises and growth-stage technology firms despite the small team. No external investors, parent entity, subsidiaries, M&A, regulatory actions, or leadership transitions have been disclosed.
