Eduform'Action

What Eduform'Action does

Eduform'Action is a French professional training group operating as a multi-subsidiary platform organized around four strategic poles: Health, Management & Security, Habitat & Energy Renovation, and Digital & Tech. The group delivers initial, continuing, and apprenticeship training to more than 60,000 learners annually through a network of 100+ employees and 1,500 partner trainers, with physical campuses in Boulogne-Billancourt (1,000+ m², inaugurated October 2024), Belz, Lyon, and Nîmes, plus nationwide DROM-COM coverage. Its portfolio includes eleven subsidiary brands — Phosphoria, FORSIM, Ostéobio, Santestim, SOFIS, MEDIAPREV, PROJEXIA, EMHa, INNOV8LEARN, DBS, and adLearnMEDIA — most acquired through external growth, with the group's revenue multiplied 2.5x in two years on the back of eight targeted acquisitions.

The underlying technology stack combines physical delivery infrastructure with blended-learning modalities (in-person, distance, hybrid, immersive) augmented by VR headsets, simulation tools, and Qualiopi-certified pedagogical standards. INNOV8LEARN, a subsidiary created in 2024, provides AI, cybersecurity, CSR, and digital-communication training programs, while its IA 360 device (launched February 2026) supports SMEs in operational AI adoption. The platform architecture enables cross-selling across verticals and unified access to French public training funding through OPCOs, CPF, and regional subsidies.

Eduform'Action monetizes through professional training services delivered via intra-company (on-site at client) and inter-company (at own campuses) sessions, CFA apprenticeship programs (notably EMHa's CFA), and specialized schools (Ostéobio's 5-year osteopathy curriculum, DBS's BTS/Bachelor/Mastère programs). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; revenue is funded through a mix of OPCO, CPF, regional, and employer contributions. The group targets private enterprises (SNCF, Leroy Merlin, Intersport, Castorama, Klépierre, Elsan), public institutions (Ministère des Armées), healthcare networks (LNA Santé, ANFH), and construction training funds (Constructys). FY2025 consolidated revenue was €11.6M with operating profit of €337K and net profit of €174K; the company is publicly listed on Euronext Growth Paris (ticker MLEFA) since June 2026.
