OMNES Education

What OMNES Education does

OMNES Education is the largest private higher education group in France, operating a platform of 15 schools across business, engineering, communication, political science, design, and data/technology disciplines. Founded in 1975 in Bordeaux as INSEEC and rebranded under its current name in October 2021 alongside a €100 million innovation commitment, the group trains approximately 40,000 students annually — including 15,000 alternants (apprentices) and 2,000 executives in continuing education — and operates 19 campuses across France (Paris, Lyon, Bordeaux, Rennes, Marseille, Chambéry, Toulouse, Beaune) and internationally (Geneva, Lausanne, Monaco, London, Barcelona, Munich, Abidjan, San Francisco).

The group generates revenue primarily through tiered annual tuition fees (under €7,000, €7,000-€12,000, or over €12,000), enrollment deposits differentiated by nationality (€800 national, €500 international), and a €490 international student services complement. Additional revenue streams include executive and continuing education delivered through the Sup Career online platform, apprenticeship contracts, and B2B corporate training through the DataScientest subsidiary, which serves 30 CAC 40 companies. Distribution combines direct on-campus enrollment, an online admissibility portal for international students, recruitment at education fairs in Casablanca, Tunis, and Panama, and a Service des Relations Entreprises et Alumni (SREA) network managing relationships with 10,000 corporate partners.

Technology infrastructure centers on proprietary digital platforms (Campus numérique, Boostcamp), with a strategic AI transformation announced in 2025 and operationalized in 2026 via a dedicated Chief AI Officer role. The group holds a deep stack of accreditations (AMBA, EFMD, CTI, EUR-ACE, SecNumEdu, BSIS IMPACT, GRADE MASTER, EduQua, SGS ISO 9001, DD&RS, Conférence des Grandes Écoles) and is supported by a 215,000+ alumni network. Ownership resides with the parent entity Organisation et Développement (SAS, Courbevoie), with Marc-Henri Desportes serving as Executive Chairman since September 2025.
